That’s why we recommend booking an interim service if you’re looking for a cost-effective 6-monthly stopgap between annual full services. This 25-point check inspects your car’s most crucial components, keeping you moving smoothly for less.

If you cover more than 12,000 miles a year, regularly use your vehicle for towing or often cover short trips in stop-start traffic, book an interim service now to keep your high-mileage vehicle in top condition.

Find the Best Deal on Your Interim Service with BookMyGarage.com

If that’s just what you’re looking for, finding the right garage to complete your interim service becomes your next priority. But if the thought of ringing round every local option to find a slot fills you with dread, you might settle for sub-standard service or an inflexible appointment that doesn’t put you first.

Not with BookMyGarage.com.

We do all the heavy lifting for you to provide a comprehensive comparison of interim service prices near you. This means you can always find and book the best deal at your perfect garage in seconds, even if you don’t know anything about car maintenance.

Here are some of the ways we help you do that.

 

Like-for-Like Service Pricing to Ensure a Fair Comparison

There’s nothing worse than comparing inequal service offerings. But with every garage offering a different number of checks and calling the same service different names, that’s exactly what happens when you try to compare garages yourself.

And that makes it difficult to get the very best deal.

We offer a better way: each garage on our platform prices their services against the same schedule to ensure like-for-like comparison.

That means when you choose the cheapest interim service near you, you can relax in the knowledge that you’ve got the best price.

 

Flexible Booking & Appointment Options to Ensure Your Interim Service Revolves Around You

You’re busy between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, so the last thing you want is to waste your lunch break on hold to a local garage. That’s why we offer 24/7 online comparison, allowing you to book your interim service whenever you’re free – even if local service centres are shut.

Garages on our platform don’t just stop there. Many also offer same- or next-day servicing slots and we work with a growing number of mobile mechanics who provide interim servicing on your driveway. This ensures your convenience is always our priority.

And that keeps you in control of your car’s maintenance every step of the way.

 

Comprehensive Sort and Filter Options to Help You Find Your Perfect Garage with Ease

Whatever value for money looks like to you, we’re here to help you find it. With a range of sort and filter options available, everyone can find their perfect service centre in seconds.

Whether you want to find the cheapest interim service or would prefer to book at your nearest or highest rated service centre, you can order search results by Price, Distance, Availability, Reviews or even Name to do just that. If you’d rather see which local options we recommend based on a combination of these factors, you can revert to Relevance at any time.

Plus, if you’re looking to add vehicle collection and delivery or a loan car to your booking or need a same-, next-day or Saturday appointment, you can tick the relevant checkbox(es) on the left-hand sidebar to ensure you only see garages that truly meet your needs.

Get the best deal without breaking a sweat when you book your interim service through BookMyGarage.com.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is an interim service a thorough inspection?

No, an interim service is one of the most basic car services you can book. It only covers the essential safety components, acting as a 6-monthly stopgap between more thorough full and major servicing.

As such, it also is the quickest service to complete, taking 1-2 hours on average.

Despite this, you do get a thorough 25-point inspection as part of an interim service to ensure you’re fully roadworthy for the months ahead.

What gets checked during an interim service?

• Engine oil top up
• Oil filter change
• Screenwash top up
• Coolant top up
• Brake fluid top up
• Power steering fluid top up
• AdBlue top up (Diesel only)
• Lights
• Dashboard warning lights
• Horn operation
• Condition of windscreen wipers
• Condition of windscreen washers
• Any leaks & advise
• Strength of antifreeze
• Timing belt replacement intervals & advise
• Brake pads for wear (visual inspection)
• Tyre condition
• Tyre tread depth
• Tyre pressure & adjust
• Condition of steering rack gaiters
• Exhaust condition & advise
• Clutch fluid level (if applicable)
• Transmission oil leaks
• Reset vehicle service light (where applicable)
• Stamp printout of BookMyGarage service schedule

Is the checklist the same for every garage on your platform?

Yes, every garage prices their interim servicing against the same schedule. This means that whoever you choose will check the same things, allowing you to always compare like-for-like prices.

How do I find my nearest service centre?

You can select Distance from the Sort By dropdown in the top right corner to order results from nearest service centre to furthest away, based on the distance radius you have set.

If you want to narrow your options further, you can adjust the radius down to a minimum of 1 mile to find your nearest service centre.

Can I get an interim service done at home?

Yes, we have a growing number of mobile mechanics listed on our comparison site, many of whom offer interim servicing on your driveway.

If this would help you fit your car’s maintenance into your schedule better, select ‘Only Mobile Mechanics’ on the left-hand sidebar to ensure you’re only comparing mobile servicing providers.

I need my car every day of the week, can you make my service more convenient?

Your convenience is our priority, so we ensure service centres offer vehicle collection and delivery, same- or next-day appointments or Saturday slots wherever possible to make your life easier.

If you’re looking for an interim service that includes any of the above, you can tick the relevant checkbox(es) on the left-hand sidebar to ensure you’re only comparing garages that truly meet your needs.

Can I trust the service centre I’ve chosen?

We refuse to work with any service centre that doesn’t meet our high standards of customer service and car care and regularly remove any that continually let customers down.

On top of that, we show as many verified reviews as possible on each listing, detailing genuine experiences from previous customers to help you find a service centre you can trust to complete your interim service.

Can I filter garages another way to find my perfect service centre?

Yes, we offer comprehensive sort and filter options to help you find the best interim service for your needs.

You can order results by Price, Distance, Availability, Reviews or even Name to find your perfect centre, reverting to Relevance at any time to see which ones we recommend based on a combination of factors.

If you’d like to add a loan car or vehicle collection and delivery to your interim service, or want to book a Saturday, same- or next-day appointment, tick the relevant checkbox(es) on the left-hand sidebar. This will ensure you’re only comparing garages that truly meet your needs.

What are Tier badges?

Our Tier badges reward the very best UK garages, highlighting their commitment to high-quality customer service and car care. Each Silver, Gold or Top Tier garage has met our strict eligibility criteria and must maintain the highest standards to display their badge.

This means our Tiered garages are an even better option for your interim service, providing you greater value for money.

Will the price of my service change?

Every garage sets and updates their own prices, so what you see is what you’ll pay. The only reason the price of your interim service will change is if you agree to additional work with your chosen service centre directly.

Should I bother with specialist oil?

Specialist oil can be a worthwhile expense, especially if it’s recommended by your manufacturer. It can provide higher-quality protection and lubrication, keeping your car in better condition and helping to prevent any unexpected breakdowns.

If you’re unsure whether specialist oil is the right option for you, we recommend making a booking without it and speaking to your chosen service centre as they will be able to advise whether it’s worthwhile.

What is a SecretServiceTM?

SecretServiceTM offers you an exclusive discount on an interim service at a franchised dealership. These are the experts who know your vehicle best to provide the gold standard of car servicing.

To avoid diluting their brand, we hide the garage you’ve chosen behind a SecretServiceTM logo until after your booking is confirmed – just like secret hotels.

If you’re looking for even higher quality car care at an exclusive price, enter your reg and postcode to see if there is a participating SecretServiceTM dealership in your area.
