Car Servicing BRIGHTON & HOVE
Prolonging Vehicle Life
Regular car servicing is essential for prolonging the life of your vehicle, enhancing its performance, and improving fuel efficiency. While an MOT test is a legal requirement focused on road safety and environmental standards, a car service is a thorough inspection of your vehicle's mechanical components. Keeping these components in optimal condition via regular servicing reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

A standard car service typically includes an oil and filter change, brake check, tyre inspection, fluid level checks (including coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid), and a general inspection of key components such as lights, wipers, and the exhaust system.
Most manufacturers recommend a full service every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. This depends on your vehicle’s make and model and driving habits. Always refer to your vehicle's owner’s manual for specific guidelines.
The time required for a car service depends on the type of service. Usually, an interim service takes about 1 to 2 hours, while a full service can take 3 to 4 hours. Additional time may be needed if repairs or replacements are required.
Yes, even if you don't drive your car frequently, it still requires regular servicing. Fluids can degrade, tyres can lose pressure, and components can wear out over time, even if it is not in regular use. Regular servicing ensures your car remains in good working order.
While some basic maintenance tasks like topping up fluids or changing the air filter can be done by car owners, a full service involves complex checks and adjustments that should be carried out by a qualified technician. DIY servicing could also void your vehicle’s warranty if not done correctly.
If your car fails its MOT during a service, we will provide a list of the issues that need to be addressed. You must have these repairs completed before the car can pass the MOT. Many service centres offer the option to carry out repairs and retest the vehicle on-site.
