A few years ago, when cars didn't self monitor themselves, have on board computers and were less reliable, it use be every year...nowadays it appears to be every 6 months...probably just to check all the sensors, monitors and computers are working properly...its a whole new growth industry with a lot of money involved

my husband does that a few times a year.

Just follow the log book

I know our previous vehicle was a lemon truck we had to keep taking it back for the same problem 5 times in 8 months. after that my husband made the man give us a newer vehicle

Depends on the condition of the car.

Three times a year minimum. Sometimes fourEdited 19-Oct-20 01:16am

have a car hope it douse not brake trying to save for anther one

Maybe 3, when it needs it, I go

Whenever I can save money. So about every 5 years

Once a year

Service every 6 months and sometimes even 3 months even. A save save on the pocket when maintence of the vehicle.

Dont have a car

develop vision issues in my pre-teen years - never learned to drive - never owned a car - therefore, never had car maintenance issues

My husband is a retired mechanic so doe's it all himself

Hardly ever drive, hardly ever service unless we are driving a long distance.

I have mine done every 10,000 klms. It depends how much you drive, we drive around 2000klms every month (usually). This year is the first time we have had the car serviced on time rather than Klms.

every six months

Once a year

I only wash my car. Any other stuff is garage work. Modern cars are too technical to touch. Once you could change spark plugs yourself but not now.

Twice a year.

about every 6 months depending where i go

0nce a year when i do 10000 kilomaters

I do 99% of my car maintenance so it depends how much I drive usually 10,000k's for some cars and 5,000's for other's

Dont have a car

2 a year

I have no idea, my butler takes of that sort of thingEdited 19-Oct-20 10:16am

You are being conned

depends how old your car is., alternatively, how many ks you are stacking up. I have a shopping "trolley" that does 5000 k per year, serviced once a year, campervan 6000k per year, serviced once every 2 years...

twice a year unless something goes wrong

I service my own car every 5000 Kms.

When I was young I fixed my own dunnga but now my car tells me when it’s time for service, get coffee, going too fast , going wrong way......shit I don’t remember marrying my car....lol

i think that is a con

Always get our car serviced every 6 months, the modern cars it is usually every 15,000 kms. Ours is a camper van, for holidays and everyday use, that way we only have to run one vehicle. Now hubby is on the pension, Rego is free, only pay for the CTP and insurance, saves us a fortune when we holiday, mostly free camp, as we have installed solar panels, otherwise there would be no holidays at all.We have a family friend that is a mechanic so we save heaps on services.

I have regular checks by the service book, always at the car maker of whatever car I have. Usually a Mitsubishi car and about twice a year but think 3 times or more is too much but it depends on how much you use it..But yes I think some places do try and put it over females, so you need to be wary.

only when its due

I don't have a car...

Only when the service is due

With the BMW and the Benz, every 10,000; with the old Jeep, when it starts running rough ..... fortunately, hubby is pretty handy with the tools and have literally saved us thousands by doing most of the mechanics himself and sourcing items from overseas ........... Edited 19-Oct-20 12:56pm

If you don't look after it ,it won't look after you. Its generally the second biggest purchase for most people, look after it!!

Depends on how far it gets driven. I know people who drive a couple of hundred thousand KMs per year and they get it serviced 4 or 5 times at least where as others who don't drive much like one person who had 150.0 on the trip meter after a year didn't need to get a service at all but they did need to get the guys out to start it and replace the dead battery and stale fuel because it wasn't started enough or used anywhere near enough.

I do mine at least once a year.

I don't have a car or a license

The car gets serviced more than I do. Generally with the car, it's every 10,000kms. Depending on the quality of the vehicle, sometimes every 20k is fine. But it's important if you want to run into less issues, to have it serviced regularly.Edited 19-Oct-20 14:31pm

I get my car serviced at the recommended intervals.

I get my car service every 6 months, fixed price, so that I can keep the 7 year warranty

When i got an email.

My car is about 13 yrs old and I get it done twice per year. I think 3 times is a bit unnecessary but also leaving it a whole year .......... not sure I would want to do that either.

I think yearly is recommended which we try and do by sometimes go over. Of course is something requires fixing my go twice a year and get it done as finances permit, without being a risk of course. Otherwise the car has a little holiday in the carport.

I get mine done by the odometer - if the required kilometres travelled come up yearly or 6 monthly so be it!

I have mine done twice a year

One a year is fine unless you are doing a lot of miles.

Every 12 months is all you need as long as everything running fine

Twice a year, but this year once because I have travelled a lot less

you should go by your manual,can't go wrong then

Depends on the age of the car and the mileage each year - older cars may need six months checks in my experience.

I do mine depending on mileage. Don't do very much annually so probably every 18 months.

Once a year WOF and service

I had a Suzuki SX4 for 12 years done nearly 300KM so over the last 4 years I would service my car every 6 months or 7.5kM to ensure that everything was working well,it worked very well as I didn’t have any mechanical issues,look after your investment

at least twice a year and every time it gets a little sluggish, every time Repco sends us the reminder for a timing belt check

Whenever the hubby books it in

It depends on how you use your car, if you drive less than 5000 km a year than one service will do

The experts say to follow the manufacturer's service schedule - this includes both kms traveled and time. Realistically, this is the best way. How you drive obviously has an effect but the manufacturer's schedule covers this pretty well. Synthetic oils have a much greater life than straight mineral oil so this is another factor.

every 10000km as the logbook says

I do it once a year to help keep the car healthy and able to last longer.

Go once a year - never have the mileage up to have to do more than that.

twice a year

Two sometimes three I do very little kilometers a year but find that the car picks up dust do a device is the best thin keep my cst in great rubbed

The car can need servicing, on the amount of kilometeres and wear and tear
