About Servicing

What is the difference between an Interim Service and a Full Service?

A Full Service is ideal for an annual maintenance programme for your car and recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months – whichever is sooner. Some manufacturers may recommend more frequent checks. Interim Servicing is ideal for vehicles used for short, mainly urban journeys or for those who wish to service vehicles doing very high mileage more regularly. An Interim Service every 6,000 miles or 6 months helps keep your car safe and roadworthy between full services.

What is an Oil Service?

  • Changing engine oil and filter.
  • Checking essential items such as tyres, battery, wipers and lights.
  • Topping up essential fluids like brake, windscreen washer or power steering fluids if required.

The Oil Service is not a substitute for a service therefore does not give a ‘service history’ stamp.
Why are there different types of engine oil?

Because not all engines are the same! A growing number of manufacturers specify that an enhanced “specialist oil” will optimise the engines performance. Fife Autocentre will recommend an oil equivalent to the manufacturer’s specification and in some cases you can choose to upgrade your oil from semi-synthetic to “specialist”. Speak to our branch Manager to confirm the right oil for your car.
