Factors That Can Affect the Service Interval
There are several factors that can affect how often you need to get your car serviced.
The first and most important for most of our clients is how hard the car is being driven.
If you are taking your car to track days, racing events or doing a lot of spirited driving, it is a good idea to get the service done more often, especially the transmission.
Another factor is if you are doing very long trips, or driving a very consistent speeds and not loading up the engine often. Despite what most people think, this isn’t actually ideal for the engine, and as such, more regular servicing could be required in these situations.
