The Most Trusted Mobile Major Service

A major service is the thorough one. It covers everything in a minor service and adds the items that run on longer intervals, the filters that quietly choke an engine when neglected, spark plugs where they fall due, and a proper inspection of the brakes and suspension rather than a glance. Michanic carries out major services at your home or office, so a job that would tie up your car for a day at a workshop happens where it is parked.

Why Choose Our Mobile Major Service Services?

  1. Everything in One Visit:
    Oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter and fuel filter where fitted, plus spark plugs when they are due. No return trip for the items a minor service leaves out.
  2. Brakes Properly Inspected:
    Pad thickness is measured and discs checked for scoring and lipping rather than judged through a wheel. That is the difference between finding worn pads and finding pads and discs.
  3. Suspension and Steering Checked:
    Ball joints, bushes, shock absorbers and steering components are inspected for play and leaks, which is what catches an advisory before it becomes a failure.
  4. Your Time Stays Yours:
    A major service is the longest routine job a car needs. Having it done at your home or office is where a mobile service saves the most.

Why We are the Best Choice for Mobile Major Service

  • Manufacturer Specifications:
    Oil grade, plug type and filter part numbers are matched to your vehicle. Approvals matter, particularly on engines with a particulate filter or a turbocharger.
  • Findings Explained:
    You get a clear account of what was checked, what was found and what can safely wait, rather than a list of parts.
  • Experienced Technicians:
    The same mechanics who diagnose faults do the servicing, so unusual wear patterns and early leaks are recognised for what they are.
  • Complete Record:
    The service is documented so your history stays intact for warranty and resale.

A major service is where the slow, invisible wear gets caught. A clogged air filter makes the engine work against a restriction and costs fuel; a neglected fuel filter starves a high pressure pump and can destroy it; plugs left far beyond their interval misfire and put unburnt fuel into the catalytic converter. None of these announce themselves. The brake and suspension inspection matters for a different reason: those are the components you depend on in an emergency, and they wear gradually enough that a driver adapts without noticing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is included in a major service?
    A major service covers the engine oil and oil filter, the air filter, the cabin filter and the fuel filter where one is fitted, spark plugs when due, all fluid levels, and an inspection of brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, belts, hoses and lights.
  • How often is a major service needed?
    Most vehicles call for one every two years or every twenty to thirty thousand kilometres, whichever comes first, with minor services in between. Your service book gives the exact schedule for your model.
  • Is a major service worth it on an older car?
    Usually more so, not less. Older vehicles are past the point where components are new enough to be ignored, and the inspection is where a worn ball joint or a perished hose gets found before it fails.
  • Can a major service be done at my home?
    Yes. It is longer than a minor service but needs no lift for the inspection work we carry out. All that is required is a level place to park with room to work around the car.
  • Will a major service fix a rough running engine?
    Sometimes, because worn plugs and a choked air or fuel filter are common causes of rough running and poor economy. If the fault persists afterwards it needs diagnosis rather than servicing, and we would tell you that rather than replacing more parts.
