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.
Why should I have my vehicle serviced?
“But I’ve just had an MOT, why do I need to have my car serviced too?!” But servicing is actually completely different to an MOT. An MOT is an annual technical inspection for safety – it’s not designed to replace or repair worn vehicle 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.
