Regular servicing is essential if you wish to keep your car in the best possible condition. Not only does it highlight issues that require immediate attention, it also identifies any underlying problems which, if left too long, could lead to expensive repair work further down the line.

It’s a routine car check-up, the results of which determine the condition of your vehicle, outlining anything that needs prompt attention.
This will depend on how much driving you do and the type of car you drive (please refer to your vehicle’s handbook for specific servicing recommendations). However, the AA advises one full car service per year (or every 12,000 miles).
When you bring your vehicle in for a service, we’ll look at a range of things, including the following:
Primarily, an MOT looks at a car’s
braking and fuel systems, seatbelts, windscreen wipers, lights, mirrors and
exhaust (including emissions) – but doesn’t take into account its engine,
clutch or gearbox.
An MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is an annual inspection which applies to all vehicles that are more than three years old. It’s designed to ensure that your car meets the minimum legal requirements for road safety and environmental standards.
This includes everything offered by a regular service (see above) but goes into even more detail. For instance, it incorporates fuel-filter replacement (for diesel cars), air-cleaner replacement and parking-brake shoe inspections.
If it’s your vehicle’s first MOT, you’ll need to bring its logbook (V5C), which is also required if your car has a new registration number. If you don’t have a V5C, you can apply for one here: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-log-book
If your vehicle fails its MOT, it will need to be repaired in order to be retested. Of course, we have all the necessary expertise to remedy any issues that may cause a failed test.
No. A service isn’t like an MOT. However, it does bring to light aspects of your vehicle’s state that require attention.
