How many kilometers is a major service?
What is a Major Service on a Car? A major car service is a more comprehensive check-up for your car. It’s generally recommended every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Although this can vary based on your car manufacturer’s recommendations and how frequently you use your vehicle. What’s the difference between a full and major service? A major service includes all the same checks that are carried out in a full car service, but in a major service, they’re much more comprehensive.
Do I really need a 60,000 mile service?
The 60,000 mile (60K) service is an extremely important service interval. It will include all of the maintenance items of a 30,000 mile (30K) service and a bit more. There are often very vital services that are needed at this interval and the financial impact of ignoring this important service can be extremely high. This includes common services like oil changes and tire rotations, as well as component inspections at certain mileage intervals. Common maintenance intervals include 30k, 60k, and 90k miles.
What mileage for full service?
Car manufacturers usually recommend a service every 12,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first. For most drivers covering 10,000 to 12,000 miles a year we recommend a full service each year. Many car service experts will tell you that the best time of year to service your car is in the spring or early summertime. However, it’s often a good idea to schedule a service appointment several times a year, before the start of each new season, to ensure your vehicle is in great shape.
