    The Importance of an 'Annual'

    When i had my car at Autofficina a couple of weeks ago to get F1 pump sorted they actually said to me it's not worth me having the mileage service for my next service as i don't do enough miles (less than 3K per year). They said it's a waste of money but if i wanted it they would gladly accept...
