How often should you have your car serviced?

In the industry, there’s a recommended distance between car services, of around 12,000 miles, or a recommended time between services of around 12 months. Modern cars are often fitted with their own diagnostic system that can tell you when it’s time for a service. If your car does this and you don’t believe a service is due, it’s advisable to book your car in anyway, as the diagnostic system recommends.

Is an MOT the same thing as a service?

Car servicing and MOTs are entirely different things, which are undertaken for different reasons and perform different functions. An MOT is actually a legal requirement too, and essential for your insurance, whereas car servicing is designed to keep your vehicle roadworthy. It makes sense to have your car serviced regularly, and not rely solely on an MOT, which won’t test how well it is running quite as efficiently.

Can I have my car serviced at any garage?

While manufacturers may recommend that you choose a dealership car service, it is entirely your right as the owner of the vehicle to choose who services it, and where. Choosing an independent garage should never invalidate your warranty, but you should ensure you choose a reputable company that will carry out the servicing exactly as the manufacturer’s servicing advice states.

What happens if a car isn’t serviced in time?

Older cars, naturally, are going to become more susceptible to problems than newer models. There is an argument for older cars being serviced every 6 months, while modern cars could go up to 18,000 miles between services. However, servicing can reveal hidden damage that may not yet be a problem, and gives you the chance to repair it cheaply, before accruing more costs. Essentially, if your car isn’t serviced regularly, problems can become worse – and more expensive.
