What is an Interim Car Service?
An interim car service is a routine check carried out every six months or around 6,000 miles. At Malling Repair Service in Maidstone, we provide expert servicing to keep your vehicle safe, reliable, and running smoothly between full services. This option is ideal for drivers who rely on their car daily for work, school runs, or long journeys.
During an interim service, our certified mechanics check key components, replace the engine oil and filter, top up essential fluids, and carry out safety inspections. This helps improve fuel efficiency, extend the life of your car, and prevent small issues from turning into costly repairs.
By choosing Malling Repair Service, you get professional care from a trusted local garage in Maidstone. Same-day servicing is often available, so you can get back on the road with peace of mind.
What’s Included in Our Interim Service?

Oil & Filter Change – Fresh oil minimizes friction in your engine and reduces its wear and tear.
Brake Check – We inspect the conditions of your brake pads, discs, and brake fluid level to ensure your safety.

How Often Should You Get an Interim Service?
You should get a car serviced on an interim basis after every six months or 6000 miles, whichever occurs first if you:
- Drive in urban areas with heavy traffic regularly.
- Make short trips that don’t allow full engine temperature to be reached.
- Drive long distances very often.
- Drive a vehicle with high mileage or an older one.
Regular servicing plays a vital role in preventing any unexpected breakdown, improving fuel efficiency, and increasing the lifespan of your vehicle.
