What is the right time to do a car service?
There are a few factors resulting in the frequency with which you should get your car serviced. People usually ask, how often should a car be serviced? Well, our primary trio for consideration here at The Motor Company PPS ltd are:
• The volume of miles you drive.
• How well is your vehicle maintained?
• The surfaces and condition of road you drive on.
As a good practice of thumb, we suggest you have your car serviced once a year or every 12000 miles, depends on whichever comes first. Heavy car drivers, who run many miles a year, should try to have at least an interim car service every six months or about 6000 miles.
