High-mileage drivers and the six-month interim
If you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, a yearly service alone may leave too long a gap. Drivers from Blurton who cover plenty of miles for work, family or simply because the job is not nearby often benefit from an interim service roughly halfway between the bigger ones. Pairing the two intervals sensibly keeps wear from creeping up unseen.
Our interim service covers oil and filter, fluid levels, battery, cooling and brakes, plus tyres, steering, suspension, exhaust, lights and wipers, which makes it a practical way to keep a busy car healthy. We inspect, then explain the results, and leave decisions about further work to you. Nothing is begun until you have agreed it, so there are no unwelcome surprises on the invoice.
Mileage is what separates a gentle year from a hard one. A car that covers 15,000 miles in twelve months has done far more than the standard service guide assumes, and oil, brake pads and tyres are using up their lives accordingly. For Blurton drivers who are out regularly, the sensible rhythm is often an interim around halfway, then a full service, then a major service as the maker's schedule demands. If you are not sure where your car is up to, bring the service book. Blurton is 4 miles from us.

Many higher-mileage drivers choose an interim at around the half-year mark between full services. The manufacturer's schedule comes first, so check the handbook or let us advise. Bring service records if you have any. Tell us roughly how many miles you cover each year and we will suggest a pattern that suits.
A full service is a comprehensive inspection and service, usually yearly. A major service adds further items on top, set by mileage and age, for example brake fluid and additional filters. We explain which applies before we start.
Yes. A health check is a quick overall look at the car's condition and can help you decide what to book. We go through the results with you, and you choose what happens next. It is a useful way to start if you are unsure.
