An interim service can help to preserve and protect your car for longer, and allow you to stay on top of maintenance between more comprehensive full car services that you're recommended to do annually. It's a cost-effective way to let the experts take care of your motor and perform essential maintenance tasks so you don't have to.

A full car service is the only package that checks all aspects of your car though.
Booking your MOT and interim car service together saves you time and money. You’ll only need one garage visit, and we’ll inspect your car before the MOT test to give you extra confidence that it'll pass.
