Car Servicing in Aldridge & Walsall
Interim, full and major services from £89, carried out to your manufacturer’s schedule — at a fraction of main dealer prices.
Servicing that keeps your car reliable
Regular servicing is the cheapest motoring you will ever do. Fresh oil, clean filters and a proper inspection catch small problems while they are still small — a £15 filter now instead of a £1,500 engine later.
We service all makes and models at our Aldridge workshop, always to the manufacturer's schedule for your specific vehicle, and we use quality oil and filter options to suit every budget.
Which service does my car need?
Interim service
Best for high-mileage drivers, or roughly every six months or 6,000 miles. Covers engine oil and filter, plus a safety inspection of brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension and fluid levels.
Full service — from £89
The annual service most drivers need, typically every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Everything in the interim service plus air filter, more extensive checks across the vehicle, and a detailed report of anything wearing.
Major service
Usually every two years. Adds longer-life items such as spark plugs, fuel filter and other manufacturer-scheduled replacements.
Not sure which you are due? Ring us with your registration and mileage on 01922 459304 and we will tell you straight.
Will servicing here affect my warranty?
No. Under EU and UK Block Exemption rules, you are entitled to have your vehicle serviced at an independent garage without voiding the manufacturer's warranty, provided the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts of matching quality.
We cater for vehicles still under dealership warranty by using OE-spec parts and stamping your service book — protecting your warranty while saving you a considerable amount against main dealer pricing.
Service or MOT — what is the difference?
People often assume the two overlap. They do not. An MOT is a legal roadworthiness test: it tells you whether the car met minimum safety and emissions standards on the day. It does not change your oil, and it does not tell you a component is close to failing.
A service is preventative maintenance — replacing consumables and spotting wear before it becomes a breakdown or an MOT failure. Most drivers book both at once, which is the sensible approach.
Honest pricing, no surprises
You will get a clear quote before we touch anything. If we find something extra while the car is with us, we ring you and explain it — we never carry out unauthorised work and then present a bill. Have a look at our full price list to see where you stand.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a car service cost?
Our full servicing starts from £89. The exact price depends on your vehicle’s make, model and engine, because oil grades and filter costs vary. Ring us with your registration and we will give you a firm price up front.
How often should I service my car?
As a general rule, a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. High-mileage drivers benefit from an interim service in between. Your handbook will give the manufacturer’s specific schedule.
Will an independent garage void my new car warranty?
No. Block Exemption rules mean you can use an independent garage without losing your manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the service follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses parts of equivalent quality. We use OE-spec parts and stamp your service book.
Is a service the same as an MOT?
No. An MOT is a legal safety and emissions test that shows whether the car met minimum standards on the day. A service is preventative maintenance — changing oil and filters and spotting wear early. Most people book both together.
Can I wait while the car is serviced?
Many services can be completed while you wait, depending on the work involved and how busy the workshop is. Let us know when booking and we will do our best to arrange it.
