Older cars, steady care, honest advice
Burslem, often called the mother town of the Potteries, has plenty of well-loved older cars that have served their owners for years. Keeping one of these going is rarely about big spending, it is about steady attention. Regular servicing is the most dependable way to stop age-related wear becoming a breakdown. Many cars here are cared for by owners who have used the same routes for decades.
When a Burslem car comes to Salem Street, we begin with an inspection and a straight conversation about its age, mileage and history. We then suggest interim, full, major or manufacturer-schedule servicing to suit, and flag anything that looks tired. You decide what goes ahead, and we do not carry out additional work without your approval.
Older vehicles tend to reveal their needs gradually: a slightly softer brake pedal, a small leak, a battery that takes a moment longer to turn the engine. In a town where many people keep their cars for a long time, those small signs are worth acting on. A major service can be especially relevant when a car has reached the age or mileage where extra filters, spark plugs on petrol engines or brake fluid come due. Our garage is 3 miles from Burslem.
Servicing follows your vehicle, its mileage and its manufacturer schedule rather than a one-size checklist.

A major service adds items by mileage or age, such as extra filters, spark plugs on petrol engines and brake fluid. We check against the manufacturer's schedule to see whether yours is due. Ask us at booking if you are unsure which applies.
Yes. We inspect it first and suggest a sensible level of service. Without records, a fuller check is often wise, and we explain our reasoning before you agree to anything. Records make that decision much easier.
Yes, both can be done together, which saves a second journey. We explain any advisory items and any repairs needed, and only proceed with your approval. We simply need your agreement first. Bring the paperwork you have, because it helps us judge what has been done.
