Research on chemicals toxic in cars reported by Ecology Center. The American research institute called the research conducted because of the American people on average 1.5 hours spent in a vehicle every day.

The frequency that your vehicle requires servicing will be determined by the manufacturer and will usually be outlined in the owner’s manual. Some vehicle will require shorter distances between servicing and vice versa, but if your vehicle is used for towing a caravan or frequent usage it will likely need servicing more often than a vehicle that’s only used for the weekly shop. As a general guide a car will need a full service every 10,000-12,000 miles or yearly whichever comes first. An interim service can also be carried out if the vehicle is being used for high mileage this should take place every 6 months or 6,000 miles. These are particularly useful for older cars and usually involve replacing the oil filter.

A service is not the same as an MOT and your vehicle will still require one even if it’s less than 3 years old. An MOT is to make sure the vehicle is road worthy where as a service is a health check to make sure that the vehicles running in tip top condition. A regular service will increase the vehicles fuel efficiency by detecting worn spark plugs, replacing clogged air filters, engine sensors or oxygen sensors. It will also decrease the likelihood of the vehicle breaking down as the deterioration of any parts should be picked in the service. This in turn will help to avoid expensive bills as early detection and replacement of faulty parts will prevent any problem from getting worse. Aside from not getting landed with an unexpected bill the major benefit of a regular service has to be safety.

When it comes to selling any vehicle a Full Service History shows the potential buyer that the vehicle has been looked after as a garage will stamp the log book each time a service is carried out. If it’s an expensive car then not having a full service history can impact the price someone is willing to pay for the vehicle.

If a vehicle is still under the manufacturers warranty it will need a regular service that’s carried out in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines. Pre 2004 vehicle would have to be serviced at a main dealer which can be very costly, however this is no longer the case. It’s important to note that new vehicles still under warranty may have stipulations that a service must be performed at specific mileage intervals, without sticking to these guidelines the manufacturers warranty will become void
