Specific services

Interim servicing

An interim service is a lighter service between major ones, often suitable for higher-mileage drivers. It typically covers oil and filter changes and a set of checks to keep the car in good order.

Full servicing

A full service goes further than an interim, with more items replaced and a wider range of checks. It is a good annual service for many cars.

Major servicing

A major service is the most comprehensive, usually including items that are replaced less often, such as certain filters and fluids, as well as the checks of a full service.

Manufacturer-schedule servicing

Manufacturer-schedule servicing follows the maintenance schedule set by your car's manufacturer, so work is done at the right time with suitable parts and records are kept. Check your own warranty terms.

Oil and filter changes

Oil and filter changes keep engine oil clean, which is one of the most important routine jobs. We use oil and filters suited to your engine.

General maintenance

General maintenance covers the wear and tear items that come up between services, such as bulbs, wipers, belts and fluid top-ups.

Vehicle health checks

A vehicle health check is a visual inspection of key items such as fluids, tyres, brakes and lights, so you know where your car stands.

Pre-purchase inspections

A pre-purchase inspection checks a used car before you buy, looking at engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, bodywork and signs of previous repairs, to help you decide with confidence.

Fault finding

Fault finding investigates a problem that does not have an obvious cause, such as a noise, vibration, smell or intermittent fault, and traces it to the source.
