This service is also known as an Intermediate service & is generally carried out once a year in rotation with an Annual service.

If your car is under warranty you do not have to take it back to the main dealer for servicing or repairs! Government legislation passed in 2003 known as “block exemption” means that an independent garage can now carry out your servicing/repairs & the warranty is still protected. We will only use genuine parts of original equipment standard, which means all cars are repaired with approved parts. We will never substitute cheap alternatives. We will never use oil of a lesser quality than semi synthetic.

Our services are so comprehensive that in certain circumstances I.e. “low mileage users” it is possible to have 2 interim services in a row instead of a major – stretching the major service interval to 18 months. Therefore reducing costs to you the motorist. If you plan on keeping the car longer than 4 years as it is good engineering practice to replace your engine oil, engine filter, fuel filter & air filter at least once a year.

Brakes & suspension are checked on our Interim service.

We only charge you for the parts & service you need! A car service/repair with us can save you up to 60% off of main dealer prices because you are not paying for a Sales showroom, Courtesy cars or an apparently “Free” Valet or Collection & delivery service. Why pay for something that you don’t need?  

No repair work is carried out without your prior approval, one of our advisors will contact you at every point to ensure that repair bills don’t spiral out of control & you are aware of what is happening with your car.

Please feel free to compare our service with your vehicle manufacturer & other servicing garages, you will see that our services are more comprehensive, good quality & much better value for money.

Every car service/repair we carry out is covered by 12 months or 12000 miles parts & labour warranty.
