What is Car Servicing, and Why Does it Matter?

Car servicing is the simple, crucial process of routinely checking and maintaining your vehicle to ensure it stays safe, reliable, and efficient. Unlike an MOT, which is a legal requirement, servicing is about preventing problems before they start. When you come to us for car servicing in Northampton, you help guard against potential breakdowns, catch small issues early, and support your car's performance and longevity. Regular, professional care not only saves money in the long term but keeps you safe every mile you travel.

  • Servicing schedules vary depending on how much you drive, but as a general rule, we recommend an interim service every 6 months or 6,000 miles, and a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
  • Regular servicing can reduce overall repair costs by catching small problems early.
  • Minimise the risk of unforeseen breakdowns and expensive repairs.
  • Keep your car off the road for less time, meaning less disruption to your routine.
  • Improved fuel efficiency and lower running costs.
  • Extend the lifespan of vital parts like tyres and brakes, preventing expensive replacements later.
