Car servicing
Interim, full and major services at fixed prices, with the service book stamped.
Which service is due?
Go by your car’s service book or its service reminder. If you do not know, this is the usual pattern; whichever comes first, miles or months.
Interim service
6,000 miles or 6 months
Full service
12,000 miles or 1 year
Major service
24,000 miles or 2 years
Typical intervals; your car’s schedule may differ.
