Reviews Summary

AI Generated

Most customers praise the garage for friendly, helpful staff, clear communication and fast, professional MOTs and services — many value the underside health‑check videos, timely updates and competitive pricing. Recurring negatives include unclear or high repair costs, confusing bills and occasional pressure to approve extra work, with a few serious complaints about damage, refusals to release keys and booking issues via third‑party sites. The balance of reviews is positive, but the handful of significant adverse experiences suggests getting quotes in writing and a second opinion before agreeing to extra repairs.

Mobile Car Service in Durham

If you struggle to find time to take your car into a local garage for its servicing, book an appointment with a mobile mechanic. They come to you and complete your servicing at a time and place that suits you. Here are a few of the benefits of booking a mobile car service in Durham:

 

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.

 

If you think a mobile car service will benefit you, enter your vehicle reg and postcode to compare instant prices from mobile mechanics near you.

 

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

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 Durham 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.

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 Durham. 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 Durham?

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
