A car is a very complex machine, with perhaps as many as 30,000 separate components, and in order for the vehicle to perform at optimum levels, it requires regular servicing. When you buy a new car, it obviously comes with a warranty, yet that warranty is subject to the car being serviced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Failure to do so can result in your warranty becoming void, which is something to be avoided at all costs, and with an affordable mechanic in Bristol, you can have your car serviced according to the proper schedule.

Full Service History (FSH)

In the event you ever decide to sell your car, if it has a full service history, you are far more likely to get a quick sale, as a FSH tells a potential buyer that the vehicle has been looked after. You can expect to receive top prices, providing the car is in good condition, as you have evidence that the car has been regularly serviced.

Basic Service

A basic service would include the following:

• An Engine Oil Change
• Checking Coolant Levels
• Checking Brake & Clutch Fluid Levels – Topping up where necessary.
• Checking Belts for Tension & Wear and Tear
• Inspection of Brake Pads
• Steering & Shock Absorber Inspection

Referring to the Owner’s Manual

The rear section of the owner’s manual contains details about servicing, with scheduled service points at specific mileage intervals, and each service details the items to be checked/replaced. As each service is completed, the garage would officially stamp the service page, which is evidence that the service took place, along with all the details of work carried out.
