What Does a Full Car Service Include?

The list of services is similar for all vehicles with a few variances depending on the make and model of your car. Every car has its own service schedule--generally stated in the owner’s manual.  Following this schedule will help keep your vehicle at its optimum performance level and ensure it lasts you as long as you need it to. 

Wondering what does a full car service include? Ask your car repair specialist.  We recommend that you have the best level of service you can afford.  Just be sure to always ask what is included in a full car service so that you understand what you are paying for.

So what does a full car service include?  Normally, minor services are normally performed at 7,500, 15,000, 45,000 and 75,000 miles while major services are performed at 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000-mile intervals.  Though the major car services are not performed as frequently, they want to be done to protect the guarantee, maintain safety, and boost the resale value of your vehicle.

Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, here are several of the car maintenance items that you should take care of on a regular basis:

• Oil change
• Tire rotation, wheel alignment, and tire balancing
• Car battery
• Inspect and either replace or top-off all fluids.
• Windshield wipers—replace about every 6 months.
• Replace burned-out lights.
• Replace the timing belt and/or serpentine belt at the suggested mileage interval.
• Service the air conditioner/heater.
• Other services related to fuel delivery, ignition and emissions systems.

There are two major benefits of keeping up with vehicle maintenance.  

1. First, your mechanic can let you know what may want to replaced right away, or what can wait a while. 
2. Secondly, you can drive with peace of mind knowing that you have a trustworthy and safe source of transportation.
