Staying on top of regularly scheduled maintenance is crucial for getting the most out of your British luxury SUV in terms of performance, safety, and longevity. But how often does your Range Rover, Defender, or Discovery need to visit the service center? The recommendations vary somewhat between models. Land Rover Houston North is here to provide service interval insight. Find out when you should visit our Range Rover Service Center in Houston, located along I-45, just south of Cypress Creek.
Key Service Intervals: When to Bring in Your Range Rover, Defender, or Discovery
Here's a breakdown of the typical service intervals for the core vehicles across the three lineups.
Service Intervals for Defender SUVs
For Defender models, an initial service visit is recommended after 12 months or 16,000 miles, whichever comes first. Subsequent services are recommended every 12 months or 16,000 miles after that.
Certain items like brake fluid and coolant require replacement every few years. Many Defender owners in Houston choose to bring their SUV in for service every six months just to stay on the safe side, given the stop-and-go driving common in the Space City.
When to Service Your Range Rover
Range Rover models have slightly different service intervals than Defender SUVs. The first service is recommended at 12 months or 10,000 miles. After that, aim for service every 12 months or 16,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
More frequent interim service visits every 5,000 to 6,000 miles are wise for Range Rover SUVs that undergo a lot of strenuous use or for Houston drivers dealing with heavy traffic along Grand Parkway 99 and the North Freeway on a daily basis. Our service advisors in North Houston can provide more specifics based on your driving habits.
Discovery Service Recommendations
Discovery models follow similar service intervals to Range Rover SUVs, with a first visit recommended at 12 months or 10,000 miles and subsequent services every 12 months or 16,000 miles. Again, certain fluids, filters, and parts will need to be replaced periodically.
For Houstonians putting a lot of miles on their Discovery traversing the expansive metro area, interim service checks focused on oil changes, tire rotations, and inspections every six months provide added peace of mind.
