Looking after your car
Plan the maintenance your car needs
Service history
Start with the records and items due
Bring previous service invoices and details of fluid changes, repairs and any work already booked elsewhere. We discuss the applicable maintenance and record keeping for your model. The quote identifies what is included and which additional inspection or diagnostic work may be needed.
- Include the registration, mileage and dashboard reminders.
- Tell us whether the service record is paper or digital.
- Digital recording and specialist procedures are confirmed for the model.
Low-mileage and performance use
Mileage is one part of the maintenance picture
Storage, occasional use, short journeys and demanding driving can affect the servicing discussion. A car driven infrequently can still have time-based fluid and maintenance items due. Mention noises, braking vibration, leaks or a change in shift behaviour so assessment can be planned alongside routine maintenance.
- Describe how the car is used and any periods in storage.
- Mention modifications and track use before work is quoted.
- Ask about an MOT and courtesy car availability when booking.
