Opel Service inspection
You’ll benefit from expert care by fully trained technicians, genuine Opel parts, and free checks for safety enhancements, recalls and software upgrades. You’ll also get an Opel stamp in your service book.
Infrequent oil changes or using the wrong type of oil increase CO2 emissions, as well as shortening the life expectancy of your engine. Your Opel Retailer use the most fuel-efficient oil suitable for your vehicle to improve fuel economy. Furthermore, the tyre pressure gauges used by Opel are extremely accurate and guarantee your tyre pressures are set correctly. Too low tyre pressure reduces fuel efficiency and increases the costs of your fuel consumption.
During your scheduled service we will check the condition of the air filter to ensure it is functioning correctly. Blocked filters cause the engine to work harder and therefore increase CO2 emissions.
Like any vehicle, your Opel needs servicing regularly to keep it in the best condition and to help maintain its value. Only an Opel authorized repairer knows your vehicle’s technology best and is equipped with specific tools and the state-of-the-art computerized diagnostic equipment to ensure high quality repair for a fair price.
We recommend that cars are serviced every year or 30,000 kilometers.
Please check your owners’ manual to confirm exactly what your Opel needs.

While Opel Assistance aims to bring you peace-of-mind motoring, it only covers manufacturer-based or mechanical faults on your vehicle.
Opel Assistance is vehicle-based, so it covers anyone driving your Opel with your permission. Petrol and Diesel Opels are automatically covered for the duration of your standard warranty period, starting from your vehicle's original registration date, whilst Electric and Hybrid models get 8 years of cover if registered before the 31st December 2023. Electric and Hybrid models registered after the 1st January 2024 get 3 years or 100,000KM roadside assistance coverage.
If you sell your vehicle within the period of cover, the new owner can take advantage of any unexpired free Opel Assistance cover, which will apply until the vehicle's warranty expires.
If your vehicle breaks down at home, we will bring our roadside assistance service to your doorstep. If your vehicle can't be repaired, RAC Ltd will transport your vehicle to the nearest Opel Authorised Repairer.
