Car Service advice

[lozkin]

Hi guys, my first post - apologies if its in the wrong place :-)

I bought my first car in March this year - a 2008 Astra. It had 57k on the clock, and was MOT'd and serviced by the dealer when I bought it. My question is, I have just clocked 60k after about 5 months of owning the car, and wondered whether I needed to get it serviced again, as I can see it recommends getting a main service at 20k intervals?

Thanks in advance....

if it helps it had an interim service at 10k, a main service at 30k, and an interim at 57k (when I bought it)

your book should tell you the next one where it is to be stamped. Its typically approx 10k. But it depends on the car and engine.

I would say a good rule of thumb is every year/12,000 miles, whichever is first. Of course, some cars can happily go longer without (German long life services as an example), and some cars need servicing way before (Mitsi Evo @ 4500 mile intervals). As mentioned, your handbook will tell you your intervals - if you haven't got it, then use this link:

3,000 miles in 5 months on a modern car, no it won't need servicing yet, but please do the standard fluid checks.
