At Meta Mechanics, we believe that understanding car servicing is essential for every vehicle owner. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the importance of car servicing, the types of services available, what each service typically includes, and how often you should get your vehicle checked.
Why is Car Servicing Important?
Regular car servicing is vital to keep your vehicle performing at its best. It improves fuel efficiency, handling, and overall reliability. Routine check-ups also help detect potential issues early—before they turn into costly repairs. Plus, maintaining a full service history increases the resale value of your car, giving future buyers confidence in your vehicle’s condition.
Types of Car Services Offered by Meta Mechanics
Interim Service
This is a basic service recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles. It includes an engine oil change, a new oil filter, and about 50 essential checks. It’s great for catching minor issues between major services.
Full Service
Performed annually or every 12,000 miles, this includes a 77-point inspection, oil and filter changes, brake checks, and inspections of over 50 critical components. It may also involve changing spark plugs, filters, and checking suspension and wheel alignment.
Manufacturer Service
For higher-end or older vehicles, a manufacturer service follows the original brand’s maintenance guidelines. At Meta Mechanics, we use manufacturer-approved parts and methods to ensure quality and compliance.
Major Service
This is a comprehensive check that goes beyond a full service. It’s typically done when the vehicle hits a significant mileage milestone or needs in-depth maintenance.

How Often Should You Service Your Car?
Service frequency depends on your car’s age, mileage, and manufacturer’s guidelines. Generally, a service is recommended once a year or every 12,000 miles—whichever comes first. Some modern vehicles allow for extended intervals, but always refer to your owner’s manual for specifics. If you hear strange noises, see dashboard warnings, or notice performance drops, don’t wait—get it checked right away.

What Does a Car Service Cost?
Costs can vary based on the service type, vehicle make, and location. A full service at Meta Mechanics generally starts around 400 AED, though this may change if your vehicle needs additional parts or labor. Investing in regular service helps prevent major issues down the line and ensures your car retains more value over time.
