Major Toyota Service

A major service is the most detailed option and is typically recommended every 24,000 miles or two years.

It includes everything found in a full service – plus additional items such as spark plugs, fuel filters, cabin filters, and in-depth inspections across systems like engine cooling, steering, and electrics. For hybrids, additional checks on battery management and thermal systems are included.

This service is ideal for Toyotas used for long commutes, family travel, or high-mileage driving – ensuring long-term performance and efficiency.

Full Toyota Service

A full service is recommended every 12,000 miles or every 12 months and is designed to maintain everyday reliability. It includes engine oil and filter changes, brake checks, suspension and tyre inspections, fluid top-ups, and a range of system diagnostics. Hybrid vehicles receive additional assessments for battery cooling and regenerative braking wear.

This service supports smooth driving and helps catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs – especially important for urban drivers and hybrid commuters.

Interim Toyota Service

If you cover a lot of miles or use your Toyota for work or regular long-distance travel, an interim service helps keep everything running smoothly between annual check-ups. This includes a basic oil and filter change, tyre checks, brake inspections, and fluid adjustments. For hybrid models, technicians may also assess key components like inverter cooling and system fault codes – providing added peace of mind.
