Your Car Service in the New Forest

Although a car service is not legally required like an MOT is, it is equally important to your safety. A car service in the New Forest allows mechanics to pick up on problems that may worsen with time, which gives you the opportunity to fix them before they turn into pricey repairs or cause an accident. It is recommended you have a full service every 12 months, a major service every 24 months, and if you drive over 24,000 miles a year, you should consider an interim service bi-yearly.

Benefits Of Your Car Service

As well as ensuring your car is safe as can be, getting your car service in the New Forest has a number of benefits. A service decreases your fuel costs, as it ensures everything is running as efficiently as possible. Plus, a car with a full service history is worth 20% more than one without it, which means should you decide to sell your vehicle, you can get more money for it. Car servicing can help prevent expensive repair costs by identifying issues before they devolve into something more serious. What could be a quick fix has the potential to cause damage to your car over time, hiking up the cost of the repair.

What Happens During your Car Service?

Your car service includes essential checks that are needed to ensure your car is safe. We’ll check, top up and change all your oils and fluids as needed, as well as inspect your brakes and tyres for wear. We’ll check your windshield and your lights, the condition of your numberplate and seatbelts, as well as replace the oil and air filters. If you book a major service, which we recommend every 24 months, we’ll also check the operation of your doors and bonnet and look at both the air con systems and the pollen filter.
