How Often Should I Service My Car?

Regular servicing keeps your car safe, reliable and cheaper to run. Here is a sensible guide to timing.

A simple rule of thumb

As a general guide, an interim service every 6 months or 6,000 miles and a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles keeps most cars in good health. Always check your handbook, as some makes and engines have their own schedules.

Why it pays off

Keeping to a service schedule:

  • Catches small problems before they become expensive
  • Keeps fuel economy and performance up
  • Protects the car’s resale value with a full history
  • Helps avoid unexpected breakdowns

Service and MOT together

Many customers have their service and MOT done at the same time with us. It is convenient, and a freshly serviced car is far more likely to sail through its MOT.
