Check your car logbook or owner manual. Your car manufacturer will usually recommend maximum times and distances to leave between servicing intervals, considering factors such as the age, make and model of your vehicle. Professional servicing is generally recommended every six months or 10,000km (whichever comes first).
What is the difference between a logbook service and a normal service?
A logbook services are a series of scheduled services outlined in the logbook to be completed at a particular time or kilometre intervals to maintain the manufacturer’s statutory warranty. A normal or 'general' service considers the overall condition of your car and conducts maintenance and repairs as necessary.
When should I get a wheel alignment service?
A wheel alignment service is recommended every 6 months or 10,000km. If you take your hands off the wheel while driving and your car is pulls to the left or the right that is a strong sign that your tyres are out of alignment.
How often should I get my car's aircon serviced?
We recommend that you get your air conditioning system serviced or regased every 1-2 years. If you detect a problem before that, reach out to our expert air conditioning technicians.
How often should I get my vehicle's breaks inspected?
Ideally, you should get your brakes inspected every six months. You should get your brakes checked immediately if they are showing any warning signs such as squeaking, squealing, or grinding brakes, vibration when braking, wobbling, spongy, or soft brake pedal, or burning smell while driving.
