The frequency of brake service can depend on various factors including driving habits, driving conditions, and the type of vehicle. However, a general rule of thumb is to have your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Of course, if you notice any unusual sounds, reduced brake responsiveness, or any other irregularities in braking performance, it’s important to seek professional brake service immediately.

If your vehicle fails its MOT, you will be issued a VT30 form and your vehicle will have a “dangerous” or “major” fault. This means that it is not roadworthy and you are not allowed to drive it until the necessary repairs have been made. You will then need to rebook another MOT test once the repairs have been completed. It is important to address any issues that caused the failure as soon as possible, as driving a vehicle with dangerous or major faults can result in accidents and put yourself and others at risk.

Not necessarily. However, it’s advised for optimal car health. Most manufacturers recommend a yearly car service, especially if your vehicle covers more than 12,000 miles within that year. Annual servicing ensures safety, optimal performance, and can enhance your car’s resale value.

Typically, a comprehensive diagnostic test can last anywhere from one hour to 90 minutes. In some cases, additional issues may arise or certain vehicle components may need to be removed prior to conducting the test, which can extend the duration to approximately two to three hours. At the same time, if a problem is detected early on, the diagnostics test may be considerably shorter.

A full car diagnostic test can tell you whether any parts or components within your engine are faulty, along with other issues that might be affecting its performance. It can also provide an indication as to why your dashboard lights may be activating.

Once the full car diagnostic test is completed, our technicians will review their findings with you and let you know if there are any repairs that need to be carried out. If the diagnostics test finds no issues, then we will provide a full report of our findings and advise you on how to keep your car running at its best.

Electric vehicles typically require less frequent servicing compared to their petrol or diesel counterparts. The Renault Zoe, for instance, has a suggested service interval of 18,000 miles, doubling the 9,000-mile recommendation for its petrol vehicles.

At the same time, Hyundai outlines a similar plan for its electric vehicles, mirroring its petrol and hybrid cars’ service intervals. These intervals are set at 10,000 miles in the first year, extending to 20,000 miles in the second year, and so on, adhering to the “whichever comes first” principle. Similarly, the BMW i3’s service intervals are set for every two years or 18,000 miles, much like the Renault Zoe.

The duration of a car service can vary based on a few factors such as the type of service, the make and model of the vehicle, and the condition of the car. As a general guide, an interim service might take around 1.5 hours, a full service could take about 3 hours, and a major service could extend beyond 4 hours. It’s always best to confirm with service centre, as some cars may require more time, especially if additional issues are found during the service.

A full vehicle service generally includes an oil and filter change, a comprehensive inspection of fluid levels and components, a check for wheel alignment, a thorough brake inspection, and an assessment of the air filter and other filters. This ensures optimal word choice, structure, readability, and eloquence while preserving the original meaning.

Here are common signs to look out for when diagnosing a potentially failing car battery:

1. Slow engine crank during start-up.
2. Dim headlights and electrical issues.
3. Needing frequent jump-starts.
4. Battery warning light illuminated on the dashboard.
5. Swollen or bloated battery case.
6. Age of the battery (3 to 5 years).

If you experience any of these indicators, it’s advisable to have your battery tested by a professional to determine if a replacement is needed.

No, driving with a broken exhaust is not recommended. A broken exhaust can lead to dangerous leaks of hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide, which can be fatal if inhaled in large amounts. Additionally, a defective exhaust system may also cause excessive noise pollution or even damage your car’s engine.
