Book a High-Quality Van Service in London

If your London-based business relies on a van, you need to keep it on the road as much as possible. You want a dependable workhorse that ensures you’re always earning money.

That’s why it’s so important to book regular van servicing in London.

The more you use your van, the more wear and tear it will suffer. Without proper maintenance, this can lead to expensive repair bills and even more expensive delays for your business.

If you’re driving in or through central London remember that you need to arrange to pay the Congestion Charge which seeks to ease traffic in the centre of the city by levying a £11.50 daytime fee for motorists using these roads. This is in addition to the ULEZ (Ultra-Low Emission Zone) charge for the most polluting vehicles. The peripheral M25 is one of most congested motorways in the country, with variable speed limits in place for large sections and a reputation for fearsome traffic jams.

As with everything else in London, there is a bewildering choice of garages for the motorist to choose from, which is where we come in. Enter your reg and postcode to compare deals and save up to 70% when you book one of the lower-cost options on your next car service in London.

 

FAQs

What is a Car Service?

A car service is a routine health check for your vehicle, completed by a local garage. A mechanic inspects various parts of your car, checking for excessive wear and tear and recommending repairs where needed.

A car service is the best way to keep your car in good condition and helps to avoid expensive repairs and breakdowns. Some of the items assessed in a car service are:

• Tyres
• Oil
• Filter
• Brakes
• Timing Belt
• Windscreen Wipers
• Exhaust
• Suspension
• Steering System

 

What is an Interim Service?

• Usually undertaken for high mileage drivers who cover upwards of approx. 25,000 miles per year.
• Recommended to be carried out between annual services, roughly twice per year
• Covers 25 items including: oil change, testing main moving parts and brake fluid top-up

 

What is a Full Service?

• Ideal for drivers who tend to cover up to around 12,000 miles per year.
• Recommended once per year, or every 12,000 miles (whichever comes first)
• Includes a wider range of items (comprehensive checks, refills and replacements) and helps to ensure trouble-free driving.

 

What is a Major Service?

• Recommended every 24 months, or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first)
• Highest level of service, covering the most checks, refills and replacements of any type of service. It essentially includes an overall check of every aspect of your vehicle so is a vital bi-yearly car service.

 

How Often Should I Service My Car?

You should always follow the service intervals specified in your vehicle handbook. Most manufacturers recommend booking a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles - whichever comes first. They may also recommend booking interim and major services, as well as oil and filter changes, at other intervals.

The frequency of servicing depends on two factors:

• Your driving style
• Your yearly mileage

If you are an aggressive driver or you travel more than 25,000 miles a year, you may wish to service your car more often. Similarly, if your car sits around for long periods of time, you may wish to service it more often to protect it against the negative effects of disuse.

We recommend servicing your car at the following intervals:

• Interim Service every 6 months or 6,000 miles (if you have a high yearly mileage)
• Full Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles
• Major Service every 24 months or 24,000 miles

 

How Long Does A Car Service Take?

Each car service takes a different length of time, due to the differing numbers of checks. On average, a car service takes:

• Around 1 and 1/2 hours for an interim service
• Around 3 hours for a full service
• Around 4 hours or longer for a major service 

If the mechanic finds extra faults, the repair time will take longer.

 

Should I Book an MOT and Service at the Same Time?

You can see several benefits when you book your MOT and service at the same time. These include:

 

Convenience. Booking an MOT and service at the same time means your car gets the right maintenance without you finding time for separate appointments. This keeps your car on the road for longer and ensures your life stays on track.

Lower Cost. When you book an MOT and service at the same time, you may be able to secure an even lower price. Many garages offer an MOT discount when you combine it with a car service. Plus, the more thorough the service, the bigger the discount can be. Compare garages in London to see how much you can save on your car maintenance.

Reduced Chance of Breaking Down. An MOT pass certificate ensures that your car is legal for the year to come, but booking a car service at the same time offers even greater peace of mind. It is far more detailed than the MOT test, so you get a better picture of your vehicle's condition if you book them both at the same time.

 

If you’re looking for the above benefits from your car maintenance, then you should book an MOT and service in London at the same time. Enter your reg and postcode to compare garages near you and book the best deal.

 

Is it Cheaper to Book an MOT and Service Together?

Many garages in London offer a discount on their MOT price when you book a car service at the same time. That means booking an MOT and service together can make it much cheaper to keep your vehicle in good condition - so long as you choose a garage that offers a great deal.

 

What Are the Benefits of a Mobile Car Service?

Convenience - Rather than having to find time to take your car to a garage and then trying to keep your life on track without it, you can have your car service completed at a location that works best for you. This could be your driveway or a car park at work during your normal day. This helps you avoid disruption.

Flexibility - You may be able to book a mobile car service on a weekend, evening or even overnight, depending on the mobile mechanics in your area. If your schedule doesn’t really accommodate servicing at a traditional garage, this can make your life easier.

Transparency - You get to see what is happening during your mobile car service at all times. This makes it easier to trust the quality of the work and gives you the peace of mind that all the checks have been completed to the highest standard.

Cheaper - A mobile car service involves less overhead costs and expenses, so they are often at least competitively priced against, if not cheaper than most local garages.
