Car Service FAQs

Absolutely not. Thanks to "Block Exemption" regulations in the UK, you have the right to have your car serviced by an independent garage without invalidating its warranty. We use manufacturer-approved parts and follow the official service schedule precisely to ensure your warranty is fully protected.

No, they are very different. An MOT is an annual, legally required inspection to ensure your vehicle meets minimum road safety standards. A service is a comprehensive maintenance procedure designed to keep your car running reliably and efficiently.

Most manufacturers recommend a Full service every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. For drivers who cover high mileage, an Interim service is recommended every 6,000 miles or 6 months.

An Interim Service typically takes around 1.5 hours, while a more comprehensive Full Service can take up to 3 hours. We can give you a more accurate time estimate when you book, and we'll always call you as soon as your vehicle is ready for collection.

Yes, we have a limited number of courtesy cars available to keep you on the road while we work on your vehicle. We recommend booking a courtesy car in advance to ensure availability. Please mention this when you book your service with us.
