We service cars at our Bletchley workshop to the manufacturer's schedule, using genuine and matching-quality parts, and keep full records of the work. Servicing a newer car with an independent garage like ours keeps the manufacturer warranty intact, as long as the schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality.

Servicing and your warranty

You don't have to go back to a main dealer to keep a new car's warranty. Competition rules let independent garages service cars during the manufacturer warranty. What Car? explains that an independent service is fine "provided it adheres to the car maker's servicing schedule and uses genuine parts". The UK's current rules, the Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Order, came into force on 1 June 2023.

That's how we work: the manufacturer's schedule, genuine and matching-quality parts, and a full record of what was done.

Some extended warranties sold by car makers have their own terms, and these can ask for dealer servicing. If your car has one, check the small print or send it to us and we'll take a look.

How a service works

    Book in

    Choose a weekday in the booking form, or call 01908 371693. Tell us the make, model and mileage.

  2. 2

    We service it to schedule

    We carry out the work the manufacturer's schedule sets for your car's age and mileage.

  3. 3

    We tell you what we find

    If anything else needs attention, we tell you what it is and what it would cost. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Diagnostics and warning lights

If a warning light comes on, or the car doesn't feel right, bring it in. We find the cause first, then tell you what the repair involves and what it will cost before any work starts. See car diagnostics.

Air conditioning

If the air con has stopped blowing cold, it may need a regas, or there may be a fault in the system. We regas car air conditioning and repair it when it isn't working. See air con regas and repairs.

Checking a car before you buy it

Buying a used car? We do pre-purchase inspections, so you know what you're getting before you hand over the money. Call 01908 371693 to arrange a time.

Top class garage, Martin & team are very welcoming & knowledgable in their profession. And will offer great advice. I know a lot about cars too so I felt on par with them. I would definitely recommend & I will use again. Martin comes across as a perfectionist, reminds me of myself 😆 I really don’t leave reviews but they deserve it. Steve - Blue Focus ST
