Car Service in Loughborough – General Information
Regular car servicing can extend the life of a vehicle. The reason for this is simple – defects are found before they become catastrophic. A small investment in routine car servicing and repair, plus a good inspection program results in a good return on that investment due to:
Reduced cost of repairs over the life of the vehicle
Reducing unforeseen and possible breakdown risks
Reduced vehicle time off the road
The possibility of increased product life
Less inconvenience and less unforeseen expense
Less likelihood of car accidents
The possibility of greater fuel economy
For example, tyres can last longer, brake discs do not become scored and in need of replacement.
We offer a choice of either vehicle manufacturer servicing schedules or our own superb value menu service programmes, which car servicing program is best for you?
Interim Service
This interim service/ checkup is designed as a low-cost service for both high mileage car users who wants an interim service between annual full services and the very low mileage users who want annual servicing but do not need a full service. Included are an oil and filter change and a wide range of checks on the fundamental items.
Full Service
A full car servicing covers all the same tests in the interim service, in addition, there are more points of interest. Usually included will be top-ups of the brake fluid and antifreeze, more brake tests, inspection of the engine, wheel bearings and shock absorbers. Replacement of pollen filters/inspection of the air conditioning system is normally included too.
