Vratenza Supersonic August 12, 2022 Share August 12, 2022 1 hour ago, BoneStock said: my car is 3year plus now but I stopped going back to agent after the free servicings were used up. Have been servicing once every 10 months since I clock only 1000km a month nowadays. No issue, engine is still very smooth. btw, my car still has almost 2 years warranty left. Once, I sent it back to agent to rectify a noise in the door and they didn't even check my service records. That is because they are hard pressed to void the warranty of the car door based on you changing the engine oil outside. You try going back to them to solve a leaking radiator or timing belt issue...see if they find it an issue with you not going back for agent servicing... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a car, pai either repair or sell. Don't worry so much. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darviathan 2nd Gear August 12, 2022 Share August 12, 2022 I think mileage low service once a year within 15k mileage should be ok as Conti servicing is somewhere there which seems to be fine for all cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic August 12, 2022 Share August 12, 2022 (edited) Hmm I did a major servicing at 60k km. Changed spark plugs. Transmission fluid etc. Then due to covid and also bit bo chup about servicing, i did only 2 servicings since then and the only reason I went for one the last time was cos the battery died and I went to workshop thinking something was spoilt. Albeit with the recent flat tyre, I did change my front brake pads. Car is 7+ years old. I think I may just service once more next year before scrapping in 2025 January. I doubt will have any issues. Or if anything, it's not what preventive maintenance would have helped with. My wife's car has been serviced twice over last 4 years. Driven maybe 4-5 days a week. Sometimes more sometimes less. I'm planning to keep it for 20 years. But haha will drag out the service interval also. Edited August 12, 2022 by Lala81 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovemyride 4th Gear August 12, 2022 Share August 12, 2022 If you sign package at agent, check when is the expiry. The last I did at TEK Mazda, was there for 30k and prepaid for 40k. I had one year to send in for 40k. Now I service outside, since the cost isn't so high, I stick to the 6 months schedule. Sometimes I'll stretch to 7 or 8 months if busy. I do a lot of city driving and short trips too, mileage is not high but I think the car gets stressed more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most expensive one is most likely major servicing. Any break down on what these package include? If say you go for 120,000km servicing package when you are actually 150,000km...how does it work? They still go ahead without question ask? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
