How Do I Choose the Best Garage For My Car Service in Hove?

FAQs

What is a Car Service?

A car service is a routine health check for your vehicle, completed by a local garage. 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 Often Should I Book a Car Service in Hove?

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

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.
