The basic car service checklist includes engine service like oil and filter replacement, which also covers top-ups like windscreen additive, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid. For the engine, the general oil leaks, antifreeze strength, and the timing belt condition are checked and advised upon. The brake pads are examined for any major wear and tear, the steering rack gaiters and exhaust condition are also serviced. The clutch fluid level and oil leaks are also scrutinised.
Apart from the above-mentioned points, the car external lights, external lights, horn, wipers, and washers are also checked.
