A major service is the most in-depth option for maintaining your Ford and is typically recommended every two years or 24,000 miles. It includes everything from a full service, along with additional checks and replacements such as air filters, fuel filters, and spark plugs depending on your model.
This level of servicing is perfect for higher-mileage vehicles or those due for a more detailed inspection. With expert technicians and Ford-appropriate parts, it helps ensure your car stays reliable, efficient, and ready for the road ahead.

An interim service is a shorter, essential check designed to keep your Ford in good shape between full services. It’s ideal for high-mileage drivers or those who want peace of mind between annual check-ups.
This service typically includes an oil and filter change, tyre and brake checks, fluid top-ups, and a general inspection of key components. It helps maintain performance and safety, making sure your car stays running smoothly until your next full service.
