Born in Pals, Girona, Catalonia, Spain, Servià began his racing career in go-karts, competing at a local track until the age of nineteen. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia.
Servià moved to the Dayton Indy Lights series in America in 1998. In 1999, he won the Indy Lights championship, achieving five runner-up finishes that year.
In 2000, Servià joined the PPI Motorsports team in the Champ Car series, as teammate to Cristiano da Matta. He subsequently raced for Sigma Autosport (2001), Patrick Racing (from the middle of 2002 to the end of 2003, finishing sixth in the championship in 2003), and Dale Coyne Racing (2004).
After starting the 2005 season with Coyne, Servià moved to Newman/Haas Racing after two races to replace the injured Bruno Junqueira. On 28 August 2005, he achieved a victory at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, his first-ever Champ Car victory. The win was controversial, as Timo Glock was forced to yield the lead on the final lap after cutting the final chicane while blocking Servià. Servià ultimately finished as championship runner-up behind team-mate Sébastien Bourdais. In 2006, he joined PKV Racing alongside Katherine Legge, with team co-owner Jimmy Vasser scheduled for a partial season, though Vasser only drove at Long Beach. Servià finished eleventh in the standings with one podium finish, a third place at Cleveland.
In 2007, Servià replaced the injured Paul Tracy at Forsythe Championship Racing, earning a runner-up finish in his debut. He secured a seat for the rest of the season, replacing teammate Mario Domínguez, and scored two podiums and four top-five finishes in eleven starts. At San Jose, he led a race-high 42 laps, finishing third. Later in the season, he drove for PKV Racing in the final two races, finishing in the top ten in all but one start, and ultimately finishing sixth in the Series standings.
The 2011 MoveThatBlock.com Indy 225 saw a controversial finish. With ten laps remaining, a green flag was displayed, leading to multiple crashes. After a subsequent red flag, race control reversed the order, declaring Ryan Hunter-Reay the winner, despite Servià being in front at the time of the red flag. Newman/Haas Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing filed protests, but the result was upheld.
Servià continued to compete in IndyCar through 2019, with sporadic appearances. In 2018, he began serving as the pace car driver at IndyCar races outside the Indianapolis 500. He drove in the 103rd running of the Indy 500 in May 2019 with Team Stange Racing, who worked with Schmidt Peterson Motorsport.
Servià accumulated seven top-ten finishes, five top-five finishes, and a fourth place best finish in the 2008 IndyCar Series.
In the 2014–15 season, Servià competed in Formula E for Dragon Racing, leaving the series prior to the 2015 Miami ePrix to become managing director for the technical and commercial partnerships of Dragon Racing.
