Servicing

What is a service?

A service is a routine check up of your vehicle. We assess your vehicle's overall condition. Multiple checks are carried out and service items such as oil, air, fuel and pollen filters are replaced at appropriate intervals.


Why should I get my vehicle serviced?

Servicing is crucial in ensuring your vehicle continues to run safely and smoothly throughout it's lifetime. Regular servicing helps to maximise the life of your vehicle and a full service history often boosts the resale value of a car.


How often should I get my vehicle serviced?

Most modern vehicle will have a service indicator light that will remind you when a service is needed. Details of your manufacturers recommended services schedule will be in your handbook. The typical recommendation is every 10,000 - 20,000 miles.

What are the different types of service?

We offer two different types of services, an interim service and a full service. An interim service is recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles - whichever comes sooner, and a full service is recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles driven - whichever comes sooner.


How much does a service cost?

The price of a service depends on the make and model of your vehicle, and which service is due. Please contact us today for a quote.
