Interim Service vs Full Service: Understanding the Difference

Interim Service: An interim service is designed for the high-mileage driver who might cover more than 20,000 miles a year. It is recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. This type of service is essential for maintaining the basic functions of your vehicle and ensuring it remains safe to drive between annual services.

During an interim service at Anker Service Station, we will:

  • Change the engine oil and oil filter
  • Check and top up all essential fluids (brake fluid, antifreeze coolant, windscreen washer fluid, power steering fluid)
  • Inspect the condition of the tyres, brakes, steering, and suspension
  • Check the lights, windscreen wipers, and washers
  • Inspect the exhaust system and emissions
  • Check for any leaks or other potential issues
