Car Servicing in Cardiff
The Importance of Vehicle Servicing
All Vehicle Manufacturers provide new vehicles with a Service Schedule designed to ensure their vehicles are kept in a safe and reliable condition. At Ferris Bros. we are able to maintain all makes of vehicle from brand new and have noted that predominantly the Services fall into three categories, which we have designated as:
- Annual Service: Combining the replacement of engine oil & filter with a brake, chassis and electrical inspection plus a road test. Cost: from £149.00 inc parts, labour & VAT.
- Basic Service: Combining the replacement of engine oil & filter with a chassis and electrical inspection plus a road test. Cost: from £99.00 inc parts, labour & VAT.
Please Note: For vehicles within manufacturer's warranty or on long life or condition based servicing see the next section - Servicing from Brand New
The Annual Service is in line with all Major Manufacturers’ Annual Service Schedules and is recommend that it should be carried out annually or at 8,000 to 12,000 mile intervals. On vehicles over 3 years old it is advisable to be carried out in conjunction with the MOT test – this will help to ensure that all major vehicle systems are in good order as the MOT test does not include specific inspections of brake pads, discs, shoes, cylinders or brake fluid, any engine checks other than the exhaust emission test, engine oil change or a road test. See our MOT Testing Section for more details.
The Basic Service is designed to be carried out midway between Annual Services on high mileage vehicles to help maximise engine life and ensure safer motoring.
All Services include an itemised account/invoice, a Service Sheet listing all items checked together with their condition and, if necessary, advice on further repairs if required. With your permission Customer Vehicle details are stored on our database and reminders sent by e-mail, text or phone to you free of charge to ensure that Servicing and MOT tests are remembered.
Please Note:
Prices & Service Intervals shown are only given as a guide; please ask for a quotation for your specific vehicle.
Many Manufacturer's are now recommending renewal of air filters, spark plug, diesel filters, coolant, timing belt (Or Cam belt) etc at greatly extended intervals from the 'traditionally accepted norms'. It is therefore important to know your vehicle's Service History to get an accurate quote - We are always happy to discuss, please call
