If you feel the manufacturer approved service for your car goes into too much detail especially when it is out of warranty, rest assured you're not alone. We've made a car service schedule which is as simple to understand as ABC, will be cheaper to follow and it can be used for most popular modern (1980's onwards) petrol driven passenger vehicles. Read below for details.

Our service schedule provides inspection and routine replacement of all vital car components at reasonable timelines when considering typical serviceable items. Whist cars can look very different on the outside, basically the service requirements all remain similar - you need to change the oil, check the brakes, check the fluids etc.

If your car is covered by some sort of warranty, we highly recommend you follow the prescribed service schedule so you don't risk your warranty coverage - this is protection worth having. Please read the conditions on the bottom of this page.

To help you, we've created print versions of the service coupons to help you obtain a service quote from your regular repairer. The idea being that you tell them what you'd like to have done, rather than the other way around. As well as these coupons, we understand the effect service history has on improving re-sale value, so we created a history page you can print for your repairer to stamp, date and sign when they complete a service.

In time we expect to be able to provide a National list of repairers who will advertise a quote directly on this site so you can compare apples and apples service quoting on selected models. If you would like your repairer to be registered, let them know to contact us.

Car Servicing - Understanding is as simple as ABC 
Our servicing schedules are based on the most common manufacturer service intervals and these have been standardised in an easy to follow way.

We recommend servicing every 6 months/15,000klms and at the very least once a year. If left unchecked for too long, your vehicle's running costs could skyrocket. Dangers include debris from the road disturbing the under carriage of your vehicle and causing lubricant leaks which could result in complete component failure.

Car Service Specials' service intervals have been created by a qualified mechanic to ensure your vehicle remains in a safe and reliable working condition. Please note, these intervals may not be of use for high performance and commercial vehicles.

We recommend you have the following intervals in succession and then continue the cycle as follows:

1/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

2/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

3/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

4/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

5/ B Service should be performed every 50,000klms regardless of time.

6/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

7/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

8/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

9/ A Service should be performed in a timeframe of 6 to 12 months or 10,000klms since last service.

10/ C Service should be performed every 100,000klms regardless of time.

Repeat cycle.

Conditions of use:

Please note - The schedules and information on this page are property which belongs to carspecials.com.au, it is a free reference for use by visitors of this site, who have no intention of copying it for commercial use. Unfortunately we have to make the following statement to protect ourselves and if you have any doubts, please do not use our schedule. Carspecials.com.au takes no responsibility whatsoever which may arise out of servicing using this schedule. This is not because we have any doubts about its legitimacy, but it is because there are too many variables which can lead to failure of components, even when a car is serviced to the Manufacturer recommended intervals. Cars unfortunately fail even when they are serviced correctly - servicing reduces overall car ownership costs, significantly reduces major component failure and the inconvenience of a breakdown.
