Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How often should I get my car serviced?
It's generally recommended to service your car every 12 months or after covering a specific mileage (e.g., 12,000 miles), whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your vehicle's make, model, age, and how you use it. Check your owner's manual or consult with us at RG Motors for the most accurate advice for your specific vehicle.
Q2: What's the difference between an interim and a full service?
An interim service is a basic check and oil change, suitable for high-mileage drivers. A full service is more comprehensive, including replacements of filters (oil, air, fuel, spark plugs) and a more thorough inspection of various components, making it ideal for annual maintenance.
Q3: Do you use genuine parts or aftermarket parts?
At RG Motors, we use high-quality parts that are either genuine manufacturer parts or reputable aftermarket parts that meet or exceed the original specifications. We can discuss the options with you if you have a preference.
Q4: How long will my car repair take?
The duration of a repair depends on the complexity of the issue and the availability of parts. We will provide you with an estimated timeframe when you book your vehicle in and keep you updated on the progress.
Q5: Can you service my new car without invalidating the warranty?
Yes, as an independent garage using quality parts and following manufacturer service schedules, servicing your car with us will not invalidate your manufacturer's warranty, thanks to block exemption regulations.
