The manual is the interval. Centres that call every few thousand kilometres are selling visits. Relatim quotes what is due on this odometer now. Relatim does not replace the owner’s manual and is not an authorised OEM centre.
Cars: km or months, whichever comes first
Many petrol manuals sit around 10,000 km or one year. Severe use — short trips, dust, hills — can pull oil sooner. That is a named condition, not a fake package. Turbo, DCT and diesel fuel filters have their own lines. Official schedule, oil 2026.
Bikes and scooters
Commuter oil is often 3,000–6,000 km. Chains, belts, rollers and pads are not automatic on every visit. Royal Enfield first 500 km stays at the dealer. Bike 2026, bike scams.
Wear items are not “service”
Pads, tyres, a 12V, AC gas — they fail on their own calendar. Quote them when they are due. Brake pads 2026, battery 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my car in India?
Follow the owner’s manual: often 10,000 km or one year for many petrol cars, sooner if the book says severe use. Relatim quotes what is due now, not a call every few thousand kilometres.
Bikes and scooters?
Commuter bikes are often 3,000–6,000 km for oil. Belts, chains and pads have their own life. Do not buy them on every visit.
Dust and traffic change the interval?
Filters and oil can dirty sooner in NCR dust or 4 km office runs. That is a named inspection, not a fake shorter package.
What does Relatim charge?
