For Car Servicing in Holmes Chapel, Speak to the Specialists

Car Garage in Homes ChapelIt matters where you take your car for car servicing in Holmes Chapel. You may think the details of a routine service is easy stuff. However, it’s during routine servicing of vehicles that skilled and alert technicians will make a thorough check of all maintenance items. You should expect to feel confident that nothing will be overlooked because the technician is professional and conscientious. That’s what we offer. We check the fluids, tyres, and change the oil. Fluids deplete over time even though they are contained. Low levels create wear and tear on the parts, which causes them to wear out faster. We make sure tyre tread is in the safety zone and that they’re properly inflated. Oil change is very important. Every moving part in a machine needs lubrication that is free of grit. So change it every few thousand miles.

Those simple steps taken by our techs while you relax in our lounge for an hour can save you thousands in potential repairs. In Holmes Chapel, car servicing includes a look around for cracks or leaks that can lead to big repairs. We check filters and belts to make sure they’re dependable. You can feel safe on the roadway knowing your car is safe and roadworthy. If there are minor repairs needed, it’s better that we find them early before they turn into expensive repairs and perhaps you end up stranded along the roadway. Our technicians are quick to spot signs of excessive wear on engine parts. Maybe this way you won’t find out about them the hard way; through expensive transmission, drivetrain or cooling system repairs.

Car servicing in Holmes Chapel will extend the life of your car. You invested a lot of money in it when you bought it. Invest a little now then to make sure it lasts and you can avoid investing big money on repairs. Regularly scheduled maintenance and service will make you safer in your car. It will make your teens safer when they are in your car. Contact us for affordable car servicing . If your service engine light comes on, call us and bring your car in.

Servicing proactively maintains your car, reducing the risk of a breakdown. Even if it is irregular, servicing can also help maintain your car’s value. It is also your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is examined every 12 months and is issued with an MOT certificate. It is a legal requirement in the UK to have an MOT certificate issued to your car, as without one you will be unable to renew your road tax and your car may not be insured.

Assuming your car is over 3-years old, your annual MOT renewal date is the natural point to get your car serviced. However, many car owners fully service their car every year or every 12,000 miles – whichever comes earlier. If you suspect that there is a problem with your car, you should always seek expert advice at the earliest opportunity.

A Full Service is ideal for an annual maintenance programme for your car and recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months – whichever comes sooner (although some manufacturers may recommend more regular checks). Interim Servicing is ideal for vehicles used for short, mainly urban journeys or for those who wish to service vehicles doing very high mileage more regularly. An Interim Service every 6,000 miles or 6 months helps keep your car safe and roadworthy between full services.

The short answer to this question is that you can take your car to be serviced at a main dealership! However, in doing so the likelihood is that you will pay much more compared to a local independent garage. It used to be the case that in order to maintain your vehicle manufacturers warranty, you could only take your vehicle to a main dealership for your car servicing and repair requirements. However, this was seen as anti-competitive by the European Union and a legislation change was made. This change means that you no longer have to go to the main dealer for car servicing or repairs to ensure that your manufacturer’s warranty is maintained (NB: you only have to take your car to the main dealership for “warranty related” work). As a result, you are now free to choose any quality independent garage to complete your car servicing and repair needs. Provided that your vehicle is serviced using the manufacturers schedules, repaired within the manufacturers guidelines, and with dealer quality parts, your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty will not be affected. At Cottage Street Garage, we provide the same quality service as a main dealership, but at a much more affordable price!

We work on a fixed price service scheme and no additional repair works will be undertaken without the prior consent of our customers. In some cases when a part is nearing the end of its life, it can be a matter of judgement as to whether that part should be replaced now or left a little longer. We will explain the options as clearly as we can, and you are free to seek a second opinion, but rest assured Cottage Street Garage will never complete any additional work until we have your authority to do so.

Cottage Street Garage’s oil change service is a great supplement between full or interim services, especially when preparing for a long journey or just to ensure peace of mind! Our oil change service includes changing the engine oil and filter, but we will also check other essential items such as tyres, batteries or lights, as well as essential fluids like brake or power steering fluids. However, it should be stressed that our oil change service is not a substitute for a full or interim service, and therefore does not give a service history stamp.
