Question 1

How often should I service my car?

Accepted Answer

Most manufacturers recommend servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. We will stamp your service book so you have proof of work done for warranty and resale value.

Question 2

What is the difference between an interim and a full service?

Accepted Answer

An interim service is a quicker check covering essential items like oil and filter changes. A full service is more comprehensive and includes additional checks on brakes, suspension and other key systems. A major service is the most thorough and recommended every two years or 24,000 miles.

Question 3

How long does a service take?

Accepted Answer

An interim service typically takes around two to three hours. A full or major service can take four to six hours depending on your vehicle. We will give you an accurate estimate when you book.

Question 4

Will my service book be stamped?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stamp every service book to maintain your manufacturer warranty and protect your vehicle's resale value. If you do not have a physical book, we provide a detailed invoice as proof of service.

Question 5

When is my MOT due?

Accepted Answer

Your MOT is due every year after your car is three years old. You can check your MOT due date using your registration number on our free MOT checker. We recommend booking your test early to avoid delays.

Question 6

What does an MOT test cover?

Accepted Answer

An MOT test checks your vehicle meets safety and environmental standards. We check brakes, tyres, emissions, lights, windscreen wipers, suspension and more. We give you a clear report and explain any advisories you need to be aware of.

Question 7

What if I fail my MOT?

Accepted Answer

If your vehicle fails its MOT, we will discuss the issues with you and provide a clear quote for any repairs needed. Once repaired, we can arrange a quick re-test so you get back on the road without delay. Your first re-test is cheaper within 10 working days.

Question 8

Can I drive on an advisory?

Accepted Answer

Yes, an advisory is not a failure. It means we have identified an issue that does not yet make your car unsafe, but it should be monitored or repaired soon. We will explain what the advisory means and recommend when to get it sorted.

Question 9
