The answer to this varies from car to car and driver to driver. Manufacturers recommend different servicing intervals for different models, but you should at least aim to have a full service once every year depending on mileage. For more information on this topic, read our dedicated article.

Even if it feels like there are no obvious issues with your car, it’s wise to have your car serviced at regular intervals. If you haven’t had any servicing in the past year, you should book your car in so we can inspect it — we might find a minor issue that could develop into something major if left unchecked.

We always endeavour to get you back on the road as quickly as possible. If we are able to, we will carry out repairs there and then; however, while this isn’t always possible, we will make repair arrangements for you as soon as we can.

You can arrange to have your car serviced at any of our service centres in Saffron Walden, Sudbury and Stowmarket.

The final cost depends on which servicing package you choose and whether or not you need repairs made or replacement parts ordering in. Our technicians will always provide you with a transparent quote and final bill, and are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this.

We can carry out both an MOT and a full service on your car. We recommend having the MOT first, however, if you haven’t had regular servicing for a while, it’s a good idea to arrange for a service as soon as possible.
