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 specified mileage (e.g., 10,000-15,000 miles), whichever comes first. However, driving conditions and your vehicle's age can influence this.

Q2: What happens if my car fails its MOT?

A3: We can offer both genuine manufacturer parts and high-quality aftermarket alternatives, depending on your preference and budget. We will always discuss the options with you before proceeding with any repairs.
