General Servicing

General servicing prolongs your vehicle's lifespan and helps your mechanic catch minor issues before they lead to expensive breakdowns. It is highly recommended for vehicles that are outside of their manufacturer's warranty period. If your car is still under warranty, you should opt for a Logbook Service, which follows the manufacturer's exact schedule to ensure your warranty remains valid.

A typical general service includes:

Core Maintenance

• Oil & Filter Change: Replacing the old engine oil and filter to keep the engine lubricated and running efficiently.
• Fluid Top-Ups: Checking and refilling brake, transmission, power steering, and coolant fluids, as well as windscreen washer fluid.

Safety Checks

• Brakes: Inspecting brake pads and rotors for wear and tear.
• Tyres: Checking tread depth, assessing for uneven wear, and adjusting tyre pressures.
• Suspension & Steering: Inspecting shocks, struts, and steering components for safety.

System Testing

• Battery & Electrics: Testing the battery health and inspecting all interior and exterior lights.
• Filters & Belts: Check air, fuel, and cabin filters, along with belts and hoses, for cracking or damage.
• Road Test: A short test drive to check drivability and listen for unusual noises.

The timeframe varies depending on the scope of work, but expect the service to take between 60 and 90 minutes.
