Car Servicing and Van Servicing in Daventry
Fixed Price Vehicle Servicing - SDS Gives You Peace of Mind
Why should you get your car or van serviced? It is like house insurance - you don't always need it, but it is good to have that peace of mind. A well-maintained vehicle would not normally need to visit a garage between service intervals.
Servicing your car or van regularly will save you money, time and hassle.
It will also help maintain the vehicle value when the time comes to sell it.
We only use the manufacturer's original replacement
parts or similar quality alternatives. Cheap oil only saves money in the short term, so we use the oil grade and
quality originally specified by the manufacturer for your peace of mind.
Our fixed-price servicing includes an oil and filter change, stripping and cleaning the brakes, replacement of all the filters (including fuel, cabin/pollen air conditioning) and
all the other maintenance tasks originally specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.
Our experienced mechanics and technicians will
thoroughly check the vehicle report back if they spot anything else that you need to consider.
