À propos de ついでに
序でに is an adverb in Japanese that is used in a similar way to 'while you're at it', or 'on the occasion of (A)' in English. 序で itself is a noun that means 'precedence' (in terms of being the first thing to happen). Due to this, the literal meaning of 序でに may be thought of as 'with (A) as the precedence, (B)'.
序でに is commonly used with verbs, or nouns. In the case of nouns, it will need to be preceded by the case marking particle の.
Fun Fact
Just like 'precedence' in English, 序でに implies that (A) is the instigator for (B). Because of this, 序でに is a good way to convey that something is not urgent, but, if (A) is happening, it is the perfect chance to do (B) as well.
Caution
序でに is more formal than 間に or 時に, so has more of a tendency to be used for 'one-off' things, rather than regular occurrences. Despite this, it still may be used to describe regular occurrences at times, especially when speaking formally or politely, such as to a senpai.

Hey there! As @nekoyama has said, the main difference of うちに and ついでに is that うちに has the nuance of ‘the best time something should happen’ and ついでに has the nuance of ‘on the occasion’. The sentence 給油のついでに車を点検してもらいました has the nuance of ‘I had my car checked, because I was already out refueling my car.’
Another thing to remember is that when うちに is attached to a verb, it will be attached to the ている for of verbs. So, if you wanted to use うちに here, the sentence will be 給油しているうちに、車を点検してもらいました。‘I had my car inspected wile I was refueling my car (and it finished before I finished refueling).’

Thank you @nekoyama and @Fuga for the detailed explanations!

Hello,
While studying this grammar, I see that the header is ‘序でに’ while it is written as ‘序に’ in the rest of the text when it appears in its kanji form. As per Jisho, both forms are used.
While it appears that it is normally written in kana (ついでに), wouldn’t it be possible to adjust the header and the body of the text so that they both use a common kanji form and include the other version under the header as an orange note?
Thank you for your consideration. 良い一日を
