Which Factors Influence Average Car Service Prices?

The price of a car service will depend on the make and model of your car, the engine size and the rates that a garage charges.  

It will also depend on the type of service that you choose – interim is the cheapest service and major is the most expensive.  

You could end up paying more for your service depending on your current mileage, where you live, and the nature of any repairs that your vehicle needs.  

 

If you can't remember the last time you booked a car service or your next one is due, make sure you compare and save with BookMyGarage.

Drivers can save up to 70% on their car service by comparing deals on our online comparison site and choosing one of the lower-cost options.
