Service the car? What service do I need?

This differs a lot from one engine/car model to another! but also fuel, driving style, quality of previous spare parts and much more can affect intervals when certain components, filters etc. need to be replaced with new ones.

*Are you curious about more exactly what your car needs & when? We recommend that you look through the car's service/instruction manual*
