Most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000–12,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on how you drive and the type of vehicle. Regular servicing helps catch issues early and keeps your car running safely and efficiently.
A full service typically includes an oil and filter change, checks on brakes, tyres, suspension, fluids, battery, and key safety components. We also carry out a general inspection to identify any potential issues before they become costly repairs.
Common signs include warning lights, unusual noises, vibrations, loss of power, or changes in how the car drives. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always best to have it checked early to avoid further damage.
Some warning lights are minor, but others can indicate serious issues. If you’re unsure, it’s safest to get your vehicle checked as soon as possible to prevent potential damage or breakdown.
Basic servicing can often be completed within a few hours or the same day. More complex diagnostics or repairs may take longer depending on the issue. We’ll always keep you updated and provide realistic timeframes.
We recommend booking in advance to ensure availability, especially during busy periods. However, we’ll always try to accommodate urgent repairs where possible.
