What is a car service?
A car service is a routine heath check that assesses everything from your engine’s fluid levels to general wear and tear. It keeps your car running safely and efficiently. And it can save you money in the long run, by nipping in the bud any problems that could develop.

How often should I service my car?
Most manufacturers recommend having a full car service once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. But this depends on your car and how you drive it.
Some cars are fitted a handy system that lets you know when a service is due. Even if this appears before 12 months or every 12,000 miles, you shouldn’t ignore it.

What to bring to a car service
You need to bring a few things with you to make sure your car service runs smoothly:
-
Alloy wheel keys or locking nuts. We need this to remove your wheels, so we can check your steering and suspension systems.
-
An empty boot. If you have a spare tyre, our technicians will need to check it. So make sure you remove any personal items from the boot.
-
Your service book. We need to see when certain things were last replaced. For example, brake fluid and spark plugs. This information is in your service book.
