Car Servicing in Horsham, Dorking, Surrey & Sussex | Macs Autocare Services Ltd
If you’re looking to keep your vehicle in fine form year-round, maintaining performance and reducing the chance of breakdown, ensure to visit a local mechanic for regular car servicing. Nestled here in Capel, just a short drive from many bustling Surrey and Sussex locales like Horsham and Dorking, our fully equipped MOT garage provides interim, annual and major car servicing to discerning motorist who wish to save money, and enjoy a more personal standard of service than that found at fast-fits and chain garages.
Manufacturers typically agree on three things: recommending interim car servicing every 6,000 miles or 6 months, annual car servicing every 12,000 miles or 12 months, and major car servicing every 2 years. Each involves a different check-list of inspections and maintenance tasks, getting longer and more comprehensive as we head up from interim to major. As well as the aforementioned perks of more reliable, responsive performance, Dorking and Horsham motorists who keep on top of their service history can save money at the pumps due to improved fuel efficiency, and protect the value of their vehicle should they ever decide to trade in or sell on the second hand market.
Comparing Different Car Servicing Categories
Interim car servicing involves a basic inspection and essential maintenance tasks, such as oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups and a check-in on key components like brakes, tires and lights. Annual servicing, on the other hand, involves all the tasks performed during an interim service along with additional comprehensive checks and maintenance. This may involve checking the vehicle's belts, hoses, air filters, and fuel system, as well as more in-depth assessments of the suspension, steering, and cooling system. Both play an important part in keeping Dorking and Horsham motorists safely on the road with a vehicle free of niggling issues.
Major car servicing is the daddy of them all, and is both a more extensive and less frequent form of maintenance. Dorking and Horsham residents can expect to see their vehicle subject to all the tasks of an annual service, but with a focus on replacing or refurbishing major components that have reached their recommended lifespan, such as the timing belt, spark plugs, or the clutch assembly.
