A proper service is about more than an oil change. A thorough service should give you a genuine picture of your car's condition, catching developing issues as well as carrying out routine maintenance.
Core items you'd expect to see covered
- Engine oil and filter change
- Checks on brakes, tyres and suspension
- Fluid levels topped up, including coolant and washer fluid
- Battery and charging system check
- Lights, wipers and visibility checks
- Exhaust and emissions check
- A written report of anything found
Why a written report matters
A good garage should give you a clear summary of what was checked, what was fine, and what might need attention soon. This helps you plan for future work rather than being caught out by an unexpected repair.
Transparency around any extra work
If something is found during a service that needs attention beyond the standard checklist, a professional garage should discuss it with you before carrying out any additional work, rather than simply adding it to the bill.
