Product Information

It means that any parts used will be from manufacturer-approved sources and will match the exact specification of the original parts taken off the car, rather than third parties which may or may not match the original ones. Where Mobil Super or Mobil 1 oil is not available, an alternative suitable specification oil will be used. Service book – this is a book that goes with the vehicle and every time it has a service, it has a stamp, from the garage that carried the service out. The most obvious reason a car service history is important is that it lets you know when the last service was carried out. For example, if you buy a car with a full service history, you’ll know when the oil was last changed, so you’ll know when it’s next due to be changed again. If you buy a car with no recent history, you’ll probably need to change the oil immediately to be on the safe side.

While it’s important to note that EU laws mean you can’t be forced to use a main dealership for servicing, doing so ensures official parts are used and the recommended servicing regime is followed at the right times. Often, main dealer technicians are also trained by the manufacturer and are experts in servicing and repairing your car specifically. What does a car service include? Find out more about the different types of vehicle servicing options, including what is a car service. What does a full car service include? Your service book is a document that every car comes with and should have for the duration of its life. It’s what’s used nationally to officially record – with a stamp – services, including details of any and all maintenance carried out along with the date and mileage of the vehicle at the time. Not only is it important for you to have it when you’re using the car on a daily basis, but it’s also a good thing if you’ve got it to hand when you’re trying to sell the car. Do Cars Still Have Service Books?Only you know just how safe your position is and whether you could obtain another similar job should things turn sour. For example, let’s say it states it needs a service every year / 12,000 mile (whichever comes first). For the vehicle to remain healthy, it needs that required service, failure to do so could result with mechanical faults. Some models will also require a cambelt change, which might only be necessary every eight years or 100,000 miles as an example, but involves a lot of work and costs significantly more than a typical service.

If a car has a different garage stamping the book each time, or the services have not been done on time and every time, it’s a sign that the previous owner hasn’t shown too much care and probably doesn’t look after the car in other ways. How can I maintain a full service history? Each car comes with a service book which includes a recommended servicing schedule from the manufacturer. Follow what it says and make sure the garage stamps the book to prove the service has been completed. A car without any service history is worth a lot less, than one with, as it has not been maintained to the manufactures schedule. Cars without any regular services are more likely to have problems, than ones with regular servicing. If you’ve ever been in the market for a used car, there’s a strong chance you’ve heard the term ‘full service history’ (or commonly FSH). A Full car service will save you both time and money, by identifying any minor issues with your car before they become problems. A Full service is a rigorous inspection of your vehicle, which looks at engine oil, lights, tyres, exhaust, brakes, suspension, steering, battery and more. What is included in a Full car service?

A Cam Belt change can seem expensive, however the cost of the cambelt failure can be exorbitant in comparison as your engine can be damaged during the failure. Where to service your car? High-quality fresh engine oil helps to make sure that important components in your engine can move freely.Old oil can restrict the movement of these parts and over time damage can occur. At ATS Euromaster, we use Mobil oil with every car service, due to its superior quality. With higher overheads and staff commissions, garages and dealerships are generally more expensive. Servicing your car with Michanic provides you with While it’s certainly preferable to buy a car with a full service history by the manufacturer’s official dealerships, it’s impossible to put a set value on how much extra you should pay for a car that has it. Used car valuation experts HPI suggest that it won’t make a lot difference to cheaper or older cars, but can significantly affect newer or premium models.
