Effortlessly Compare Like-for-Like Prices to Book the Best Major Service Deal Near You

A major service is the most comprehensive car servicing option you can book. Recommended every 24 months or 24,000 miles, it’s a rigorous safety check that ensures your car is working as efficiently as possible.

But with every garage offering different checks as part of a major service – and may calling it by a different name – how can you be sure you’re booking the best deal, finding a local service centre you can trust and ensuring your appointment meets all your needs without ringing every option near you?

Well, by comparing major service deals through BookMyGarage.com!

Does this mean every garage checks the same thing?

Yes, every garage on our platform follows the same service schedules. This ensures you always compare like-for-like prices and can find the best deal as easily as possible.

Will the price of my major service change?

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

What are the Tier badges?

Our Tier badges reward the very best UK garages, recognising their commitment to high-quality customer service and car care that goes above and beyond for local drivers.

Each Silver, Gold or Top Tier garage must meet and maintain strict eligibility criteria to display their badge which ensures an even higher-quality experience when you choose one of these service centres for your major service.

Can I trust my chosen service centre?

As part of our commitment to high-quality comparison, we refuse to work with any garage that doesn’t meet our high standards of customer service and car care. Moreover, we don’t hesitate to remove any from our platform that continually let drivers down.

With as many unfiltered reviews shown on each listing as possible and the very best UK garages rewarded with one of our Tier badges, you’ll always receive an experience you can trust when you book your major service through BookMyGarage.com.

How do I filter options to find the best deal for my needs?

You can re-order results by Price, Distance, Availability, Reviews or Name using the Sort By dropdown in the top right corner to help you find the cheapest, nearest or highest-rated major service near you. We also offer the ability to revert to Relevance at any time to see which options we recommend based on a combination of these factors.

If there’s something specific you need during your appointment, such as vehicle collection and delivery or a mobile major service, select the relevant checkbox on the left-hand sidebar to ensure you’re only comparing options that truly meet your needs.

Can I get my car serviced at home?

Yes, we work with a growing network of mobile mechanics who offer major servicing on your driveway.

Simply select ‘Only Mobile Mechanics’ on the left-hand sidebar to compare prices from local mobile service providers and book the best deal near you.

I need my car every day of the week, is there a way I can fit my major service into my schedule?

You may be able to book a Saturday appointment at a local centre, with many garages on our platform offering weekend appointments to make your life a bit easier.

Select a specific date from the calendar on the left-hand sidebar to compare local garages with Saturday availability.

Alternatively, you can add a loan car or vehicle collection and delivery to your booking to ensure you better fit regular maintenance into your busy life.

How often should I book a major car service?

We recommend booking a major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Ideally, you would book a major service every other year as part of your vehicle’s regular maintenance. This schedule ensures your car is always in top condition, as well as remaining safe and roadworthy.

It also ensures you have a full service history to help retain its resale value when you look to sell it on.
