How Do I Choose the Best Garage for My Car Service in Canterbury?

It’s usually only once a year but it has to be done - so where do you take your car for its service? To the garage round the corner because it’s the nearest, even though you don’t really understand what they tell you? To the place your friend recommends, even though it charges more than most Canterbury garages? Or to a big, national chain garage - you’d rather support an independent but you feel safer with a big brand?

BookMyGarage can give you the confidence to book differently.

You’ll find garages near you rated by other car owners, with transparent, immediate details of their prices and services. As every garage on our comparison site sets its prices itself, you'll never experience a nasty surprise at the end of your car service. Plus, you can save up to 70% on your car servicing cost by comparing deals and choosing a lower-cost option.

Frequently asked questions

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.
A car service is a routine health check for your vehicle, completed by a local garage in Canterbury. 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
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
Franchised dealerships generally use original parts during a manufacturer's service, while independent garages use aftermarket or OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) parts as they are cheaper and easier to source.

If you book a car service in Canterbury through BookMyGarage.com, you are more likely to receive aftermarket parts, even if you book a SecretServiceTM at a franchised dealership. This is because you aren't booking a manufacturer service.
Yes, you may be able to get a courtesy car while your vehicle is in a local garage for its annual service. This depends on a garage’s availability and whether they offer this service.

If you need a courtesy car during your service in Canterbury, enter your reg and postcode and then tick the box on the left-hand side marked ‘Loan Car’. This will ensure you only see comparison results for garages that offer this service and update the price of your booking to include the cost of this service (if a garage has indicated they charge extra for it).
There are a growing number of mobile mechanics listed on our comparison site who offer mobile Interim, Full and Major services on your driveway or at your place of work.

If you are looking for mobile car servicing in Canterbury, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and tick the box on the left-hand side marked ‘Show Mobile Garages Only’. This will filter the results for you to only show mobile mechanics in your area.
If you urgently need a car service, you may be able to get a same-day appointment in Canterbury based on the garage’s availability. If a garage has indicated they can take same-day bookings, the ‘Next Available From’ will show today’s date. You can also quickly filter the results in your area to show only garages which accept same-day bookings by changing the ‘Available Before’ date on the left-hand side to the current date.

It may be easier to book a same-day car service at different times of the year, depending on demand.

While garages on our comparison site set their availability themselves, and are encouraged to update it regularly, we recommend contacting the garage directly if you have booked a same-day service in Canterbury to ensure they can carry out the appointment and save yourself additional stress.

Please note that there is no legal requirement to book a car service so, if you're trying to book an urgent car service because you can see the orange servicing light, you don't need to stress out about it. Make sure you book a service as soon as possible, but this can be for 1-2 weeks' time, depending on a garage's availability.
If you want to find the most reliable service centre in your area, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site. We show you all your options in one place, along with verified, unfiltered reviews to help you make the most informed decision. That way, you get the peace of mind you deserve and can find the best deal at the same time.

Nearly every garage offers car servicing, so there are always going to be plenty of options to choose from in Canterbury.
