Servicing
What’s Included in a Minor Service? Bosch Car Service
A minor service covers essential routine maintenance between major-service intervals, helping the engine remain lubricated while technicians check key safety and reliability items.
What is normally included
A minor service usually focuses on engine oil, the oil filter and a practical inspection of the vehicle. Requirements differ between makes and models, so the manufacturer service schedule remains the correct starting point.
- Correct-grade engine oil and a new oil filter
- Fluid-level, visible-leak and cooling-system checks
- Basic brake, tyre, light and wiper inspection
- Battery condition and general under-bonnet checks
- Service-indicator reset where applicable
Minor service versus major service
A minor service does not replace a major service when deeper scheduled maintenance is due. A major service normally includes more replacement items and more extensive checks. Following the correct interval helps protect the vehicle’s reliability and service history.
