Can I use the autocentre if I haven't bought from Carbase or Vanbase?

Yes! Our friendly staff at the autocentre are happy to maintain your car or van, even if you didn't buy it from us. Our servicing and repair staff at the autocentre are the same technicians that provide RAC Approved Preparation Standards on all Carbase vehicles.

Should I get a service along with an MOT?

An MOT is required on an annual basis, for all vehicles more than 3 years old whereas a service is typically required after the vehicle has covered a certain mileage. It may well be that these two different timescales align nicely and in that case, it might make sense for you to have both done at the same time, however, it's not a necessity to have them done together and you can book in a service to be done at any time.

Do you offer guarantees on parts?

Guarantees on parts come from the manufacturer, so this will vary depending on which parts you need. Speak to our friendly service advisors for information about specific parts.

Do you offer courtesy cars?

We do! We understand how vital a car or van is to many people so we offer courtesy cars & vans when your own vehicle is in with our technicians. Subject to availability, T&C's apply.

Service Your Car or Van

We recommend that every vehicle has a regular full service to ensure they're running at their best, and help reduce the chances of a nasty repair bill later down the line. This should happen once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first (subject to manufacturer specification). It may be a good idea to book your MOT and service at the same time as a reminder to get them both done, and kill two birds with one stone!

Tyres

Although looking under the bonnet is important, your car or van's tyres are essential for keeping you on the road. By inspecting them regularly, you're more likely to notice shallow tread or damage caused by nails or rocks. If you would like a second opinion or you spot something you're not sure about, bring your vehicle down to one of our autocentres where our expert team of technicians can take a look.
