I used to be a technician/service manager........

some servicing is mileage related, some is time related. if you had a brand new car stood in a garage, with zero mileage, over the years, the coolant, brake fluid and cam belt would still need changing, amongst the more obvious things.

Best way is to try it yourself. It is really not that difficult. Saves a bit of money on Labour as well. BTW what is a polun filter?
