What is a major service?
A major service is the most comprehensive routine service option. It typically follows a 24-month schedule and goes beyond a full service with deeper checks, additional replacement items where applicable, and more detailed inspection of wear-prone systems.
If you’re unsure whether you need an interim service, a full service, or a major service, we’ll recommend the best option based on mileage, vehicle age and service history.

Why book a major service?
A major service is designed to maximise long-term reliability. It’s a smart choice if your vehicle is ageing, covers higher mileage, or you want deeper preventative maintenance beyond a standard annual service.
- Helps reduce the risk of unexpected faults by inspecting more systems in detail
- Targets wear items that are often missed with lighter service schedules
- Supports smoother running, better efficiency and consistent performance
- Ideal before long journeys or if you’ve bought a used car with limited history
- Can highlight issues early before they lead to expensive repairs or breakdown recovery
If you’re currently dealing with warning lights, it’s often best to start with diagnostics: warning lights check or engine diagnostics.
Detailed diagnostics when required
A major service focuses on preventative maintenance. If your vehicle already has warning lights, performance issues or electrical faults, diagnostics helps identify the root cause quickly.
We use professional Autel and Launch equipment to carry out accurate fault detection. Start with a warning lights check or book engine diagnostics alongside your service.
Any additional work is always quoted and approved before we proceed.
