Car Servicing Hertfordshire

Keeping on top of servicing your car can go a long way to help save money in the long run and maintain reliability

Routine servicing and maintenance not only keeps your vehicle in optimal condition but also addresses critical safety components such as brakes, steering, suspension, and tires, helping you avoid breakdowns and costly MOT failures.

Vehicles should be serviced every 12 months or every 10,000-12,000 miles as a general rule. All cars will differ based on their manual and what they’re used for.

The more often you service your car, the better it will perform and the longer it will run for trouble free!

Why do I need to service my car?

Annual car servicing is just as crucial as your MOT. Keeping up with fluid changes and overall vehicle health not only extends your car's lifespan but also helps identify potential issues before they become costly problems or take your car off the road. Regular servicing can save you money over time by:

Reducing repair costs throughout your vehicle’s life
Lowering the risk of unexpected breakdowns
Maximizing the time your car remains on the road
Minimizing the inconvenience of being without a vehicle
Extending the lifespan of components like tires and brakes

In addition to keeping your car running smoothly, regular servicing can be a significant advantage when selling your vehicle. Buyers expect value for their money, and a well-documented service history can help you secure a higher selling price.

Service Types & Options

What is an Interim Service?

An interim service is recommended every six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. During this service, we inspect key components of your car, including oil and filters, essential fluid levels, brakes, suspension, and steering.

What is a Full Service?

A full service is ideal if you prefer to service your car once a year. We recommend a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles. It includes all the checks from an interim service, plus an inspection of your air filter, radiator, power steering fluids, and fuel pipes.

What is a Major Service?

A major service is advised every 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. This comprehensive service assesses the overall health of your vehicle, including critical components like spark plugs and the timing belt, which can wear down over time. It also includes all checks from both interim and full services.

Vehicle Still Under Warranty?

Did you know that if your car is under warranty, you can have it serviced anywhere you choose?

Recent European regulations make it illegal for manufacturers or dealers to insist that warranty service must be done at their facilities. Any qualified technician using equivalent quality products can perform the work.
