Full & Interim Car Service Checklist

We won’t carry out any extra work without your approval

Formula One Autocentres offer both Full and Interim car services to meet the various needs of motorists.

We recommend that you undertake regular services to ensure your car is functioning as it should. Our Full Service should be completed every 12,000 miles or every 12 months and the Interim Service should be completed every 6,000 miles or every 6 months.

Servicing proactively maintains your car, reducing the risk of a breakdown. Even if it is irregular, servicing can help maintain your car's value so it is important that you keep up to date with your servicing.

All Formula One Autocentres' servicing is carried out by fully trained technicians using only parts that match the quality of the manufacturer's original equipment. We'll stamp your service logbook too, to ensure that your vehicle's service history is maintained.
