Professional car servicing in Southbourne and Bournemouth

Your annual MOT ensures your vehicle is roadworthy and that emissions are safe, but it doesn’t cover a car’s general mechanical condition. For that, you should book in with an experienced garage for car servicing. If you’re based in the Southbourne or Bournemouth area, why not speak to St Pauls Garage? As members of the Good Garage Scheme, we offer quality servicing and repairs.

The Difference Between an MOT and a Service

The MOT only considers the condition of the vehicle on the day of the test, ensuring it’s legal and roadworthy. A full service, however, takes a more in depth look at the way your car runs, checking it against manufacturer’s guidelines to keep your car running safely, smoothly and reliably. A full service, for instance, will test the condition of the clutch, gearbox and engine. It will also include replacement of worn or damaged key components, like engine oil, spark plugs, fuel and air filters where fitted, to help you get the best performance out of your vehicle.

There’s no legal requirement to have your car serviced, but it is recommended that you have it checked over regularly. While the upfront cost might put you off, it could help you avoid an expensive breakdown further down the line. Routine servicing also helps prolong the life of your vehicle, gives you peace of mind that it won’t let you down when you need it and will also increase the resale value of your car in future.
