FAQs

How often should I service my car?

Most vehicles should be serviced once a year or every 10,000 miles, although this can vary depending on the manufacturer and driving conditions. Regular servicing keeps the engine, braking system and key components working correctly. Following the recommended service schedule also helps prevent faults developing over time.

Is independent servicing as good as dealer servicing?

Yes. Independent specialists often use the same diagnostic equipment and service procedures as main dealers. A specialist workshop can provide high quality servicing while offering a more personal approach and competitive pricing.

Does servicing include diagnostics?

Yes. Modern vehicle servicing normally includes a diagnostic scan to check electronic control systems for stored fault codes. This helps identify issues that may not yet be visible through warning lights or driving symptoms.

Will servicing maintain my warranty?

Yes, provided the servicing follows the manufacturer’s recommended schedule and uses the correct specification parts and fluids. Independent garages are able to service vehicles without affecting the warranty. Accurate service records should always be kept.

Can you update digital service records?

Yes. Many modern vehicles use digital service records instead of traditional service books. These records can be updated through manufacturer systems after the service has been completed.
