What is more important and relevant in car service: Time vs Kilometer driven? I just schedule my Range Rover service with Al Tayer and they said I need to get the major service of 120k kms, while the car is only driven 68,000 kms. Their logic is time-based vs km - whichever comes first. They gave me this logic last time too when I sent the car for service and they carried out 108k service when the car was 58,000 kms driven. I somehow felt uncomfortable but went with the flow to not to spoil the service history, which has been regularly maintained by the previous owner. This time it's quite over the top with major service estimate, where they say they have to change rear diff oil and transfer box oil every 5 years or 120k kms. Is it really required to change rear diff and transfer box oil at 68k kms with 5 years of life.....? If you say Kilometer driven is prime then why all car manufacturer has this in their maintenance schedule, let alone UAE but everyone uses the same approach globally. Please explain why......?

I am using my friends Honda city since last month as she is on annual leave and I feel that car tire is acting funny as many time if I am on empty road and if I leave the steering for few seconds car start moving toward left to the high speed lane. Before it was not like this and now its happening every time I leave the steering for even half a second. I called my friend and she said see if service is due may be its because of that. My question to you car gurus is: weather dealer change the tire also in the car service or not....? If not I will wait for her to come and diagnose the issue by herself may be I am over reacting as I am not the owner and getting paranoid for no reason.

I was reading in yesterday's Gulf news that ministry of economy or some govt body (can't rem correctly) is coming up with new law for standardizing all car dealers to follow 10,000 kms car service in UAE. Again read some bashing and polls in today newspaper where experts aren't supporting this new move. http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/transport/how-often-do-you-service-your-car-1.1583842 http://gulfnews.com/your-say/readers-service-cars-every-5-000km-1.1583808 Any idea what is the actual reason behind this thinking and why would anybody want to impose the law on car servicing that should be recommended by car manufacturer and not anyone else. Is there any major issue happen in past, that triggered this thought process or something else I missed.....?
