Car & Van Servicing Totton

Basically, it’s a health check with routine maintenance for your vehicle which assesses everything from your engine’s fluid levels to the general wear and tear of your car. A service is usually undertaken by a mechanic and the most in-depth of them involves around 50 or more system and component checks, adjustments and parts replacement.

Regular servicing will mean your car is running as efficiently and safely as possible and regular scheduled maintenance may well end up saving you money in the long run. It will improve fuel efficiency, provide better handling and a smoother running engine, as well as peace of mind from knowing your vehicle is running optimally. Whilst reducing the possibility of breakdowns it can also help avoid severe repair bills by early diagnosis of potential issues and will almost certainly extend the life of your vehicle.

There are different levels of service and the type you choose will indicate what is included but a full service will include an engine oil and filter change, a check of fluids and a full brake check, plus checks on over 50 other key components including safety-related features.

Most manufacturers recommend servicing your car at least once a year or every 12,000 miles whichever comes first, but this will depend on your vehicle and your personal driving style. Some vehicles now operate with extended mileage between services using high-quality lubricants.

The service level should equate to your annual mileage, so it depends on your level of vehicle use. We offer:
