• How often should I get my car serviced?

The frequency of car servicing depends on several factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, as well as how often you drive. However, a good rule of thumb is to get your car serviced every 12,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.

In some cases, you may need more frequent services, especially if:

• You drive long distances or in harsh conditions.

• You’re approaching a significant milestone (e.g., 100,000 km, 150,000 km).

• Your vehicle shows signs of wear and tear such as poor fuel efficiency, unusual sounds, or dashboard warning lights.

Our team at Bellarine Auto Service recommends scheduling a logbook service as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Regular servicing helps avoid expensive repairs and ensures your car stays reliable for years to come.
