Specific services
Pre-Purchase Inspections
An independent check of a used car before you commit, so you buy knowing what condition it is really in.
View service →Car Servicing & MaintenanceOil and Filter Changes
Engine oil and filter replacement using the grade and specification your vehicle calls for.
View service →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.

Car Servicing & Maintenance FAQs
What is the difference between an interim, full and major service?
They differ in how many items are replaced and checked. Interim is lighter, full is more thorough and major is the most comprehensive.
How often should I service my car?
It depends on the manufacturer's schedule, your mileage and how you drive. Annual or mileage-based services are common.
Is an MOT the same as a service?
No. An MOT checks roadworthiness on the day; a service is preventive maintenance to keep the car in good condition.
Will servicing with you affect my warranty?
In the UK you can generally use an independent garage if work follows the manufacturer's schedule with suitable parts. Check your own warranty terms.
Can you do a check before I buy a used car?
Yes. Our pre-purchase inspections look at the main mechanical and bodywork items and highlight any concerns.
What is a vehicle health check?
A visual inspection of fluids, tyres, brakes, lights and other key items to give you a snapshot of the car's condition.
Can you change the oil and filter only?
Yes, oil and filter changes are available on their own.
Can you find a fault that keeps coming back?
Yes. Our fault-finding approach is to test systematically and trace the cause rather than swap parts.
