What gets checked when a car is serviced?

Question:


Answers:

Are Isuzu Rodeo 96 and Isuzu Rodeo 98 engines the same?

I am afraid it depends on the car, and whether it has a full service or an interim service.
Basically they will check the levels and maybe change the fluids, cam belt, plugs, emissions, tyres, brake wear, they may even lubricate the door catches and hinges.
They will also report on other faults outside of the service and recommend any future repairs.
Read your hand book that will tell you, or if you have not got one of those get a Haynes manual

My car feels like it's skipping. Like it's not catching a gear properly.?

It all depends on where you have it serviced. I work at a dealership and I know that our mechanics check over the entire vehicle (including fluids, tires, suspension, belts, hoses, engine compartment, and normally scan the car's computer for trouble codes). Other small shops and Jiffy Lube type places check the basics: tires, belts, fluids but also they try to upsell a lot of unnecessary repairs. The best place to have a car serviced is with someone you know and trust or a dealer.
