What Car Service Do I Need?

We recommend booking a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles and a major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) to maintain the health and roadworthiness of your vehicle.

If you regularly drive long distances or have a high annual mileage, we recommend booking an interim service at the 6-month interval between annual services to give your car a bit more TLC.

If you’re not sure what service you should book next, enter your reg, mileage details and recent service history below and we’ll recommend the best car service for your needs.

Frequently asked questions

What do the Tier badges mean?

If a garage in your area satisfies our requirements for customer service, satisfaction ratings and service excellence, we reward them with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. This marks them as a service centre that offers an even higher-quality experience, leaving you feeling totally satisfied after every appointment.

When do I pay for my car service?

We never ask for payment details upfront. Once you’ve chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying for your appointment once all the work has been done – giving you the peace of mind you deserve.

How do Colchester service centres make my life easier?

Whether you need your car on the road every day of the week or don’t have the time to take it to and from a service centre, our garages are here to help. Wherever possible, we encourage them to offer:

- A vehicle collection and delivery service
- Same- or next-day car services
- Saturday appointments

And with our comprehensive sort and filter options, we make it easy for you to choose the right garage, fast – whatever you or your car needs.

Can I compare service centres another way?

While we always aim to show you the most relevant service centres, true value looks different to everyone. If you’re after the cheapest deal or the highest rated local service centre, select the right option for your needs from the Sort By dropdown in the top right corner to compare garages by what matters most to you.

Can I reschedule my service?

Yes, you can amend your booking details right up until the appointment date via the confirmation email you received or your BookMyGarage account. Your chosen garage will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your booking.

What does 'BMG Verified' mean?

Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited and vetted by our team to ensure they meet clear service standards.

Can I keep my manufacturer warranty if I book through BookMyGarage?

If your car’s still under warranty, you must follow manufacturer schedules to keep it intact. As every service booked through our comparison site follows our industry standard service schedules rather than manufacturer guidelines, comparing garages through us is currently unsuitable for drivers looking to protect a manufacturer’s warranty.
You may be able to book a manufacturer standard service directly with a garage on our platform, but you’ll need to contact them first to confirm this is something they can provide.
