Car Servicing in Bletchingley and the Surrounding Areas from the Friendly Local Garage in Godstone
Keeping your car or LCV in good mechanical condition protects the moving engine parts, improves reliability and makes driving more economical. None of us can afford to be without our vehicles in a fast-moving world where an unexpected breakdown can lead to costly repair work. Booking in for full or interim car servicing at our dependable local garage in Godstone is by far the best way to keep your vehicle on the road and running as it should.
DD Services Ltd undertakes car servicing to manufacturer specifications for all private motorists, local businesses, fleet operators and members of the trade.
A service is a multipoint check of a car’s components and systems, and the most cost-effective way to identify potential issues before they worsen and lead to a parts failure or a breakdown. A full or interim service includes the replacement of the oil and oil filter, but motorists should look beyond these important changes and understand that when a mechanic or a technician inspects a car, they perform a full vehicle health check at the same time.
We recommend that you book in for car servicing based on recommended intervals in your logbook and the number of miles that you drive.
Full Car Servicing
This is a scheduled service that is undertaken annually or after a motorist has completed 10,000 to 12,000 miles of driving. The multipoint check can cover upwards of 100 different items dependent on the make and model you drive. It is a good idea to make other transport arrangements so that we can have your car for the day, and that you drop off your car (or LCV) when we open.
Should we finish servicing your car sooner, we will call to let you know and give you the opportunity to collect it a little earlier.
Interim Car Servicing
For high-milage drivers who cover more than 6,000 miles within 6 months of a full service, DD Services Ltd recommends booking in for interim car servicing. Customers still benefit from a multipoint check of around 50 to 60 items but, once again, this can vary slightly based on the type of car you drive. Interim services bridge the gap between annual services to maintain performance.
We see interim servicing as an important inclusion to maintenance schedules and an extra opportunity to address oil degradation and component wear.
Oil and Filter Change
Changing the oil and oil filter isn’t a form of car servicing as such, but it is still one of the most popular choices with our customers and perfect for older cars and LCVs when traditional servicing might not be economically viable, or if the vehicle is reaching the end of its serviceable lifespan. This solution includes draining out the old engine oil and replacing the sump plug washer.
DD Services Ltd also suggests that you book in for an oil and filter change after purchasing a second-hand vehicle without a recorded service history.
Our garage is handily located in Godstone and welcomes customers from all nearby locations in the Surrey area including Bletchingley. Should you book in for a service and our mechanics find an issue, we will get back in touch with you to let you know what the problem is, and to see if you would like us to take on the required work. While we can’t predict problems in advance, we look for expected wear and tear during full and interim car servicing.
Typically, issues found relate to brake repairs and clutch repairs although we are vigilant to all types of component wear and failure.
Although MOT testing is a mandatory requirement on any car or LCV that has been on the road for more than three years, servicing is optional. DD Services Ltd advises that you always follow manufacturer recommendations and book in for car servicing on schedule to avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown.
