The benefits of a service
Keeping you Safe: Servicing your car regularly can highlight potential problems before they become serious. Why take a chance on your safety or that of your family by not checking critical components such as brakes or suspension?
Keeping you on the Road: Although servicing your vehicle is not a legal requirement, getting your car regularly serviced increases the chance of your car passing its MOT. Regular servicing ensures your car is safe, reliable and in a roadworthy condition.
Maintaining your Vehicle: Servicing preserves your car and can prolong the life and reliability of your vehicle. This reduces the risk of a breakdown and can help maintain its future resale value.
Saving you Money: A service can identify issues early on that could save you £££’s in the future. A smoother running engine and quality tyres can also save you money at the petrol station by improving your mpg.
How do I know my service is due?

If you are unsure what your vehicle’s service schedule give us a call, we’re here to help. Once you’ve had your car serviced with us, we will remind you when the next one is due.
