While every vehicle and driver is unique, the need for regular servicing and maintenance remains a constant, regardless of your car’s make, model, or age.
Whether your car is petrol, diesel, hybrid, or electric, it’s easy to assume that if the engine is running smoothly and it’s passed its annual MOT, everything is fine. However, regular servicing is about much more than just passing that yearly test or repairing a known fault. It’s fundamentally about keeping you safe, saving you money in the long run, and ensuring your car remains reliable.
When Should I Service My Car?
Most car manufacturers advise scheduling a full service every 12 months or upon reaching a specific mileage benchmark. However, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead of offering set-price packages, we provide totally bespoke servicing.
Using our access to all vehicle manufacturers’ service schedules, we accurately assess your car based on its current age and mileage. This allows us to recommend exactly what your car needs—no more, no less.
It’s important to note that higher ages or mileages often require extra checks or services to be performed. Conversely, if you haven’t driven far, we may suggest a smaller, interim service to meet the necessary maintenance requirements without over-servicing.

To keep your car running safely and smoothly between professional services, we recommend performing these simple checks:
