At Midas, you’ll always know what’s being done, why it matters, and what it costs before we lift a single spanner.
How Often Should You Get a Full Car Service?
For most vehicles, a full car service is recommended every 10,000 – 15,000 km or every 6 – 12 months, whichever comes first.
If you drive in heavy traffic, tow loads, or take long road trips, you may need more frequent servicing, especially for 4WD vehicles. Regular maintenance not only keeps your car performing well but can also prevent bigger (and more expensive) issues down the line.
When you book your Midas full service, we’ll tailor the service schedule to your car’s age, make, model, and driving habits.
Full Car Service vs. Logbook Service: What’s the Difference?
Many drivers wonder whether they need a full car service or a logbook service, here’s the difference:
- Logbook servicing follows your manufacturer’s schedule to maintain your warranty.
- Full servicing is a broader, comprehensive inspection that checks every system, regardless of mileage or manufacturer schedule.
At Midas, we’re qualified to perform both. You can choose the service that suits your needs, knowing your warranty is protected and your vehicle is in expert hands.
Signs Your Car Might Need a Full Service
If you’ve noticed any of the following, it’s time to book in for a comprehensive Midas service:
- Dashboard warning lights
- Uneven tyre wear or pulling to one side
- Sluggish acceleration or rough idling
- Poor fuel economy or strange smells
These are signs your vehicle’s systems might need attention and catching them early can save you time, money, and stress.
