    I service car every year, both of them. I am never at the target km for next service but do it

    On your last service did they not put a sticker up with recommendation for next service?

    Cars differ in terms of age/engine to what is recommended, so you should provide that info first

    You should have an owner's manual/service manual.
    This will tell you how often to service car and what needs to be done at each service.

    What is it, a Prius or some JDM model?

    Irish model stuff would usually be 15,000km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
