A car service is a preventative measure, which can ensure your vehicle is running safely and smoothly.
The cost of a car service in the UK can vary depending on the make and model of the car, and the type of service you wish to book.
Generally speaking, the bigger the car, the more expensive the service - and EV servicing can cost less than servicing an ICE vehicle.
Based on bookings made through BookMyGarage, an interim service could cost you an average price of £189, a full service could cost £234, and a major service could cost £314.

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.
