When asking your chosen garage to service your car, it's important that you establish what the service includes.
Some garages will only change your oil filter, others will carry out a full service. A good garage will follow a service checklist and give you a copy of that completed checklist as confirmation of a job well done. Good garage scheme members carry out your service incorporating the Industry Standard Service Checklist.
Most modern cars only need a service once a year, but older cars require a service once every six months. The manufacturer's service hand book will set what is best for your car. The type of service you need will also be affected by how you use your car. For example, lots of short journeys where the engine does not have a chance to warm up properly will probably mean more frequent oil and filter changes.
Ask to speak to a mechanic or technician about the problem. Explain the problem in as much detail as you can. If you can, include when the problem occurs, for example, only when engine is cold, or after the vehicle has been standing for a while.

Including the Advanced Formula Motor Flush, specifically formulated to combat modern motoring issues caused by the adverse affect of extended oil drain periods.
During the long interval between oil drains, crankcase acids are produced. If left within the system when the oil is changed, these acids immediately go to work breaking down the new oil leading to the creation of lacquers and varnishes which are deposited on the oil system components such as Hydraulic Valve Lifters, Variable Valve Timing Systems and Piston Rings. These components work within very tight tolerances and any sticking due to the deposits in the oil system results in inefficient operation of the system and poor driveability.
Same as the Silver service but includes a full engine diagnostic test
