What Does A Full Service Include?

A full car service in Peterborough includes a routine check to assess any damage or signs of wear and tear. The team will ensure everything on your car is working. This includes checking fluid levels in your engine to ensure the air conditioning system is working properly. Nothing is missed.

Our car service in Peterborough includes the following:

  • Oil change and brake tightening
  • Engine diagnostics
  • Exterior lights check
  • Cabin filter change
  • Tyre size and condition check
  • Exhaust system check
  • Air filter change
  • Thorough check of the vehicle

What is the difference between an MOT and a service in Peterborough?

Many people think that there is no difference between a service and an MOT, when this is not the case. An MOT will cover everything that needs to work in order for the car to be road legal. As to where a service will check everything is working efficiently. This ensures not only that your car is road legal, but that everything is working, even if it’s not required by law.

As part of our car servicing in Peterborough, we will ensure that everything works and will continue to work in the future.

How Often Should I Service My Vehicle?

We recommend getting your vehicle serviced once a year or every 12,000 miles. However, this is just a rough guide; it depends on the car and how you drive it.

For high-mileage drivers who cover 2,000 miles a month, we would recommend a 6-month interim service alongside your annual full service. This ensures that items that are prone to wearing down, such as your oil, filters, and brake pads, are checked before they reach a critical state.

If you are unsure when your car was last serviced, you can always check your service book to see its history. Although this does not account for any services that people have done themselves.

Should I Service And MOT My Car At The Same Time?

We can service and MOT your car all in one go, keeping it simple and easy for you. Although we recommend that for older cars (over 6 years old), you stagger your MOT and service. Having one every 6 months keeps your car road legal and saves you from any surprises that have been brewing under the bonnet for a year.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    How long does a full service take to do?

    At ATD, a car service takes around 3 hours. Although this does depend on a couple of factors, such as whether you’re having an interim or complete service, as well as how many components need to be assessed. Our team of experts will give you a quote and time estimate in advance.

    Being located in the Fengate industrial park and very close to the city centre, you can leave your car with us while you take care of any business in town.

    Can my car fail a service?

    No, your car cannot fail a service like it does an MOT. This is because a service is a maintenance check and not checking the car for it being road legal. Our team will make suggestions for parts that might need replacing and when they need to be replaced.

    Do you need to service your car every year?

    You do not need to service your car every year; however, it’s highly recommended that you get your car serviced every 12 months or every 12,000 miles. This keeps your car safe and also avoids any unexpected, costly repairs.

    Can you service your own car?

    You can service parts of your own car, but it’s important to stress that regular car maintenance should not be confused with a car service. Checking your engine fluid levels, tyre depth, and tyre pressure is regular car maintenance that you should be doing even if you get it regularly serviced. Although you can do your own service, it’s recommended that you get safety-critical work, like your brakes, done by professionals.

    Doing your own service also doesn’t give you an official stamp for your service record book, which can have an impact if you plan on selling the car. Getting our experts to service your car in Peterborough gives you a stamp for your record book, which could increase its value if you plan on selling it.
