i will admit i don't know much about cars and haven't ever had a service even though its been a few years since owning my brand new bought car. however in my defence, the mileage is very low (about 12,000 i think)
can someone please explain the differences between full and major service, there doesnt seem to be much difference going off the official halfords website comparison, so i dont understand why there is a £50 difference?
someone please shed some light, thanks

also is there much of a difference going for a local independent place vs somewhere like halfords/ kwik-fit?

And most mechanics are slimy creatures but it has always been the general consensus to stay away from KwikFit as they’re normally incompetent or invent problems where they don’t actually exist just to squeeze some extra money out of you. Ask around or look online for a good independent garage as they’re usually more experienced and more honest than KwikFit.

The difference is the brake fluid change. If you're at the right interval, you should have this changed anyway.

Why on earth haven't you had it serviced?

You've lost your warranty there.

..because I have barely used it (lived in a uni city where its easier not to drive, so mostly only drove to and from home and while at home during uni holidays. but you're right i should still have had it serviced! I guess I wasn't really aware of it.. I just knew I had to do an annual MOT.

what do you mean? how long does a warranty last anyway?

Even past warranty expiry, there's goodwill involved if something goes wrong, but not if you haven't had it serviced! Terrible for resale value too...
