Regular servicing is one of the simplest ways to look after your car properly. This guide brings together the key things Stoke-on-Trent drivers should know.

Interim, full and major servicing

An interim service concentrates on essential maintenance between main services. A full service is more comprehensive, and a major service goes further still, covering additional items that become due according to age and mileage.

Following the manufacturer's schedule

Manufacturer servicing is specific to the vehicle's make, model, age and mileage, rather than relying solely on a generic checklist, and following it helps ensure important maintenance items aren't missed.

Servicing and your warranty

A manufacturer generally cannot insist that routine servicing is carried out exclusively by its franchised dealer as a condition of the warranty, provided the correct schedule and appropriate parts are used and properly recorded.

Service vs MOT

An MOT and a car service are not the same thing. Your car can pass an MOT and still be overdue for servicing, since the two checks serve different purposes.
