How often should I service my car?

It depends on the manufacturer, but generally every 10,000-15,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Your car’s handbook has the specific schedule. In Dénia, with lots of urban driving, we recommend following the shorter intervals.

What oil do you use for oil changes in Dénia?

We use quality oils that meet your manufacturer’s exact specifications (5W30, 5W40, etc.). Premium brands like Castrol, Mobil, Shell or equivalent. The right oil is fundamental for engine life.

Will I lose my warranty if I don’t service at the dealer?

No. Under European regulations, you can have your car serviced at any professional garage without losing your warranty, as long as manufacturer specifications are followed. At our Dénia garage we follow them to the letter and record everything.

How much does an oil and filter change cost in Dénia?

The price varies depending on your vehicle and the type of oil needed. We provide a fixed, no-obligation quote. Call us on +34 652 12 90 76 or visit our Dénia garage for your free quote.

What happens if I exceed the recommended service interval?

Old oil loses its properties and can damage the engine. Worn parts can fail. It’s better to service on time to avoid much more expensive repairs. If you’ve gone over, bring it to our Dénia garage as soon as possible.
