Your Van, Ute or 4WD works as hard as you do, whether it’s hauling tools, tackling tough terrains, or covering long distances. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure that your vehicle stays reliable, safe, and efficient for the long term. That’s where Topco’s Major Service comes in—a comprehensive maintenance package designed to address the wear and tear your vehicle endures daily, keeping it in top condition and ready for anything.
In this article, we’ll break down everything included in Topco’s Major Service, from fluid checks and filter replacements to safety inspections and diagnostics. By the end, you’ll understand why regular servicing is an essential part of vehicle ownership and how a Major Service can extend your vehicle’s life while preventing costly repairs.
What is a Major Service?
A Major Service goes beyond basic maintenance. It’s an in-depth inspection and service routine that ensures every critical component of your vehicle is in top shape. At Topco, we understand the specific demands of tradies, fleet operators, and off-road enthusiasts, tailoring our services to keep your vehicle performing at its peak.
What’s Included in the Topco Major Service?
Our Major Service covers all the key components to ensure your vehicle stays in top-notch condition. Here’s what’s included:
Fluid Checks and Replacements
Fluids are essential to the smooth operation of your vehicle. Over time, they degrade and lose effectiveness. As part of our Major Service, we check and/or replace:
- Engine Oil to maintain lubrication and protect your engine from wear.
- Transmission Fluid to maintain smooth gear changes.
- Brake Fluid to ensure reliable braking performance.
- Coolant Fluid for optimal engine temperature and to prevent overheating.
- Axle Fluid to lubricate front and rear axles, preventing wear and enhancing performance.
Regular fluid changes extend the lifespan of critical components and prevent costly repairs in the future.
Engine and Transmission Checks
Your engine and transmission endure the brunt of your vehicle’s workload. During a major service, our skilled mechanics thoroughly inspect these components to catch wear and tear early. Identifying potential issues before they escalate saves you from unexpected downtime and hefty repair bills.
Filter Replacements for Peak Efficiency
Clogged filters can reduce engine performance, increase fuel consumption, and even affect cabin air quality. We replace these during a Major Service:
- Air Filter for optimal combustion and engine performance.
- Fuel Filter to prevent contaminants entering and damaging your fuel system.
- Cabin Air Filter to ensure the air you breathe inside your vehicle remains clean for you and your passengers.
- Oil Filter to help maintain engine health by trapping contaminants and ensuring that only clean oil circulates through your engine.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
Modern vehicles rely heavily on advanced electronics and systems. Our diagnostics check every aspect of your vehicle, from the engine control unit to ABS sensors, ensuring all components work as intended.
Safety Inspections for Peace of Mind
A Major Service at Topco includes a detailed inspection of:
- Brakes to ensure optimal stopping power.
- Tyres to assess tread depth, pressure, and overall condition.
- Suspension to provide stability and comfort on all terrains.
- Lights to ensures all lights and indicators are functioning properly for visibility and safety.
We prioritise safety to give you confidence every time you hit the road.
Why Regular Major Servicing Matters
Regular servicing is essential for extending the lifespan of your vehicle and ensuring it runs at peak performance. For work vehicles like Vans, Utes, and 4WDs, which often handle heavy tasks and tough conditions, this is especially important. A Major Service helps identify issues early, preventing costly repairs and unexpected breakdowns. By improving fuel efficiency, reducing engine wear, and ensuring your vehicle is in optimal condition, regular maintenance saves you money in the long run. Whether it’s for work or play, a well-maintained vehicle is always ready for the challenges ahead.

When Should You Book a Major Service?
While every vehicle is different, a major service is typically recommended every 24 months or 30,000 to 45,000 km, whichever comes first, with a minor service taking place in between major services. Several factors influence when to service your vehicle, such as driving habits (e.g., frequent long distances or towing), the vehicle’s age, and mileage. These factors should be considered alongside the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. If you’re unsure about your service timeline, check your vehicle’s logbook or contact us at Topco for expert advice.
