What’s Involved With A Vehicle Service?
Sometimes booking your car in for a services is like stepping into the unknown.
The concept of leaving your car with a someone can seem strange and not knowing what’s happening it can also feel a bit worrying as you wonder:
- what is being done,
- what parts are being replaced,
- what exactly should you expect on completion of the servicing?
Types Of Car Servicing, 6 month or 10,000 Km
- minor services (every 10-15 thousand km depending on make and model); and
- major services (every 30-45 thousand kilometres depending on make and model).
Minor car servicing is usually quick (as little as 90 minutes) and generally only includes changing oil and oil filters and a few other minor items.
This is in contrast to a more comprehensive major car service. Servicing varies depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
A quality car service requires the skills of a mechanic who knows all types of vehicles and what they are doing. Our mechanics will ensure that your car continues to run reliably and efficiently. We go right through the whole car and engine.
Once we have inspected your vehicle, we will ring you and let you know if there is any other work to be carried out on your vehicle.

Asking for a written list of what was done afterwards can also help you understand what was done with your vehicle.
Vehicle servicing standards do depend on the manufacturers guidelines. Getting to know your car by reading through your vehicle’s user manual can save you time, money and unnecessary anxiety.
It is also a good idea to understand what your mechanic is recommending should be done with your vehicle and what you suspect or know may need attention.
Ignoring vehicle servicing is not a sensible option because it can lead to more serious and expensive issues later on. Knowing just a little more about how services and vehicles work can help you understand better about the car and maintenance to ensure trouble free motoring.
Once you have come to us for car servicing or repairs you’ll come back and know your car / vehicle have been serviced or repaired properly every time, using TRS’s high level state-of-the-art technology and mechanical workmanship.
