Why Regular Car Servicing in Swindon Saves You Time and Money

If you’re putting off your next car service, you’re not alone—but skipping it could cost more than you think. Here’s why regular car servicing in Swindon isn’t just a box-ticking exercise. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to keep your vehicle running safely and smoothly.

What does a car service include?

Car servicing goes beyond the standard MOT. Depending on your vehicle and its mileage, we offer:

• Major service – Oil and filter, pollen, air, fuel filter, and spark plugs
• Minor service – Oil and filter, pollen filter
• Health check – At your request
• New car inspection – Ideal for recent purchases
• Gearbox servicing and brake fluid changes available on request

We use genuine quality parts, approved oils, and service your vehicle to manufacturer spec—keeping it running smoothly and within warranty.

We now offer waiting appointments at our Swindon unit—perfect for smaller jobs or while-you-wait servicing.

Benefits of regular servicing

1. Catch issues early
   Noticed a rattle? Heard a squeak? Small problems can become costly if left. Servicing helps spot them early.
2. Improve safety
   We’ll check brakes, steering and suspension—areas critical for staying safe on the road.
3. Better fuel efficiency
   A clean air filter and properly inflated tyres can save you money at the pump.
4. Maintain resale value
   A stamped service book reassures future buyers.
5. Avoid breakdowns
   Prevention is cheaper than a tow. Enough said.

Signs your car might need a service

• Dashboard warning lights
• Rough or noisy engine performance
• Reduced fuel economy
• Vibrations or pulling when braking
• Long time since your last service

FAQs about car servicing

How often should I service my car?

Most manufacturers recommend every 12 months or 10,000 miles—whichever comes first.

How long does it take?

An interim service can take around 1.5 hours. A full service may take 2–3 hours.

Can you stamp my service book?

Yes. We’ll complete your logbook or update digital records.

Will servicing my vehicle with you affect my manufacturer’s warranty?

No — as long as the service is carried out in line with the manufacturer’s schedule and using genuine or OEM-quality parts, your warranty remains intact.

Under the Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulations (MV-BER), you have the right to choose an independent garage for servicing without losing your warranty. We always use genuine quality parts, approved oils, and follow the manufacturer’s service specifications, so your vehicle stays fully compliant with warranty requirements.

Do you service electric or hybrid vehicles?

Yes—we’re trained in hybrid servicing too. See our hybrid specialist page.
