Interim Servicing, Devon

Keeping your vehicle performing at its best isn’t just about major repairs or full annual services. An interim service provides the essential checks, top‑ups, and preventative maintenance that keep your car running smoothly between major service intervals. At Harts of Honiton, we offer comprehensive interim servicing in Devon designed to protect your engine, extend component life, and give you complete confidence on every journey.

Whether you’re a high‑mileage driver, preparing for a long trip, or simply committed to looking after your vehicle, our interim service offers a practical, cost‑effective way to stay ahead of wear and tear. As a trusted local dealership with decades of experience, we combine manufacturer‑approved processes with a friendly, transparent approach that keeps our customers coming back year after year.

Why Choose an Interim Service?

An interim service is ideal for drivers who cover significant mileage or want peace of mind between annual services. It focuses on the most important safety and performance elements of your vehicle, ensuring everything is working as it should.

Benefits of an Interim Service

  • Improved engine health: Fresh oil and filters help your engine run more efficiently and reduce long‑term wear.

  • Better fuel economy: A well‑maintained engine uses less fuel, saving you money over time.

  • Enhanced safety: Key components such as brakes, tyres, and steering are checked for early signs of issues.

  • Reduced repair costs: Identifying problems early prevents more expensive repairs later.

Harts of Honiton Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Harts of Honiton Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

 

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes MotoNovo Finance. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to MotoNovo Finance, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and MotoNovo Finance may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
