A minor car service typically involves routine maintenance tasks aimed at keeping a vehicle in good working condition. While the specific services included may vary depending on the service provider and the vehicle’s make and model, here are common tasks typically included in a minor car service:

1. Oil and Filter Change: This involves draining the old engine oil and replacing it with fresh oil, along with replacing the oil filter.
2. Fluid Checks and Top-Ups: Inspection and top-up of essential fluids such as coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
3. Tire Inspection: Checking tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition. Adjusting tire pressure as needed.
4. Brake Inspection: Visual inspection of brake pads/shoes, brake discs/drums, brake lines, and brake fluid level.
5. Battery Check: Inspection of the battery terminals, cables, and overall condition. Testing battery voltage and assessing the need for replacement if necessary.
6. Lights and Signals Check: Inspection of headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and other exterior lights for proper operation.
7. Air Filter Check: Inspection of the engine air filter and replacement if necessary.
8. Belts and Hoses Inspection: Visual inspection of drive belts, timing belts (if applicable), and coolant hoses for signs of wear or damage.
9. Wiper Blade Inspection: Checking the condition of windshield wiper blades and replacing them if worn or damaged.
10. Chassis Lubrication: Lubricating chassis components such as door hinges and latches, hood latch, and trunk latch.
11. Visual Inspection: A general visual inspection of the vehicle’s undercarriage, exhaust system, suspension components, and steering components for signs of damage or wear.
12. Diagnostic Scan: Performing a diagnostic scan to check for any stored fault codes or issues with the vehicle’s onboard computer systems (if applicable).

It’s important to note that while a minor service typically covers basic maintenance tasks, more extensive repairs or component replacements may be required based on the vehicle’s condition, mileage, and any specific issues identified during the service. Additionally, service intervals may vary depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations and the vehicle’s usage patterns. Always refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or consult with a qualified mechanic for guidance on recommended maintenance schedules and service intervals.

MAJOR SERVICE

Every 30,000Kms – 40.000 Kms

A major car service, also known as a comprehensive service, involves thorough inspection and maintenance. Here are common tasks:

Consult the owner’s manual for service schedules. A major service ensures vehicle reliability, performance, and safety.

1. Oil and Filter Change: Similar to a minor service, a major service involves draining the old engine oil and replacing it with fresh oil, along with replacing the oil filter.
2. Fluid Checks and Top-Ups: Comprehensive inspection and top-up of essential fluids such as coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
3. Brake System Inspection: Thorough inspection of the entire brake system, including brake pads/shoes, brake discs/drums, brake lines, brake calipers, and brake fluid level. Measurement of brake disc thickness and evaluation of brake performance.
4. Engine Air Filter Replacement: Replacement of the engine air filter to ensure optimal air flow and engine performance.
5. Fuel Filter Replacement: If applicable, replacement of the fuel filter to maintain fuel system cleanliness and performance.
6. Spark Plug Replacement: Replacement of spark plugs (if applicable) to ensure proper ignition and fuel efficiency.
7. Timing Belt Replacement: If the vehicle is equipped with a timing belt and it is due for replacement based on the manufacturer’s recommendations or mileage, this is typically performed during a major service.
8. Cooling System Inspection: Comprehensive inspection of the cooling system, including the radiator, hoses, thermostat, water pump, and coolant level. Testing for leaks and assessing overall system performance.
9. Suspension and Steering Inspection: Visual inspection of suspension components, including shocks, struts, springs, control arms, and steering components. Checking for signs of wear, leaks, or damage.
10. Battery and Charging System Check: Testing the battery voltage and checking the condition of the battery terminals and cables. Inspection of the alternator and charging system for proper operation.
11. Exhaust System Inspection: Visual inspection of the exhaust system, including the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, muffler, and exhaust pipes. Checking for leaks, damage, or excessive corrosion.
12. Transmission Service: Depending on the vehicle’s transmission type (automatic or manual) and service interval, this may involve replacing the transmission fluid and filter, adjusting the linkage (for manual transmissions), and performing diagnostic checks.
13. Diagnostic Scan: Performing a diagnostic scan to check for any stored fault codes or issues with the vehicle’s onboard computer systems. This helps identify any potential problems that may require further attention.
14. Tire Rotation: Rotating the tires to ensure even tread wear and prolong tire life.
15. Wheel Alignment: Checking and adjusting the wheel alignment as needed to ensure proper handling, tire wear, and vehicle stability.

It’s essential to consult the vehicle owner’s manual or follow the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule to determine when a major service is due and what specific tasks should be performed. A major car service helps ensure the vehicle’s continued reliability, performance, and safety by addressing key maintenance needs comprehensively.
