Why do I need a service?
Safety: Even minor faults can compromise your safety if left unchecked. A professional service includes thorough checks on brakes, tyres, lights and steering, identifying issues before they put you at risk. Your safety is always our priority.
Savings: Skipping a service might save money in the short term, but it often leads to larger repair bills down the line. Regular servicing catches small issues early and helps maintain your vehicle’s resale value.
Longevity: Consistent servicing extends the life of your vehicle significantly. Fresh oil, clean filters and properly maintained components reduce wear on your engine and drivetrain, keeping your vehicle on the road for years to come.
Reliability: A well-serviced vehicle is a reliable vehicle. Regular servicing catches worn components before they fail, reducing the chance of unexpected breakdowns and keeping everything running as it should.
What Happens During a Service?
When you bring your vehicle to Athersmith Motor Services, our experienced team carries out a thorough, multi-step service following manufacturer-recommended guidelines. A typical service includes:
Oil and filter change: Old oil and filter replaced using the correct grade and specification for your vehicle.
Fluid checks and top-ups: Coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and windscreen washer fluid checked and topped up.
Brake inspection: Brake pads, discs and the braking system inspected for correct and safe operation.
Tyre check: Tyre condition, tread depth and pressures checked and adjusted as needed.
Lighting and visibility: All lights, wipers and mirrors inspected to ensure they meet safety standards.
Under-bonnet checks: Battery, belts, hoses and other components inspected for wear or deterioration.
Steering and suspension: Key components checked for wear, ensuring your vehicle handles correctly and safely.
Final safety checks: A comprehensive final check ensures nothing has been missed and your vehicle is safe for the road.
