Whether you drive a rugged Defender or a luxury Range Rover Sport, keeping up with your Land Rover’s service intervals is one of the best ways to maintain performance, safety, and long-term value. In this guide, we’ll walk through the recommended service schedules for the most popular Land Rover models in Australia, what each service includes, and why following the manufacturer’s service intervals is so important.
Why Do Land Rover Service Intervals Matter?
Land Rovers are precision-built vehicles designed for both on- and off-road performance. But to keep them running at their best, they require regular, scheduled maintenance. Staying on top of your service intervals helps to:
- Protect engine and transmission health
- Ensure fluids and filters are maintained properly
- Keep brakes, suspension, and safety systems working as they should
- Catch early warning signs before they turn into expensive repairs
- Maintain your new car warranty (if applicable)
- Support resale value with a full service history
At Bosch Service Brisbane, we follow manufacturer guidelines and use OEM-quality parts and fluids—giving you dealership-level servicing at independent prices.
