How much is a Service??
It’s one of the most commonly asked questions by friends and new customers and it’s not really a simple answer. There are various questions we would have to ask before considering a ballpark figure.
What type of car is it?
What engine does it have?
Petrol or Diesel?
Cylinder capacity?
What type of service does it require?
When was it last serviced?
What was done on the last service?
We would service many different types of vehicles in a normal day as we offer a fleet management service where we maintain companies’ fleets of cars and vans who were searching for Car servicing in Belfast. We use an industry standardised method to price jobs and carry them out in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. This way the vehicle owners know we will carry out the work as requested by the manufacturer for the optimal performance of the vehicle, therefore giving your vehicle everything it needs to be as reliable as possible for you. Not only does this give you less chance of the vehicle breaking down, but it increases its resale value when the car has been cared for exactly as it should without cutting any corners. Let’s be honest, when we are searching for a used car, we all want that one owner car with a folder full of service history and receipts.
Engine oil also comes in different grades and uses which then comes with varying costs so it’s important to use the right oil and choose a garage that selects the right oil rather than a one size fits all oil and a cheaper alternative.
Having a VAT registered garage do your work counts for a lot. Firstly, it keeps your warranty intact in accordance with Block Exemption Regulations, secondly, it allows you to use third party warranty companiesThirdly it keeps a digital service record of the service which can be followed up by future owners or anyone else who may need access to it instead of a paper copy filed deep at the back of a store where it isn’t accessible conveniently (talking from experience.)
So, next time feel free to give your garage your reg and current mileage and we can advise on the rest.
