Frequently asked questions for Car Services
Why do I need to get my car serviced regularly?
Getting your car serviced regularly will ensure key vehicle components such as brakes, steering, suspension and tyres are all in safe working order. Plus, when it comes to selling your car, a vehicle that has been regularly serviced is more likely to have a higher resale value.
How often do I need a car service?
We recommend that you get your car serviced according to the manufacturer's service interval. You can find details of this in your owner's manual or online - it's best to check for your own make and model as advice differs between cars.
