Most Frequently Asked Questions
1. When does my car need a service?

2. What do I need to take to my car servicing appointment?
Taking your car to be serviced is not like taking your car for its MOT. You can’t fail a service; in fact, your garage should identify any potential failure points, which can be corrected before an MOT. This is the reason drivers often book the two appointments together.
