Car servicing tips from Maidenhead specialists

If you want to look after your vehicle, and potentially reduce the running costs, you need to get it serviced regularly. Car servicing will not only help it run at its optimum performance but it will also make it safe on the road as well. Just imagine not having the inconvenience of going to a garage and not having to wait long time just to get your car serviced. NVS Car Servicing in Maidenhead are revolutionising the way vehicles are serviced, removing any inconvenience, saving both time and money. They aim to service your vehicle at Home or Work.

When you are arranging your car serviced, it is important that you understand what the service includes. Do you need an interim service or full service? How frequently does the servicing need to take place? Some garages might only change your oil and oil filter for your servicing whereas the others might carry out a full service. Reputable garages do follow a service checklist. And expect them to give you a copy of that completed checklist as a confirmation of a job well done.

An interim car service should be carried out every 6 months or 6,000 miles. This will keep your car safe and roadworthy in-between full services.

A full car service should be carried out every 12,000 miles or 12 months to keep your car maintained correctly. It is important to have a full service carried out as a trained mechanic could spot damage early and prevent further costs if something were to go wrong with your car. It is unlikely that you will be able to spot any potential problems yourself.
