**At Motor Servicing, an oil change takes about 45 minutes, an interim service about an hour, a full service around 90 minutes and a major service about two hours. A diagnostic health check is 30 to 45 minutes and a battery replacement around 30 minutes.**

A garage will usually keep your car for half a day or more, because your job sits in a queue with everyone else's. A mobile visit is booked to your car alone, so the time on site is the actual working time, and you are not left without a vehicle in between.
