Car Servicing in Bridport
Central Motors
Keep Your Vehicle Functioning as it Should via Our Oil, Interim & Full Annual Services
Central Motors provides a full range of car servicing options catering to all vehicle needs, whether your van requires a mid-year check-up or motorbike an exhaustive annual inspection. Situated in Bridport, just a short trip from bustling Dorset locations like Lyme Regis, we’ve been serving discerning motorists near and far as a reliable vehicle service centre since all the way back in 1970.
Just as with our repair work, our competitively priced car servicing packages are carried out by qualified, experienced technicians and will not invalidate your warranty. They’re also worth booking in when MOT testing is looming, as they can improve your chances of a first-time pass. Below, we take a look at the differences between the technical checks involved in each of our service types.
Oil Service
The most basic form of car servicing, this simply involves oil and filter replacement, rudimentary oil checks, under-bonnet level top ups, and checks of tyre pressure, tread depth and general condition. For only £68 (Plus Parts and VAT), you can protect your engine, reduce the chance of experiencing an inconvenient or expensive fault, and generally extend the life of your vehicle.
Interim Servicing
Designed for frequent drivers as a general check-up every 6-months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first, interim car servicing focuses on key safety and performance checks. Motorists in and around Bridport, Lyme Regis and Dorset pay just £99 (Plus Parts and VAT) for an interim service at our garage. It’s important to us to keep our prices competitive, especially considering all the other steadily increasing costs associated with keeping a vehicle running year-round.
Interim car servicing includes:
Oil & Oil Filter Replacement
Draining old oil and replacing with manufacturer-specified grade oil; fitting a new oil filter.
Tyre Inspection
Checking tread depth, sidewall condition and air pressure; addressing uneven wear.
Brake System Check
Inspecting brake pads, discs and callipers for wear and efficiency.
Lights & Indicators Check
Ensuring proper function, alignment and brightness of headlights, tail lights and turn signals.
Fluid Top-Ups
Adding coolant, screen wash and power steering fluid as needed.
Exhaust System Inspection
Checking for leaks, corrosion or blockages in the exhaust pipe and silencer.
Drive Belt Visual Check
Identifying wear or fraying on auxiliary belts.
Full Annual Servicing
A full annual service is more of a deep dive and covers an exhaustive range of checks and tests to ensure your vehicle is 100% road safe and performing its best. As the name suggests, manufacturers recommend investing in this form of car servicing every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Bridport, Lyme Regis and Dorset motorists choosing Central Motors as their go-to garage mechanic can receive a full annual service for £150 (Plus Parts and VAT).
