Mobile Car Service in Colchester

If you struggle to find time to take your car into a garage for its service, why not book an appointment with a local mobile mechanic? They come to you at a time and place that suits you, so you can keep your vehicle moving and your life on track. Here are just some of the benefits of a mobile car service in Colchester:

 

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.

 

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

It’s usually only once a year but it has to be done - so which garage do you book your car's servicing with? The one around 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 Colchester 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 in Colchester 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 after your car servicing.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is a Car Service?

A car service is a routine health check for your vehicle, completed by a local garage in Colchester. 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

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.

How Often Should I Book a Car Service in Colchester?

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

Where Can I Find a Reliable Car Service Centre in Colchester?

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 Colchester. However, not every service centre will be right for you or your vehicle, so it’s vital that you carefully compare garages based on their reviews if you want to find the most reliable option near you.

Are There Any Car Service Centres Open on Weekends in Colchester?

Many service centres in Colchester open on weekends, making it easier to fit your servicing needs around your busy life or unfavourable working hours.

To see which service centres are open on weekends, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site. You can then check the opening hours of every garage through the Availability tab on their listing. This will then allow you to compare eligible garages to find the perfect one for you and book the best deal in just a few steps.

What Are the Signs That My Car Needs Servicing in Colchester?

The most obvious sign that your car needs a service is the presence of the service light. This will illuminate orange on your dashboard, informing you that your car is due its annual service.

Other signs that your car is due a car service include:
• Reduced fuel economy, meaning you fill up the fuel tank more often
• Poor quality engine oil
• Poor performance when driving normally
• Other dashboard warning lights illuminating

Your car may also be due a service if you haven’t booked one in the last 12 months or 12,000 miles. This is the most common service interval, so if you haven’t booked a service for your vehicle recently, or notice any of these other signs, we recommend entering your reg and postcode into our comparison site to compare deals and book an appointment at a local garage.

How Do I Maintain My Car Between Services in Colchester?

The best way to maintain your car between services is to drive sensibly. Don’t brake or accelerate hard over a prolonged period, change gears smoothly and at the correct times. You should also avoid potholes where possible and drive slowly over speed bumps. You should also fill up with fuel when the needle reaches a quarter of a tank to avoid the negative effects of running your vehicle on an empty tank.

You can also maintain your car by regularly checking key components such as the oil, screen wash, tyres, brakes and lights. This will ensure the fluids are always topped up and the key parts of your vehicle are running correctly.

You can find additional information about keeping your vehicle well-maintained at home on our blog.

What Should I Do If My Car is Showing Warning Lights in Colchester?

If your car is showing a service warning light on the dashboard, you should book the correct service as soon as possible. This is generally a full service which should be booked every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

If your car is showing the engine management warning light, you will need to book a diagnostic check. This dashboard light covers a variety of faults, some of which are more severe than others. A technician will be able to interpret the fault code and provide a solution to remove the light and get your car running perfectly again.

If you’re seeing any other dashboard warning light, you should consult your vehicle handbook to identify which warning light it is and then seek help from a local garage accordingly.

You can book all these services at a garage in Colchester by entering your reg and postcode into our comparison site and selecting the product you need.
