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.
