Full & Interim Car Servicing
You may not know this, but if you have a brand new vehicle you don’t have to take it back to the main dealer in order for you to have it serviced. There is much more flexibility surrounding this and so if you have a newer car or van, you can bring it to our independent garage for a thorough and professional service. We supply branded parts, so if there are repairs or maintenance that need carrying out, we can make sure that your warranty remains valid.
Interim Service
Our interim service covers a wide range of checks and is designed for people who cover a lot of miles within a 6-month period. Typically an interim service is recommended after 5,000 – 6,000 miles and the checks can include:
- Fluid levels
- Engine conditions
- Batteries
- Lights
- Tyres
- Power steering
- Oil filters
- Brakes
- And much more
Full Car Service
A full service differs in that you are recommended to get one done every 12 months or after 12,000 miles. It involves all the same checks as an interim service but with a number of additional steps. Some of these can include:
- Engine cooling fan
- Replacement of the air filter
- Starter motor and security checks
- Wheel bearings checked
- Operation of accelerator
- Check for leaks on the coolant system
- And much more
The Benefits Of Regular Car Servicing
Regular servicing doesn’t just keep your car running smoothly – it also protects its long-term value. A full service history shows buyers that your vehicle has been properly cared for, making it easier to sell and often worth more. A buyer will have a harder time knocking you down on price if your car is in great condition and backed by a full service history.
It also saves you money by spotting small issues before they turn into expensive repairs or breakdowns. At Darglen Motors, you’ll receive main dealer standards at a fraction of the cost, with branded parts to protect your warranty and experienced mechanics you can trust.
Why Do I Need My Car Serviced?
The main reason to get a service is to keep your car on the road for longer and avoid any issues or breakdowns, keeping you safer. Services can highlight minor problems before they become major issues, therefore saving you money in the long run. In addition, a service can also help your vehicle to pass its MOT, as a lot of the areas checked will also come up in the mandatory test.
Newer vehicles will require a service to maintain their warranty or guarantee.

An interim service is a smaller check-up, usually recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles, covering essential items such as oil, tyres and brakes. A full service is more comprehensive, carried out once a year, and includes additional checks and replacements.
