Basic car service FAQs
A basic car service is a practical and cost-effective way to maintain your vehicle’s performance and reliability, especially if you use your car frequently or subject it to demanding conditions.
If you’re racking up high mileage, navigating daily city traffic, or driving an older vehicle that needs more attention, a basic service helps catch minor issues before they become costly repairs. It includes essential checks such as an oil and filter change, which can make a noticeable difference to your car’s handling, fuel efficiency and overall driving experience.
Regular servicing also supports better engine health, lowers the risk of breakdowns, and can help extend the lifespan of your car, giving you peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.
Prices start at £79. If any issues are found during the check, we'll always contact you for approval before carrying out additional work. Prices may vary depending on vehicle type, engine size, or required repairs.
A basic service usually takes 1–2 hours. Please bring your locking wheel nut and service booklet. If repairs are needed, we’ll let you know and give you an estimated completion time.
No, an MOT is a legally required annual test of your vehicle to ensure its roadworthiness. You aren't allowed to drive on UK roads without a valid MOT certificate, but you can drive with or without car servicing. A basic car service or check is a recommended extra step to take if you use your car a lot and don't do regular DIY maintenance tasks yourself.
Yes, our basic car services include changing oil and oil filters to help protect your engine from overheating and other damage. Old or contaminated oil can make your car less efficient and cause unnecessary wear and tear on your internal components.
It depends on if you get other types of servicing done, how much you use your vehicle and how much DIY maintenance you do. Our basic car service takes the hassle out of looking after your motor, especially if you don't want to do the dirty work yourself. If you rack up the miles, a regular basic car check can help to keep everything running smoothly and allow our experts to spot any signs of disrepair.
To get the best value from your car maintenance, Protyre offers a great deal when you book an MOT and service together. It's not just financially beneficial, you'll be able to cut down on trips to the garage and avoid all the extra admin too. With one trip, you can sort your MOT for another year and have basic car maintenance done at the same time.
If you've already had a full car service or interim car service earlier in the year, or simply want a quick oil change and inspection before the MOT, our 27-point inspection will give you greater confidence that your car will pass.
