Different types of car service |what do they include|
"The type of service you need depends on how many miles you complete in a year and the level of service you had previously."
You know that regular servicing keeps your car running at its best, so you’re going to get in touch with a few garages to see how much they charge. The first question they’re going to ask you is: “What type of car service are you after?”
Essentially, there are three different types of car service: Interim, Full, and Major. The type of service you need depends on how many miles you complete in a year and the level of service you had previously.
Interim car service:
An interim car service is an entry-level package that is sometimes called a 'Basic' or 'Bronze' service.
It's designed for high-mileage drivers - those that cover 20,000 miles or more a year - that may need more than one annual service.
Typically, an interim car service will include an oil change, oil filter change, and an inspection of the car's main components, such as the lights, tires, and windscreen wipers.
Other key inclusions in the interim service package are the lubrication of all moving parts, top-up of the engine, brake, and other fluids, and a thorough inspection for any fluid leaks.
Full car service:
A full service, also known as an 'Intermediate' or 'Silver' service, is usually recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
It's ideal for drivers doing lower annual mileages who will only have their car serviced once a year. It includes a wider range of checks and service replacement parts in addition to those carried out during an interim service.
Typically, an interim car service will include an Air filter change, Fuel filter (diesel) / Spark plugs change (petrol), Extensive brake inspection, Wheel bearings, and shock absorbers inspection, Electrical components (e.g. battery, alternator, and starter motor) tested, Air conditioning system inspection, and Radiator and coolant hose checked.
Major car service:
A major service might also be referred to as a 'Master' or 'Gold' service and is recommended every 24 months or 24,000 miles.
If your last annual service was full, your car should have a major service next. It's the most comprehensive service package available that includes everything from a full service.
In addition, parts that are recommended for replacement every two years - including the bake fluid and cabin filter - are changed.
Over time, brake fluid can become contaminated, making the brakes less effective, so it takes longer to stop the car which could have serious consequences on the road. Similarly, the cabin filter will get clogged up with dust and debris; changing it will improve the cabin's air quality.
