We all know that the purse strings are tight with the cost of living on the increase. This means a hefty servicing and repair bill for your vehicle is likely to be one thing you can do without. That’s why, when your car is due for a service or needs some repair work doing, you may be tempted to go to a non-manufacturer approved garage in the belief that this will save you money, when compared to a manufacturer-approved service and repair centre like ours.
We can give you the option of spreading the cost interest free over six months. Plus, it could save you thousands of pounds in the long term. We offer first-class servicing, repairs, and excellent customer service, plus, total peace of mind that when you bring your vehicle to us for a service or repair, we are equipped with all the latest updates from the manufacturer, as well as adhering to the terms of your warranty.
We are a manufacturer-approved service and repairs centre, offering aftersales support for Citroën, DS, MG, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Mitsubishi vehicles.

In addition to ensuring compliance with your vehicle's warranty and staying on top of essential updates, visiting a manufacturer-approved service centre means your vehicle is handled by technicians who are trained specifically for your make and model.
Centres like ours use genuine parts, reducing the risk of incompatibility or future failures, which can save time and money. We can also find like for like replacements of parts and will discuss the options with the customer before fitting, if price is an issue.
One specific problem that highlights the importance of manufacturer-approved servicing is the issue with wet belts, also known as timing belts in oil. Wet belts are an innovation designed to reduce engine noise and improve fuel efficiency, as they run inside the engine oil. However, they are prone to degradation over time, particularly if the oil is not changed regularly or if low-quality oil is used.
This degradation can lead to the belt shedding material, which can circulate through the engine, potentially causing catastrophic damage. Manufacturer-approved centres are aware of these risks and follow strict servicing schedules to replace wet belts before they fail. They also ensure the correct oil specifications are used, preventing premature wear and safeguarding your engine.
Skipping proper servicing to save costs in the short term often results in higher expenses when issues like wet belt failures arise. Such problems can lead to extensive engine repairs or even replacements, often costing thousands of pounds. By sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines, you avoid these risks, ensuring the reliability and longevity of your vehicle.
