Do I Need a Full Car Service?
Scheduling a regular full car service is essential to keeping your vehicle in tip-top condition. For example, if left unchanged, your car’s oil can lead to the breakdown of your engine, costing you hundreds of pounds to fix (not to mention a lot of precious time!). Our service can catch potential issues early and help avoid unnecessary breakdowns, undue stress and damage to your car.
As so many of us rely heavily on our vehicles, whether to ferry us to and from work, visit loved ones or enjoy our free time, it makes sense to invest in their health. A full car service can prevent costly repairs in the future that may take your car off the road for days or weeks. While there’s no doubt that modern engines are better designed and more efficient than they used to be, it’s worth visiting a reputable mechanic regularly to maintain your car or van.
So, why do you need a full car service?
It’s not the same as an MOT
An MOT is an annual inspection that assesses your vehicle’s safety. Only a full car service can recognise and correct issues with your car. To book an MOT, visit our service page.
Help get the most from your insurance
Your car’s service history can help ensure your car’s worth is estimated correctly should you have an accident.
Save money on your fuel
A healthy car is more efficient to run and can save you money at the petrol pump.
Increase your car’s lifespan
Looking after your car increases its life expectancy and ensures that small issues don’t escalate into breakdowns or irreparable damage.
Get a better price when selling your car
providing a full service history for your car will help you fetch more when you eventually decide to sell it on.
What’s Included in a Car Service?
Depending on the age and type of vehicle you drive, servicing can range from a simple oil change to replacing timing belts, fluids, filters and more. Some of the most common checks we make during a car service include:
- Checking your car’s lights, tyres, brakes and exhaust
- Changing the oil
- Ensuring your engine is running at its more efficient
- Reviewing your hydraulic fluid and coolant levels
- Inspecting steering alignment
- Assessing the cooling system (including radiators, pumps and hoses)
- Testing the condition of your battery
- Undergoing suspension checks
You should be able to get an idea of the last time your vehicle was serviced from your service book. Usually, when you buy a car or vehicle, the manufacturer will include documents giving a recommended service schedule.
If your full car service indicates your vehicle requires replacements or repairs, our expert technicians at Meadowfield Garage are happy to advise. We offer high-quality aftermarket and manufacturer parts and will guide you on the best service requirements for your particular vehicle.
At your request, we can use manufacturer-specific parts or our minimum standard Delphi (or Delphi-equivalent) parts for your vehicle repair. Delphi Technologies Aftermarket has been awarded International Supplier of the Year 2022, making them a fantastic and reliable supplier to keep your car in first-class condition for years to come. Speak to one of our technicians for more information or guidance.
How Often Should I Service My Car?
You should aim to service your car at least once between MOT tests to ensure any potential problems are spotted and dealt with in good time. Ideally, you should schedule a full car service once every 6 months to keep your vehicle in good condition.
Commercial Vehicles
Our full car service is perfect for commercial vehicles, too. Meadowfield Garage is proud to count a lifelong senior commercial technician on our team. Boasting Master Tech status with multiple global manufacturers, your commercial and PSV vehicle or fleet is in safe hands with our experienced staff.
