What's Included in a Car Service?

Every garage listed on our comparison site follows our industry-standard service schedules, whether you book an interim service, full service or major service. This ensures the same items are checked whichever garage you choose and allows for transparent, like-for-like comparison that helps you easily find the best value for your needs.

Here's exactly what each service includes:

Click Here to see the detailed breakdown.

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.

“The service and MOT carried out by Nissan Darlington was exemplary. From the minute you walk through the doors, you're treated with respect, everything is explained before any work is carried out, and the staff, from service manager, service advisor and technicians, work hard to make sure the work is carried out to your full satisfaction.”

Frequently asked questions

We recognise the very best performing garages in your area with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These badges help you spot garages that deliver customer service that goes above and beyond for drivers, offering great value, high standards and satisfaction/high ratings.
We never ask for payment details upfront.

Once you've chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.

Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.
Whether you need your car every day or simply want a hassle-free experience, our garages are here to make car care effortless. Where possible, they offer:
• Collection and delivery services
• Same- or next-day appointments
• Saturday availability

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.
Absolutely. True value looks different to everyone so, whether you want the nearest garage, the best-rated option or the lowest price, you can use the Sort By menu in the top-right corner to compare results by Price, Distance, Availability or Reviews — whatever matters most to you.
You can change your booking details right up until the appointment date. You'll find instructions in the confirmation email you received or in your BookMyGarage account. Your chosen garage will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your booking.
It's often the easiest option, as your car only needs one trip to the garage, and when you book your MOT and service together you can usually get a discount on your MOT.

You can get your MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date, so it's usually easy to line the two up.
Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited by our team and meet our clear service level agreement standards for ratings and reliability.
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.
