Many people ask us; what the difference is between a service and an oil and filter change? The answer is a service ensures your vehicle is running well now and includes things that help prevent future problems with your vehicle. Therefore we do not recommend just changing your engines Oil and Filter every 10,000 km or once per year. This is because modern vehicles are more complex than ever, and every 10,000 Km’s or once per year your car needs to also be checked by highly trained, qualified and experienced mechanics for a variety of things included in Basic, Standard or Premium Service options.
*The prices listed above may vary. Each price is an estimate based on:
- A standard small sized (under 1500 cc) car engine
- An engine that uses 3.5 liters of engine oil
- The engine oil is 10/40 semi synthetic
- An engine that uses a standard spin on (non cartridge) engine oil filter
An increase in service price may apply if:
- Your car’s engine is larger than 1500cc.
- Your engine requires fully synthetic oil.
- Your car requires manufacturer-specific parts such as filters, fluids and oil.
If you are unsure, we recommend that you contact us for a price estimate based on your car’s make and model. This will prevent you from facing any unexpected price increases upon completion of your car’s service.
