Car Servicing to Keep Things Running Like Clockwork

It’s vitally important to keep on top of car servicing to prevent serious issues emerging with components like brakes and clutches, which can lead to the need for far costlier repairs and put your safety at risk. We urge motorists in and around Bridport and Lyme Regis to follow manufacturer advice and invest in interim servicing every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first), and full annual servicing every 12,000 miles or year.

At a glance, benefits of regular car servicing at a quality garage mechanic like Central Motors include:
