And if you go with the garage that's closest to you, there's no guarantee their work is top quality or comes without surprise fees. With Garage.co.uk, everything's centralised and tailored to you. So, without calling 10 different places and shuffling through 100s of reviews, you can be 100% confident you're getting the best deal.

Book emergency services in seconds

Guarantee quick responses in time-sensitive matters by using our priority booking service for emergency services and repairs (even without breakdown cover). Whether your car unexpectedly breaks down on the side of the road or you just need a last-minute MOT test before your holiday trip, we've got you covered. You can search results by same-day availability, open on weekends or holidays, and urgent services provided.

Transparent pricing upfront

Garages listed on our platform are upfront with their pricing. For every garage you're considering, you'll receive a personalised video quote with an itemised breakdown of what you'll pay for the service, parts, and labour. That way, you're completely informed about costs before you even reserve your car servicing, and you won't have to worry about billing surprises on the day of your service. We recommend getting quotes from multiple garages and comparing them side by side.

Dedicated support from our team

You won't just get support from the garage you wind up going with. You'll also have access to our dedicated team, who can help you with any questions or concerns you have throughout the booking and servicing process. On an ongoing basis, you can use our extensive resource library to troubleshoot any issues you're having with your car, plan for future services, and get expert tips on 100s of topics, from keeping your car in top condition to selling it.

Fast, frequent service progress updates

The garage can click and send an update through our system instead of spending several minutes calling each customer. So it's easy for them to update you quickly, frequently, and in detail. They'll track important milestones like "arrival at the facility" and "beginning to work on your car" and automatically ping you for them. You'll receive time estimates for completion, so you can plan ahead for your retrieval.

Tracking, reminders, and insights

Getting one service out of the way is just one small part of keeping your car in top condition. On your MyGarage dashboard, you can access your car history at any time and set up reminders and alerts when it's time for routine maintenance or important deadlines (like road tax payments, insurance renewal, or MOT expiry). You can even track your car's depreciation over time to determine the best time to sell or trade it in.

Which car service is best for me?

You can opt for interim, full, or major service. The type of service you need (and the frequency you need it) depends on your car's age, annual usage, and manufacturer recommendations.

FAQs about finding car servicing near you

Learn how to find reliable car servicing near you with our detailed FAQs.

What is car servicing?

Car servicing is a routine vehicle check-up and maintenance that happens every 6-12 months, depending on your car's age and manufacturer recommendations. It involves a series of checks and procedures that verify your vehicle operates safely, efficiently, and reliably. Oil and filter changes, brake inspection, tyre and fluid checks, and other systems reviews are all part of car servicing.

Why is regular car servicing important?

Regular car servicing ensures your vehicle runs at optimal efficiency, which can help improve fuel economy and lower running costs. It also surfaces potential issues early, reducing the risk of more significant, costly repairs later. By keeping your car in good condition, it extends its lifespan and maintains its value.

Maintenance is also crucial for the safety of you, your passengers, and other motorists. It verifies critical systems like brakes and steering are always functioning correctly and aren't accident-prone.

Can I service my car myself?

You can perform basic car maintenance yourself if you have the right tools and foundational knowledge of car mechanics. Common DIY service tasks include changing the oil and oil filter, replacing air filters, topping up fluids, and checking tire pressures. However, complex tasks like checking the brakes, suspension, or electrical systems will require professional skills and tools.

What are the signs my car needs to be serviced?

Signs that your car may need servicing include unusual noises, such as grinding or squealing, especially from the brakes, warning lights on the dashboard, noticeably lower performance or fuel efficiency, excessive vibrations, handling issues, and leaks or puddles underneath the car.

Should I service my car even if it's running fine?

You should always service your car according to schedule, even if it appears to be running fine. Regular maintenance can help identify and prevent potential issues from developing into serious problems. It ensures that all systems are functioning correctly and can improve your car’s longevity and resale value.

How often should I service my car?

How often you should service your car depends on your vehicle's make, model, and age, as well as the manufacturer's guidelines. It also varies based on the type of service — interim, full, or major.

As a general guideline, interim services are typically recommended every 6,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. It's suitable for high-mileage drivers who need more frequent checks to ensure their vehicle's reliability between full services.

Full service is generally advised every 12,000 miles or annually. Full services are more comprehensive and cover a wider range of checks and replacements, including filters, fluids, and a thorough inspection of the car's major systems.

Major service is the most comprehensive type of service, recommended every 24,000 miles or every two years. It includes all the checks of a full service plus additional items that may be due for replacement, such as spark plugs and other heavy-wear items.

Can I skip my scheduled car service?

Regular servicing is a proactive measure to maintain optimal vehicle performance and safety. If you skip it, you're essentially waiting for a problem to manifest, which will lead to more expensive repairs down the line. So no, you should not skip routine services.

Can I go to any mechanic for car servicing?

For basic tasks like oil changes and filter replacements, you can go to any licensed mechanic or even do it yourself. However, it's best to stick with a professional garage familiar with your car's make and model for more complex services like full or major check-ups.

If you drive a high-performance luxury car, it's advisable to go to a specialist garage with experience and expertise in that specific brand.

For vehicles under warranty, ensure that the mechanic is certified to perform services that comply with the manufacturer’s standards to avoid voiding the warranty.

How does car servicing affect resale value?

Routine servicing is one of the easiest ways to boost your car's resale value. A well-maintained vehicle with a full service history is more attractive to buyers and commands a higher price. Regular maintenance records demonstrate you've cared for the car properly, which reduces buyers' potential uncertainty and enhances your vehicle’s marketability.

Is car servicing more important for older cars?

Older cars are more likely to experience problems with wear and tear and mechanical failures. Consistent servicing helps you catch and address issues early, maintain the car’s performance, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and extend the vehicle’s lifespan. Regular maintenance checks also ensure that the car remains safe to drive as it ages.
