Annual and scheduled service · Carrollton, Texas
These cars age on the calendar, not the odometer.
Annual and interval services, oil and filter, inspections, and the two-, four- and six-year items, scoped to what is actually due, with a line-item estimate before anything starts.
The calendar is the schedule
Most McLarens we see cover a few thousand miles a year. The mileage says the car is barely used; the calendar says the oil is a year old, the brake fluid is absorbing moisture, and the battery has been cycling against a drain it was never going to win.
Fluids, seals and rubber age whether the car moves or not. Oil picks up condensation from short starts, brake fluid pulls water out of the air, and tires harden in the Texas heat. That is why the factory schedule is written in years as well as miles, and why low-mileage cars are the ones most often behind on it.
Every scheduled service here ends the same way: a written record of what was done, the fluids and part numbers used, and the figures we measured, filed against your VIN. That file is what protects the warranty position and the resale value.
The intervals
The schedule is the same for every car; what is due is not. We scope each visit to the car's age, history and the items that land at that interval.
Oil and filter, a full inspection, a fault scan and a road test. This is the visit that keeps the service book current and catches the small things, a weeping hose, a soft battery, a cracked coolant reservoir, while they are still small.
Brake fluid, regardless of mileage. It absorbs moisture from the air, the boiling point drops, and the pedal tells you about it at the worst possible moment. We test moisture content and flush to specification when it is due.
Transmission fluid on the SSG and DCT gearboxes, along with the filters and inspections the schedule adds at four years or 40,000 miles. Gearbox fluid is the interval most often skipped and most expensive to skip.
The longer-interval items, plugs, additional filters and the deeper inspections, plus the things the calendar quietly adds on cars that sit: tires past their date codes, batteries at end of life, seals that have dried from standing.
In the shop
Every car is received, photographed and checked in against its history before a panel comes off.
Annual and interval items run to the factory schedule for the model and age, signed off line by line.
A lift inspection comes with every scheduled visit, so nothing waiting underneath goes unmentioned.
How a service runs
Full fault read, road test and photographs before anything is touched.
Line-item estimate split into due now and due later. Nothing starts without your yes.
Factory fluids, factory torque values, genuine parts recorded by number.
Road test, wash, and a written record of every part, fluid and measured value.
A routine annual is commonly completed in one to two business days once the car is with us.
Annual and scheduled service
Serviced on the calendar, not after the warning light.
Where we work
We are ten minutes off the President George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton, and we collect and return cars across Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Southlake and the Park Cities, useful when the car should not be sitting in your garage drain its own battery between services.
If the car covers very few miles, tell us how it is stored. Service timing, battery care and tire condition all change when a car lives on a trickle charger rather than on the road.
We arrange enclosed transport for owners further out. Scheduled service is the easiest job to plan around a round trip, because everything is known before the car leaves your garage.
Why March Motorsports
An annual service is simple work done carefully. The value is in the inspection underneath it, the fault scan read properly, the reservoir checked for the cracks that model is known for, the figures written down so next year has something to compare against.
You get a line-item estimate before work starts, photographs of anything we find, and a record against your VIN that reads like a dealer's service history without the dealer's service department.
The correct oil, the correct torque values, genuine parts recorded by part number.
Due now and due later are split in writing, nothing is bundled in because it might be.
Every visit files measurements and photographs to the VIN for warranty and resale.

Questions
Annually or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Brake fluid is a separate two-year item regardless of mileage, and transmission fluid is due at four years or 40,000 miles on the SSG and DCT gearboxes. Low-mileage cars still need attention, because fluids and batteries age on the calendar rather than the odometer.
Yes. Oil degrades from condensation on short starts, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and tires and batteries age whether the car moves or not. Low-mileage cars are the ones we most often find behind on the schedule.
The annual is oil, filter, inspection and scan. The major intervals, two, four and six years, add the time-based items: brake fluid, transmission fluid, filters and deeper inspections. We scope each visit to what is actually due rather than selling a package.
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot require dealer servicing to keep the warranty. What matters is that the work is done on schedule, to specification, with correct parts, and that you can prove it. Every job here is documented against your VIN for exactly that reason.
Yes. Genuine parts and factory fluids to factory specification, with part numbers recorded on your invoice.
A written record of everything done, the fluids and part numbers used, the figures we measured, and photographs of anything worth seeing. It goes into a file against your VIN, so every future service starts from a known baseline.
Yes. We collect and return across Dallas-Fort Worth and arrange enclosed transport from Austin, Houston and further out.
A week or two is usually enough for a routine annual. If the car is coming up on a major interval, earlier is better so any parts can be confirmed before the car arrives.
