Ensuring your Fiat receives regular and proper servicing is paramount to its longevity and performance. At Fiat Workshop, we pride ourselves on adhering strictly to the manufacturer's servicing schedule, utilising Genuine or Original Equipment parts to guarantee that your vehicle is maintained to the highest standards. Many vehicle owners worry about the cost and complexity of servicing, but we aim to demystify the process and provide clear, upfront information. Whether your Fiat needs a routine check-up, a specific repair, or even more involved work like brake replacements, we are equipped to handle it efficiently and effectively. Our commitment is to provide a service that is indistinguishable from that offered by main dealerships, but often with a more personal touch and competitive pricing.
Understanding Fiat Servicing Schedules
The manufacturer's servicing schedule is a meticulously designed plan that outlines the necessary maintenance tasks for your Fiat at specific mileage intervals or time periods. These intervals are crucial for identifying and addressing potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs. Regular servicing helps to maintain optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and overall safety. Components like oil, filters, spark plugs, and brake fluid are replaced at prescribed intervals, while other areas such as brakes, suspension, and tyres are inspected. By following these schedules, you not only protect your investment but also ensure your Fiat remains reliable and safe to drive.
Our Servicing Options and Pricing
We offer a comprehensive range of servicing options designed to meet the diverse needs of Fiat owners. Our pricing is transparent and reflects the quality of parts and workmanship we provide. Below is a breakdown of our costs for common servicing and repair items, particularly focusing on braking systems, as these are critical for safety.
Braking System Servicing Costs
The braking system is one of the most vital safety features of any vehicle. Worn brake pads or discs can significantly compromise your ability to stop safely. We offer replacement services for both front and rear brake pads and discs, catering to various Fiat models. Please note that the prices listed are for the parts and labour involved in replacing these components. It's always advisable to have your entire braking system inspected during any service to ensure optimal performance.
| Brake Component | 0.9 TB | 1.0 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 4x4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRONT pads | £155.60 | £183.91 | £155.60 | £155.60 | £155.60 |
| FRONT pads and discs | £204.80 | £272.71 | £204.80 | £244.40 | £204.80 |
| REAR pads | £150.80 | ||||
| REAR pads and discs | £197.60 | ||||
*Note: 4x4 front brake disc and pads are as indicated for the relevant models.
Genuine vs. Aftermarket Parts
At Fiat Workshop, we exclusively use Genuine or Original Equipment (OE) parts. Genuine parts are manufactured by Fiat or by a supplier specifically for Fiat, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and quality standards of your vehicle. OE parts are made by the same manufacturers that supply parts to Fiat for their production lines. Using these parts guarantees compatibility and maintains the integrity of your Fiat's systems. While aftermarket parts can sometimes be cheaper, they may not offer the same level of quality, durability, or precise fit, potentially leading to premature wear or performance issues. Investing in genuine parts is an investment in your Fiat's long-term health.
Booking a Service
Booking a service with us is straightforward. If you know which service your Fiat requires, you can simply click on the relevant service on our website and follow the easy step-by-step instructions to book your appointment. This ensures that we can allocate the appropriate time and resources for your vehicle's needs.
Customisation of Parts and Oils
We understand that some owners have specific preferences for certain components or fluids. Should you wish to use specific items, such as particular brands of engine oil like Selenia Racing or HPX, we can accommodate your requests. We are happy to source and fit the parts you require. Please be aware that using specific, non-standard parts may result in an adjustment to the overall cost, which will be communicated to you beforehand. Our aim is to provide a flexible service that caters to your individual needs and preferences.
