Major Car Service

Get your MOT for £25 when booked together!

Our Major Car Service is a comprehensive service package designed to keep your vehicle safe, efficient, and performing properly. Recommended annually or at key mileage intervals, it goes beyond a standard service with deeper checks, additional filter replacements, and more detailed inspection across critical systems.

What’s included in a Major Service

Depending on your vehicle’s service schedule, this typically includes:

  • Engine oil and filter change for protection and performance

  • Full engine inspection and under-bonnet checks

  • Brake system inspection to ensure safe stopping

  • Steering and suspension checks for stable handling and reduced wear

  • Cooling system checks to help prevent overheating

  • Battery health check and charging system inspection

  • Tyre condition and pressures plus general roadwheel checks

  • Alignment-related checks to support comfort and reduce tyre wear

  • Diagnostic scan to identify potential electronic faults early
     

Replacement items (where required)

Some items may be replaced as part of the service schedule, or as needed:

  • Spark plugs

  • Air filter

  • Fuel filter

  • Pollen/cabin filter

Note: Pollen filters, spark plugs and fuel filters may incur an additional cost if required for your specific vehicle.
