My 2013 Subaru Forester has been serviced at the dealership until this year.
I missed the January 6 monthly service, first one I've missed for it.
Rego is due soon, so will have it inspected and serviced. Due to working from home, have thought about going to a local mechanic for the first time instead of going to the dealership which is near work.
Dumb questions:
Would an independent mechanic just naturally follow the logbook service schedule? Or would the default be a minor service, and you have to specifically ask for a logbook service?
Would I need to find out what's expected for the appropriate service in the logbook and request that list of items to be done?
Given I missed the half yearly service, I presume I should get both schedules done. How would that be reflected in the logbook? I presume it will be one stamp.
Do people generally keep to the 6 monthly service schedule for their cars forever? Or do they switch to yearly after a certain age?
Going to independent mechanic, they offer the different services - major, minor, log book services.
It depends on your needs.
