Vehicle Service FAQs

Straight answers regarding our minor car service, major car service, engine rebuilding, and pricing in Brentwood Park, East Rand.

What is included in an AV8 Major Car Service?

+
An AV8 Major Car Service is our most comprehensive maintenance package. It covers full synthetic engine oil renewal, new oil filter, spark plugs replacement, new engine air filter, new cabin pollen filter, fuel filter check/replacement, brake fluid moisture test, coolant flush, diagnostic computer fault scan, and 3D computerised laser wheel alignment.

How often should I book a Minor Car Service versus a Major Car Service?

+
In South African driving conditions (dust, stop-and-go traffic, high summer temperatures), we recommend booking a Minor Car Service every 10,000 km to 15,000 km (or every 6 months). A Major Car Service is recommended every 30,000 km to 45,000 km (or every 24 months) to ensure consumable filters, plugs, and fluids do not cause internal engine degradation.

Can I get an immediate price estimate for a car service?

+
Yes. Call our workshop desk on 082 459 4463 with your vehicle make, model, and year, or use our contact form. We provide fixed, transparent estimates before commencing any work.

Do you service diesel bakkies and commercial delivery vehicles?

+
Yes, our workshop specialises in common-rail diesel commercial bakkies including Toyota Hilux (GD-6), Ford Ranger (TDCi), Isuzu D-Max, and Nissan NP200. We diagnose and recondition diesel injectors, high-pressure fuel pumps, EGR systems, and turbos.
