Only covered 2,500 miles since August 2023.

Soon be two years.

I am not sure if to have it done.

Guy Salmon JLR are a rip off
I have had a bad experience with my Local Specialist
My Local RAC Garage I use for fleet are not the best.

Are was considering Halfords

Halfrauds

That a Recommendation ?

I wouldn't wish those spanner monkeys on my worst enemy

I would get a service, new cars seem to be 2 yearly service but mine are serviced annually regardless of the actual mileage.

The oil has been sitting around so a quick replacement wont do any harm  2011 L322 Autobography - a lot of bells and some of the whistles...owner with no idea!

Thanks for your replies

There is a independent in Macclesfield I may try

My other car is an Aston, which is a bit of a garage queen, only covered 1000 miles since it's last service in 2022, it's going in for an MOT to a specialist with a sympathetic service, in other words a general check of the condition of the oils an lubricants, they changed everything including the brake fluid last time, so don't really want another £2K bill, but they will be fixing the air-conditioning this time so who knows.
What I mean to say is they can check the coolant strength, and maybe the condition of the oils, and filters.

Oil is cheap. Engines aren't

At least have an oil and filter change

And don't use any fast fit places

All service schedules have a time element as well as milage - amazing how many ingnore the "whichever comes first" part of the schedule. Although manufacturers have consistently tried to extend the time, many have caught a cold as something unexpected happens and bites back on warranty claims. They also consider the "lifetime" of a car which is most often taken to be 10 years or 100k miles. If something will probably last that long it will be deemed a non service item and "sealed for life". But ignoring all that tosh and doing regular fluid/filter changes at least annually will see cars lasting 250k miles or more. Of course if you're only keeping the thing a couple of years there's a strong financial incentive not to bother and let the next owner deal with the consequences. Does nothing for your social conscience/responsibility, but definitely cheaper.

I keep my stuff a long time - current fleet 35 years/ 24 years/ 22 years/ 7 years/ 4.5 years - and similarly with the groundcare machines. IMO regular maintenance has been key to their longevity and my satisfaction in have good working stuff, not wrecks. Some "services" (maybe just oil/filter change and checks) have been within low 00's of miles of the previous one a year before. But we all make different choices. Mike - MPx
