What Does a Car Servicing Cover?
Car servicing is essential for maintaining the health and performance of your vehicle. It involves a comprehensive check-up and maintenance of various components to ensure that your car is running smoothly and safely on the road.
- Fresh engine oil is essential for proper lubrication and reducing wear and tear. The oil filter traps impurities, so changing it keeps the oil clean.
- Essential fluids like brake fluid, coolant, and screenwash are checked and topped up if needed.
- Similar to an MOT, the tread depth, pressure, and overall condition of your tyres are checked.
- Headlights, taillights, indicators, and other lights are inspected for proper function.
- The battery’s health and connections are assessed.
- One of our professionals will look for any leaks, signs of damage, or potential issues under the bonnet and around the car.

- Filters, including the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter, play a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness of your car’s engine and cabin air. During servicing, these filters are inspected and replaced if they are dirty or clogged.
- Brakes are critical for your safety on the road. Our technician will inspect the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid for wear and damage. If needed, they will replace worn brake components and bleed the brake system to ensure proper function.
- The condition of your tires greatly affects your car’s handling and safety. The technician will inspect the tire tread depth, pressure, and overall condition. They may also rotate the tires to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan.

Depending on your car’s mileage, age, and manufacturer recommendations, additional services such as wheel alignment, timing belt replacement, and fuel system cleaning may be performed during the servicing.
Once all necessary services and repairs are completed, the technician will conduct a final inspection of the vehicle to ensure everything is in proper working order. They may also take the car for a road test to verify that all systems are functioning correctly.
