What is an Interim Service?

An Interim Service is a routine car inspection that you are advised to arrange every six months (biannually) to help keep your vehicle running smoothly. It looks at 32 components, including tyre tread depth and the brake system, and features a number of vital checks. This highlights and helps you avoid potential issues, keeping your car in good condition and letting you avoid expensive repairs.

Arguably, the most important part of an Interim Service is having the oil changed. Using an oil of the correct grade and specification of quality for your vehicle helps prevent long-lasting and expensive engine damage. It also maintains performance and ensures that emissions are kept to a minimum. That’s why ATS Euromaster uses premium Mobil oil*. 

ATS Euromaster recommends our Interim Service annually for vehicles driving less than 8,000 miles a year.

*Subject to Mobil Oil making a suitable specification oil.  Where Mobil Super or Mobil 1 oil is not available, an alternative suitable specification oil will be used.

What's the difference between an Interim and a Full Car Service?

The key difference between an Interim Service and a Full Service is that cars that are used for shorter distances usually require an Interim Service, while cars that travel longer distances typically need a Full Service. This is because an Interim check is less thorough than a Full check, covering fewer checkpoints in the vehicle.

So, whether you need a full or interim service generally depends on your vehicle usage. For more in-depth information on what is best for your vehicle, read our blog on the difference between an Interim and Full Service. 

What are the different types of car services?

There are three main car service types: Interim, Full and Major Service. Each service carries out different checks on your vehicle depending on your vehicle's needs. 
For more information, you can read our blog: What is a car service?

How often should you have an interim service?

An Interim Service is usually required every six months, dependant on how many miles you've driven. A Full Service, also known as an annual service, should be carried out every year. A Major Service is advised every two years and is the most thorough check.

Which Mobil oil should I select with my service?

High-quality, fresh engine oil helps to make sure that important components in your engine can move freely. Old oil can restrict the movement of these parts and over time damage can occur. At ATS Euromaster, we use Mobil oil, due to its superior quality.
