What’s included in a service?

A regular car service checks the condition of your car. It can assess everything from general wear and tear to fluids, brakes, the engine, and more. Each service is different depending on your make and model. A car service can involve up to 50 or more components, systems checks and adjustments.

“I have just had an MOT, why do I need to have my car serviced?”

Over 60% of the vehicles we MOT are failing their test. That means that almost 2 out of 3 vehicles are unroadworthy and do not meet Government standards with defective brakes, suspension, lights, tyres or steering. This is an immediate safety risk to their drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other road users. The MOT test is an annual technical inspection for your safety- its not designed to replace or repair worn vehicles components.

Looking for MOT testing?

You can book your MOT online 24/7. You will also receive a free text reminder when it’s due again for the following year.

Reasons to have your vehicle serviced:

Let’s talk cabin filters. These filters sit between the outside air and the blower motor feeding the cabin of your car with air. You can see in this picture the state of the old filter compared to the new one. Now, do you really want to be breathing in the air from a filter that looks like the old one? Book in with us and have yours changed.

Highlighting the importance of regular servicing. Car came in for MOT and failed on emissions, all it needed was a full service. It does not just fix your emissions but improves your miles per gallon.

Pictured at the bottom is the old air filter, compared with the new one above it.
