If you invoice the spare parts separately and pay sales tax/vat on the same then you cannot take the credit of excise duty paid on such spare parts since such activity will amount to trading and trading is excluded from service. Your service of cars will fall under maintenance service and you have to pay service tax on the gross amount charged by you for providing the service.
