Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often should I get my car serviced?

A1: It's generally recommended to service your car according to the manufacturer's schedule, typically every 12 months or a set mileage (e.g., 10,000-15,000 miles), whichever comes first. However, some vehicles may have specific requirements, so always consult your owner's manual.

Q2: What happens if my car fails its MOT?

A2: If your car fails its MOT, it is illegal to drive it on the road unless you are taking it to a pre-booked MOT test appointment or to a place of repair. We can carry out the necessary repairs and conduct a re-test for you.

Q3: Can you service a new car without invalidating the warranty?

A3: Yes, as an independent garage using approved parts and following manufacturer specifications, servicing your vehicle with us will not invalidate your manufacturer's warranty, thanks to Block Exemption Regulations.

A4: We offer a choice of high-quality parts, including genuine manufacturer parts and reputable aftermarket alternatives, depending on your preference and vehicle requirements. We will always discuss the best options with you.

Q5: How long does an air conditioning service take?
