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.

  • Oil filter change
  • Interior filter change
  • Battery check
  • Break fluid change
  • Functional inspection (Auto body, Tire, Exhaust)

Why was my airbag recalled?

The recalled Takata airbag inflators can degrade over time and may rupture in a crash, shooting sharp metal fragments that can cause serious injury or death.

 
How do I know if I have a Takata Airbag, and how do I find my VIN number?
You can find your VIN on your registration documents, insurance card, or in these car locations: front of engine block under hood; driver’s side interior dash; front end of frame (older cars); driver’s side door jam (inside).
What caused the problem?
The chemicals in these recalled airbags can deteriorate over time, especially in hot and humid weather. This can cause the airbags to explode, even in minor crashes, leading to serious injury or even death.
What is the remedy for this recall?

All Takata airbag recall repairs are fast, free, and easy. 

 

A certified technician will remove the recalled airbag cannister and replace it with a new one. Opel will cover the cost of parts and labour when this is done at an authorised retailer.
What does it mean if I have a 'Stop Drive' Notice?
If your vehicle is under a Stop Drive Measure, stop driving immediately. Your vehicle is at a greater risk of having an airbag that could rupture in a crash. We will arrange your repair as quickly as possible, and work with you to ensure alternative transportation. In the meantime, please make sure your vehicle is not in use, and that everyone with access to the vehicle is notified. 
Who can I contact if I have questions?
Your Local Opel Dealer is best equipped to advise on any questions you may have. You can find your Local Opel Dealer by clicking the links above.
Do I need to notify the owner of the vehicle before bringing it in for repair?

Anyone can bring a vehicle in for a recall repair without question. No title, proof of ownership, or documentation is required. 

A retailer may ask for your contact information to notify you of any recalls that could be issued for your vehicle in the future. You don’t need to provide any information you aren’t comfortable sharing, but it would allow the dealership to keep you informed so you can maintain the safety of your vehicle.
Can I bring the vehicle to my local mechanic to have the recall carried out?
You need to get your repair completed by an authorised Opel Dealer in order to get the free parts and labour.  
My vehicle is outside warranty, are the repairs still covered?
Yes, Takata recall repairs are free regardless of warranty status. In fact, it is mostly older models of Opel that are affected by this recall.
