How Often Do I Need a Car Service?
At Ballarat Automotive Service Centre, we recommend regular servicing to keep your vehicle in top condition and avoid costly repairs down the line. There are two main service schedules to consider:
Fixed-Schedule Servicing
We recommend servicing your vehicle every 6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first. This is ideal for most drivers, especially those who make short trips or use their vehicles frequently. Regular maintenance at these intervals helps prevent wear and tear, ensuring your car remains reliable and safe.
Pre Trip Inspections
For drivers planning long journeys, towing, or 4x4 adventures, we recommend a Pre Trip Inspection before every big trip. This will give you peace of mind that your vehicle is prepared for the demands of your journey.
Log Book Servicing
For vehicles still under manufacturer warranty or those that follow a manufacturer-recommended maintenance plan, we recommend adhering to the specified service intervals in your log book. This typically means servicing your vehicle at set kilometre milestones or specific time intervals, whichever comes first. By following the manufacturer's schedule, you maintain the vehicle's warranty and ensure all critical components are serviced as needed.
