Do you know the difference between a minor and a major service? The main difference between minor and major vehicle repairs is the time and number of parts required to complete a given schedule of maintenance, but there is much more to consider. Every vehicle’s minor & major service is different and is required at different schedules, so it’s best to always consult the owner’s manual and service booklet.
Minor Service (Service A)
The minor service usually includes an inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle, replacement of the engine oil and lubrication, and rotation of the tyres by a factory-trained professional technician. Often, it is part of the logbook or referred to as basic or general service.
Generally, a minor service is necessary every 10,000 kilometers or every year – though it really depends on the vehicle, the manufacturer’s requirements, and the engine type.

- Oil & oil filter replacement service

Major Service (Service B)
A major part of the service is replacing engine, brake, steering, transmission and differential oils, which are important in ensuring your vehicle continues to run smoothly. Additionally, other important parts of your engine will be checked and replaced such as spark plugs, cabin & fuel filters, timing belts, brake pads, brake discs, tire condition, etc to ensure they run optimally.
The major service depends on your manufacturer requirements, and engine type. Your manufacturer will clearly indicate when these services should be performed in the service booklet.
