Car Service

[kloofnek]

We just had a full service done on a car we have just bought...what exactly is checked when this is done.

The car should have a service booklet which lists the items for each service and is then signed, dated and stamped by the garage that does it.

A full service (every 10,000 - 12,000) should include the below. A minor or interim service will likely just check the oil, brakes, exhaust, battery and tyres
