Hi Daniel, we’re sorry you were unhappy. We carried out the agreed DPF work, but unfortunately the DPF remained blocked. This was not due to our workmanship. We’re always happy to discuss this with you directly.

If you're looking for the most time-efficient way to keep your car in top condition, why not book your service and MOT in Southsea together? Plus, many garages offer a discounted MOT price when you book a service at the same time, so you can also save yourself some money.

 

How Do I Choose the Best Garage For My Car Service in Southsea?

It’s usually only once a year but it has to be done - so where do you take your car for its service? To the garage round the corner because it’s the nearest, even though you don’t really understand what they tell you? To the place your friend recommends, even though it charges more than most Southsea garages? Or to a big, national chain garage - you’d rather support an independent but you feel safer with a big brand?

BookMyGarage can give you the confidence to book differently.

You’ll find garages near you rated by other car owners, with transparent, immediate details of their prices and services. As every garage on our comparison site sets its prices itself, you'll never experience a nasty surprise at the end of your car service. Plus, you can find the best value for you on your car servicing cost by comparing deals and choosing a lower-cost option.

“I’ve always found this garage to be honest and trustworthy. I’m always well informed and advised of what is needed to be done. Great staff. Nothing too much trouble. Probably only use for MOT and service once a year but if that’s all I need them for then that proves to me they keep the car on track.”

Frequently asked questions

Each car service takes a different length of time, due to the differing numbers of checks. On average, a car service takes:
● Around 1 and 1/2 hours for an interim service
● Around 3 hours for a full service
● Around 4 hours or longer for a major service

If the mechanic finds extra faults, the repair time will take longer.
A car service is a routine health check for your vehicle, completed by a local garage in Southsea. A mechanic inspects various parts of your car, checking for excessive wear and tear and recommending repairs where needed.

A car service is the best way to keep your car in good condition and helps to avoid expensive repairs and breakdowns. Some of the items assessed in a car service are:
● Tyres
● Oil
● Filter
● Brakes
● Timing Belt
● Windscreen Wipers
● Exhaust
● Suspension
● Steering System
You should always follow the service intervals specified in your vehicle handbook. Most manufacturers recommend booking a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles - whichever comes first. They may also recommend booking interim and major services, as well as oil and filter changes, at other intervals.

The frequency of servicing depends on two factors:
● Your driving style
● Your yearly mileage

If you are an aggressive driver or you travel more than 25,000 miles a year, you may wish to service your car more often. Similarly, if your car sits around for long periods of time, you may wish to service it more often to protect it against the negative effects of disuse.

We recommend servicing your car at the following intervals:
● Interim Service every 6 months or 6,000 miles (if you have a high yearly mileage)
● Full Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles
● Major Service every 24 months or 24,000 miles
