You should service your car because doing so can prevent plenty of annoying and expensive vehicle maintenance problems.

First, if you don’t get your car serviced periodically – every six or 12 months, for example – then you run the risk of letting small problems that are cheap to fix turn into much larger, more expensive ones.

Your car may also stop working due to maintenance issues, which can be a much more disruptive and annoying situation to deal with than the minor inconvenience of getting a car service booked.

Then there’s the safety dimension to consider: do you really want to drive a banged-up car with components which might suddenly snap while you’re behind the wheel?

Car services aren’t like MOTs, though. In a service, if your MOT certificate is valid and your technician finds an issue which would result in an MOT failure, you can still drive home – though it can make much more sense to get the issue fixed there and then.

When your car needs a service, there are often plenty of ways it’ll let you know. Understanding these is an important part of getting repairs done quickly and economically:

Your car’s service interval says it’s time
Dashboard warning lights
Issues with braking
Strange noises
Stalling and engine issues
Vibrations and shuddering
Problems with ignition
Increased fuel use
Noise during gear changes
Smoky exhaust emissions

Our car service packages are available across three servicing tiers, with each one including checks for different driver. This means you can get the most from your car service without paying for testing and fixes you don’t need – or missing out on important ones!

Our car servicing packages – Interim Service, Full Service and Major Service – are available for most makes and models.
So, whatever the condition, history or age of your vehicle or your maintenance schedule, our car services will include the right checks for your specific motoring requirements.
