What's included in a full car service in Spain?

Full vs interim service

Interim service: Basic checks and replacements, usually due every 6 months or 10,000 km.

Full service: Comprehensive overhaul covering everything in an interim service, plus deeper inspections and replacements. Usually due annually or every 20,000 km.

What's included in a full service?

  • Oil and filter change (synthetic or semi-synthetic, your choice)
  • Air filter replacement
  • Cabin air filter check/replacement
  • Coolant and brake fluid check
  • Brake pad and rotor inspection
  • Suspension and steering check
  • Battery health assessment
  • Lights and wiper blade check
  • Fuel filter inspection
  • Computer diagnostic scan

Spanish servicing standards

Spain doesn't mandate specific service intervals like some EU countries, but manufacturers' recommendations are the standard. Most cars are serviced annually or based on distance — whichever comes first.

Cost and timing

A full service typically costs €150–€300 depending on your vehicle and parts availability. Allow 2–3 hours for the work. We offer a fully-managed service where we collect your car, complete the service, and return it ready to drive.

Why stay on schedule?

Regular servicing keeps your car reliable, maintains resale value, and ensures warranty compliance if your vehicle is still under guarantee.
