WHAT IS CAR SERVICE
When your vehicle gets serviced, it is inspected to ensure that all the mechanical components are in good working order, including the engine, brakes and suspension, among others. The car service is not the same as the MOT test as many people mistakenly think. The annual MOT test ensures that your vehicle is roadworthy and compliant with DVSA legal requirements. During a vehicle service, you will inspect and replace the worn or damaged components of your vehicle, ensuring that they are operating properly.
SERVICING YOUR CAR
Servicing your car regularly helps you to avoid expensive repair bills since you are able to address problems before they develop into major damages. Servicing should be carried out every year unless the service schedule specifies long-life servicing which can be up to 2 years. Call us to book your car service and we’ll make sure that you get the best service.
BENEFITS OF CAR SERVICING
Regularly servicing your vehicle can provide you with several benefits, including:
A reduced risk of breaking down – ensuring that the components in your vehicle that are prone to wear are in good working order will reduce your chances of a breakdown.
In addition to preventing serious damage, any other damage you may cause by continuing to drive is likely to be avoided as any existing damage will be spotted and repaired.
Increased fuel efficiency – an effective engine with replenished engine fluids burns fuel more effectively.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
MOT testing is required by law on all vehicles in the UK that are 3 years old or more. The annual inspection follows strict criteria set out by the DVSA that determines if your car is fit for purpose and in a roadworthy condition. The MOT test covers a broad range of vehicle safety checks including lights, tyres, seatbelts and emissions and can only be carried out by an MOT garage with DVSA-approved examiners.
Without a current MOT certificate, you will be unable to drive your vehicle lawfully or renew your road tax. The penalty for not having an up to date MOT certificate could be a fine.
To find out if your vehicle has a valid MOT and when your next MOT test is due, visit the GOV.UK website and enter your vehicle registration number.

Minor fixes shouldn’t take more than a day.
For a lot of the smaller repairs and fixes, just a few hours is a reasonable time for car repairs.
If you are stopped by the police and they request a copy of a valid MOT, failure to provide one can lead to a prosecution for non-compliance. The only time that it is not illegal to drive your car without a valid MOT is when you are driving to a pre-booked appointment at a garage for an MOT test.
