What Is a Full Service?

A full service is a comprehensive inspection and maintenance package designed to keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently for the year ahead. It goes far beyond the essential checks included in an interim service, covering a wider range of components, systems, and consumables.

A full service is typically recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first), though this can vary depending on your vehicle’s age, usage, and manufacturer guidelines.

Why a Full Service Matters

  • Protects long‑term engine health by replacing key filters and fluids

  • Improves fuel efficiency through cleaner, better‑performing components

  • Reduces the risk of breakdowns by identifying issues early

  • Maintains safety standards across brakes, tyres, suspension, and steering

  • Supports resale value with a complete and up‑to‑date service history

A full service is the best way to ensure your vehicle remains reliable, efficient, and safe throughout the year.

What’s Included in Our Full Service?

Our full service covers an extensive range of checks, replacements, and adjustments to keep your vehicle performing at its best. We follow manufacturer‑approved procedures and use high‑quality or genuine parts to protect your warranty and ensure long‑lasting results.
