How to Know When Your Car Needs a Major Service in Dubai
In Dubai, where temperatures soar and traffic never stops, your car works harder than you think. While many car owners remember to change their oil or check tire pressure, major service intervals are often overlooked — until a warning light appears or performance drops. At Spectrum German Auto Care, we help you understand the right time for a major car service, so your vehicle stays reliable, efficient, and safe on the road.
Every car requires regular servicing, but a major service is far more comprehensive than routine maintenance. It involves in-depth inspection, replacement, and calibration of essential components to keep your car performing at its best.
For German cars, this service is particularly important because they are engineered with high precision and rely heavily on accurate tuning and advanced electronics.
Typically, a major service should be done every 40,000 to 60,000 km (or every 2 years), but for Dubai’s tough driving conditions, it’s smart to schedule it a bit earlier — around 35,000 km — to prevent early wear.
What Is a Major Service?
A major service is a complete check-up of your car’s key systems and components. It’s more detailed than a regular oil change or minor service and is typically recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, depending on your car’s make and model.Dubai’s roads are smooth, but the climate and traffic conditions are not friendly to vehicles. The combination of intense heat, humidity, and desert dust puts extra pressure on your engine, fluids, and electrical systems.
During a major service, our certified technicians inspect and replace crucial parts such as:
Engine oil and filters
Air, fuel, and cabin filters
Brake pads and fluid
Spark plugs and ignition system
Transmission fluid
Coolant and AC system
Belts, hoses, and suspension components
For German cars like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Porsche, every detail matters — and that’s where Spectrum German Auto Care delivers precision service.
Signs That Your Car Needs a Major Service
Ignoring your car’s warning signs can lead to costly repairs later. Look out for these symptoms:
Warning lights on your dashboard
Increased fuel consumption
Jerky gear shifts or poor acceleration
AC not cooling properly
Unusual noises or vibrations
Brakes feel weak or spongy
If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule a major service before the issue becomes serious.
Why Major Service Is So Important in Dubai
Dubai’s environment can be tough on vehicles — the extreme heat, sand, and humidity accelerate wear and tear. For German cars built with high-precision engineering, even a small issue like clogged filters or old coolant can impact performance.

Fuel-efficient and reliable
Ready for long drives without worries
