[ "What should a car service cost and what does it include?Service is an important part of owning a car for a number of different reasons. Service is not only needed to keep your car running well but also to keep your warranty valid (both for manufacturer and aftermarket warranties).When you're trying to sell your car, a Full Car Service Loughborough history is also a big plus. It shows buyers that you've kept up with maintenance, which means you can ask for the full asking price. But many drivers don't know much about how to take care of their cars.Is a MOT different from a car service?Yes, both are often done at the same time, which is why many garages are smart enough to offer a service and a MOT as a package deal.Still, there are some significant alterations to keep in mind. Specifically, servicing your car isn't obligatory by law, but an annual MOT test is obligatory by law to make sure your car is safe to drive.Many car owners don't think their cars need to undergo servicing. Instead, they use the annual MOT test to check for problems, or they wait until a part stops working before taking the car to a garage. That makes sense. However, preventing problems is much better (and often cheaper) than fixing them when they happen. Also, the MOT test does nothing more than make sure a car is legal to drive on the road.How frequently ought you to take your car in for service?Most modern cars have a service indicator that lights up when it's time to get the car serviced. The handbook will also tell you when your car should get serviced and how often.Garages often sell their services based on how long or how many miles they should last. You probably know what interim service and full service mean. These just match what is likely to need to get changed or fixed because of normal wear and tear.What are the parts of a car service?What's included in a car service depends on the shop you go to and the type of service you pay for. All of your car's services will consist of visual checks, such as looking for damage on the outside, just like a MOT. Things like your brakes and gearbox will also get checked. Checks will be on your charging port and connectors if you have an electric or hybrid car.During a car service, the engine oil, the oil filter, the lights, the tyres, the bodywork, the exhausts, the brakes, the steering, the fluid and coolant levels, the suspension, and the 12V battery can all get checked. During your service, your garage will replace worn parts and fluids. The number of new parts and fluids you get depends on the type of service you book.How much will it cost to get your car to undergo servicing?The average price of car service can be different from one garage to the next and from one part of the country to another. Prices will vary the most at independent garages, but they will be cheaper than at the primary dealer.A short-term service might cost between 75 and 125. A full service might cost more than 150. Some parts that need to undergo replacement won't pass through the cost of the service. It's also important to remember that your warranty is only valid if you follow the service schedule for your car.Do you have to take your car to a dealer authorised by the car's maker for service?No, you don't have to get your car fixed at the main dealer or somewhere similar. If you'd rather have an independent garage take care of your car's maintenance, you'll need to keep careful records of the work done in case you need to make a warranty claim. Basically, you'll need to be able to show that the work was thru according to the manufacturer's instructions, such as by using original parts. Most of the time, the proof will be a written bill.Getting your car serviced by a dealer that is appropriate for the car's maker is a good idea for a number of reasons. For example, buyers are more likely to want to buy a car with a full-stamped dealer history than one without one. This means that you are more likely to get the full asking price when you sell or trade in the car.When you take your car to a manufacturer-approved dealer for service, the people who work on it have been proficient in the factory's standards and MOT Loughborough. Carmakers also often send out software updates that improve your car's infotainment, engine, and/or gas mileage. A garage that is not part of the dealer network may not have access to these manufacturer-approved upgrades. If your cars servicing is outside the dealers network, it may miss out on these benefits.To know more, do reach out to us." ]
