Does Your Car Need a Service?
Most modern cars only need servicing once a year, but older vehicles or higher-mileage cars may benefit from a service every six months.
The best place to check what your car needs is the manufacturer’s service handbook, as this outlines the recommended service schedule for your specific make and model. That said, how you use your car also plays a big part.
For example:
Regular long-distance driving can lead to increased tyre and brake wear
Mainly short journeys can mean the engine oil doesn’t fully warm up, increasing wear over time
If you’re unsure what’s right for your car, just ask – we’ll happily advise.
Clear Advice. No Unexpected Costs.
If, during your service, we spot anything that needs further attention, we’ll always speak to you first.
No work is carried out without your approval
The price agreed before the service is the price you pay
Any additional work is only done if you’re happy to go ahead
We believe in being upfront and honest – no pressure and no unnecessary recommendations.
Full Service
Our Full Service is typically recommended once a year or every 10,000–12,000 miles, depending on manufacturer guidelines and your service history.
A full service includes:
Engine oil and filter change
Replacement of key filters where required
Fluid checks and top-ups
Comprehensive safety and mechanical inspections
Necessary adjustments and checks
If you’re unsure whether your car is due a full service, get in touch and we’ll check for you.
Interim Service
An Interim Service is ideal if you do lower mileage or want peace of mind between full services.
It includes many of the key safety and maintenance checks of a full service, but without certain filter replacements and adjustments. When you book your car in, we’ll check your service history and recommend the most cost-effective option — if a shorter service will do the job, we’ll tell you.
