How to Book a Major Service Near You

1. Enter your vehicle reg and postcode.
2. Compare deals. You can sort local garages by whatever best suits your needs: price, distance, reviews and ratings or availability.
3. Pick a date and time for your appointment.

After you book your major service, we send you a confirmation email with a summary of your booking. We also inform the garage, who may also be in touch to confirm the appointment or to ask for extra details.

You never pay for your booking until after all the work has been completed and deal with the garage directly after the initial booking process. You also have the ability to change or cancel your booking for free until the day of your appointment.

When Should I Book a Major Service?

We recommend booking an oil and filter change every 5,000 miles or 6 months, an interim service every 6 months or 6,000 miles, a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles and a major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles.

You should book your next service after whichever interval comes first for best results.
