Servicing
How often should you service your car?
Time, kilometres, or your logbook — how to know when your car is due, and why skipping a service costs more later.

“When’s my car actually due for a service?” It’s the question we hear most. The honest answer: follow whichever comes first — your logbook interval, the time since your last service, or the kilometres you’ve driven.
A good rule of thumb
- Every 10,000–15,000 km, OR
- Every 6–12 months, whichever comes first
- Always follow your logbook if your car is still under warranty
Why regular servicing pays off
A service is far cheaper than a repair. Fresh oil, clean filters and an early heads-up on worn parts prevent the big, expensive failures — and keep your fuel economy and resale value up. If your car is still under new-car warranty, servicing to the logbook (which we’re happy to stamp) keeps that warranty intact.
