Servicing
Oil and Filter Change
Approx. £70.00 + VAT
The most important aspect of vehicle servicing is to ensure that the engine oil and oil filter is renewed regularly. Oil becomes contaminated and degrades over time, reducing the efficiency of the engine, and the properties of the oil can change causing wear to the engine.
(Note: there are a huge variety of oil specifications available today, we ensure only the correct oil will be used for your car; on occasion this can result slightly higher costs.)
Winter or Summer (Seasonal) Servicing
Approx. £100.00 + VAT
The next level of servicing we offer is a seasonal service, which in addition to renewing the engine oil and oil filter, we will carry out checks to your lights and engine levels, a visual check of engine components for signs of leaks etc, a check of washers and wiper blades, tyre condition and tyre pressures. We will also check the strength of your antifreeze and boiling point of the brake fluid. This will give you piece of mind that your vehicles fluids and visibility are in good condition for the season ahead.
