What is a car service?

A service is a vital part of vehicle maintenance that is completed by a qualified mechanic. Simply put, it’s a health check for your vehicle that assesses the functions of your car and keeps you safe on the road. At P&J Garage Services, our car services include checking parts for wear and tear such as brakes, oil, filters and the engine belt. A service can help identify any issues before they cause a breakdown and are vital to prolonging the life of your car.

What types of car service are there?

There are several types of car service which include different checks: an Interim Service, a Full Service and a Major Service. As the ‘middle of the road’ option, a full service is typically the most popular type of car service in the UK.

Interim Car Service

An interim service is recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles – whichever comes sooner. An interim car servicing checklist includes:

  • Checking lights, brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, and all fluid levels. 
  • Visual checks on your car and wheels.
  • Oil change.
  • Oil filter replacement.
  • Inspect the drive belt.

Why is car servicing important?

Getting your car serviced is important to owning a vehicle and keeping it running smoothly. Here’s why car servicing is so important…

Prevents breakdowns

By inspecting your vehicle, a mechanic can identify and replace parts that may be near to breaking or malfunctioning. For example, dirty oil or clogged filters can be detrimental to your engine, but can easily be spotted and rectified during a service.

Increase the value of your vehicle

A recent report by AutoTrader stated that selling a car with a full service history can increase its value by up to 20%! If you have the full service history of your vehicle, potential buyers will be more likely to pay the asking price.

Keeps you safe

In addition to annual MOTs, regular car services will keep you safe on the road. Troubleshooting any minor issues before they become bigger (and more expensive) issues ensures that your car is roadworthy and you are safe.

Lowers your fuel costs

A car service can lower the amount of money you spend on fuel by making sure that your car is performing as it should. Ensuring that your engine, tyres and more are performing well will go a long way in saving you money.
