Help > Car Servicing > How often should you get a full service?
Most manufacturers recommend getting a full
car service every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. This ensures your vehicle remains safe, efficient, and reliable.
Even if your car appears to be running well, a full service is important for checking key components like brakes, suspension, and the cooling system.
Parts such as air filters and spark plugs are often replaced to maintain performance.
If you drive long distances regularly or make frequent short trips, a full service is essential to prevent wear and tear from going unnoticed.
For those who cover high mileage, combining a full service with an interim service every six months can help maintain your vehicle’s condition.
Following your manufacturer’s recommended service schedule is the best way to protect your car’s health, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce the risk of costly repairs.
