How Long Does Car Servicing Take?
When it comes to car servicing, one of the most common questions people ask is how long it takes for their vehicle to be serviced. The truth is that the time it takes to service a car at Krause Autos depends on several factors, including the type of service, the condition of your car, and the availability of our mechanics.
Full Vehicle Service: Typically, full car service at Krause Autos can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. This includes a comprehensive check of your car’s major components, such as the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension.
Interim Service: An interim service, which is recommended every six months if monthly mileage exceeds 2,000 miles, can take around 1 or 2 hours.
However, it’s important to note that the actual time it takes to service your car may vary depending on the specific requirements of your vehicle. If there are any issues that need to be addressed during the service, it may take longer than expected.
How Often Should I Service My Car?
The service schedule for your vehicle will depend on the manufacturer and also the car’s mileage and age.
Most modern cars will have a service indicator to remind you when your service is due. This is likely to take into account the time and mileage since your last service.
Full details of your car’s recommended service schedule can be found in the handbook but, at the very least, we recommend, we recommend before booking in your car service near you:
-
An interim service every 6 months if you drive more than 2,000 miles a month.
-
A full service every 12,000 miles or annually.
What is an Interim Service?
An interim service covers 39 main action points including 4 changes and 4 top-ups.
Changes include engine oil, oil filter and wheel nut torque (depending on the vehicle’s mileage and manufacturer specification).

When you book a service through Krause Autos our technicians will let you know if they find anything else that needs your attention and outline your options for potential repairs.
