Car Service Kent
Experience our exceptional bespoke car maintenance plans from £50.
We craft a car plan based on your vehicle’s brand, mileage, condition and driving habits.
Service Overview
Our customised car maintenance plans align perfectly with what your vehicle needs, in this day and age.
We can adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule or design a personalised plan, tailored to your car’s history and driving habits.
Some cars exceed their routine service intervals. In this instance, we can help you establish the best path going forward. This is great for classics, and modern classics.
While each service is tailored, we can generally categorise services into ‘minor’ and ‘major’.
We also have a vast network of specialist engineers, to help with more complex tasks, such as gearbox rebuilds, wiring (electrical) overhauls and AWD (all-wheel-drive) systems rebuilds.
There are few things we have not been involved with, so please get in touch.
Service Types
Minor Service
From £50
Each mark of car will have slightly different guidelines as to when a minor service is required.
For some new cars, the manufacturer will recommend an oil change every 2 years. To us, this is a recipe for disaster. On the other hand, some brands are overkill on changing parts that simply do not need to be replaced, until broken, or have undergone significant mileage.
We can follow the manufacturer’s recommendation, or provide a bespoke plan, based on your requirements, and real-world conditions.
Common minor service items
- Thorough road test conducted by a senior mechanic, testing all core components of the car.
- Extensive 150+ point evaluation on the ramp.
- Oil filter changed with OEM, OEM quality or other brands on request.
- Brake fluid checks.
- Washer fluid check.
- Checks on coolants.
- Power steering fluid checks.
- Engine bay inspection.
- Basic rust inspection.
Major Service
From £150
During a major service, we refresh all critical oils, fluids, and filters to keep your car running smoothly.
Major services can be part of the manufacturer’s recommendations, however they can also be asked on request. For instance, if a car has been off the road for a while, it is advisable that the car has a thorough checkover before hitting the road.
Age, mileage, usage and user requirements greatly affect when a major service should be carried out.
Common major service items
- Vigorous inspection from a seasoned mechanic, followed by a test drive.
- Extensive 150+ point evaluation on the ramp.
- Change of the gearbox and differential oils.
- Brake component check and fluid cycle.
- Engine oil and filter change.
- Coolants.
- Cabin filters.
- Fuel filter.
- Air filter replenishment.
- When required, spark plug change.
Clutch & Timing Belt Servicing
Timing Belt Replacement
From £250
In most instances, we carry out a full-timing belt service, sometimes referred to as a ‘cambelt replacement’.
During this service, we do a full inspection of the cam pullies, camshaft and auxiliaries.
Often this service also includes a water pump and sometimes a thermostat change.
We can specify OEM, OEM quality, or aftermarket parts, depending on the clients requirements.
Clutch Replacement
From £350
This service greatly depends on the mark of car, however usually this includes:
- Basic transmission checks.
- Pressure plate replacement.
- Release bearing replacement.
- Inspection of flywheel, and refurbishment if required.
- Reassembly with the transmission, with tweaks, to ensure all is performing optimally.
Once again, OEM, OEM quality, or aftermarket parts can be installed on request.
