A full service is more comprehensive than an interim service and is generally recommended annually (about every 12,000 miles or 12 months). It covers a wide range of inspections and maintenance tasks designed to keep your vehicle in good condition throughout the year. However, for some drivers, especially those covering high mileage, it is beneficial to combine a full service with interim checks in between to ensure ongoing reliability.
Yes, we can service cars under manufacturer warranty by adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines. Our full service uses only approved parts and fluids, ensuring that your warranty remains intact while maintaining your vehicle's performance and reliability.
Yes, as part of our full service, we will reset the service light to ensure your vehicle's maintenance schedule is accurately updated. This helps you keep track of when your next service is due, ensuring your car remains in top condition.
Yes, we can perform a full service at your workplace or on a residential street, provided the area is accessible. This service is designed to be convenient, allowing you to maintain your vehicle's performance without interrupting your daily activities.
A full service typically takes between an hour to an hour and a half. This timeframe can vary based on the specific needs of your vehicle and the complexity of the service. If additional repairs or parts are needed, it might take a bit longer.
Yes. A full service includes in-depth checks and maintenance that you may not notice while simply driving, such as fluid top-ups, filter changes and inspections of suspension or steering components. These routines help uncover early-stage wear or minor issues before they develop into bigger problems, even if your car seems to be running smoothly.
In general, yes. A full service is essentially a detailed health check for your vehicle, spotting faults at an early stage when repairs are typically less expensive. Identifying and rectifying issues during a routine service tends to cost less than waiting until the problem causes a breakdown or significant damage.
While a full service does not replace the legal requirement for an MOT test, it can significantly reduce the risk of failure. Many components inspected in a full service (such as brakes, lights, steering and suspension) are closely aligned with what is checked in an MOT. Identifying and addressing potential faults before your MOT appointment improves the chance of a first-time pass.
