Brake Fluid Service

This can result in brake failure. A brake fluid service is due every two years. Contact our service team to book your next brake fluid service.

Automatic Gearbox Servicing

Similar to an oil change, a transmission service is an essential part of routine car maintenance. The primary process of a transmission service is draining the old transmission fluid and replacing it with fresh fluid, replacing the transmission filter and sump pan and installing it with a new pan and gasket.

It’s recommended that an automatic transmission gearbox is serviced every 60,000 – 100,000 miles. We can carry out a service for all makes and models including; BMW, MINI, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, SEAT, SKODA and many more. For more information or pricing please contact our team and we can provide you with a quote and get you booked in.

Prices starting from £300 (Plus VAT)

WARNING: If a gearbox is left unserviced it can cause damage to your transmission.

M Power Running in Service

M Power cars require more attention due to their high-performance engines. If you’ve just purchased a shiny new M Power BMW, you’ll need to book in for a running in service after the first 1200 miles, this is strongly recommended by the manufacturer. A running in service is imperative to ensure the longevity of your M Power engine. The duties required on this type of service includes an engine oil and filter change combined with a rear differential oil change.

Prices from £150 (Plus VAT)

Warranty: As with all of our services your manufacturer’s warranty will not be effected and your digital service history will be fully updated.

Why do I need MOT and Service on my vehicle?

A vehicle MOT and Service cover a very different set of checks and are required for very different reasons. To understand why it’s needed, it’s very important to know the difference between an MOT and a vehicle service.

The MOT test is required by UK law for all cars 3 years old or more and must be carried out annually by a registered garage. The MOT test is a vehicle safety check which follows strict guidelines set out by the DVSA and can only be carried out by accredited MOT testers. An MOT test is an inspection carried out by a qualified technician and does not involve replacing any parts.

A vehicle service is more of a car health check, the content of which is recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. The main purpose of a service is to keep your car running in the best possible condition and to prolong the life of the vehicle. Car servicing is recommended in order to keep your car safe, reliable and in optimal condition.
