Car Servicing FAQs

1. What is a car service?

A car service is a check-up on your vehicle to ensure that everything is in good working order. As you cover more miles, gradual wear and tear will leave the mechanical components in your car in need of maintenance.

Your service should be carried out by a qualified mechanic, who can advise you on any necessary changes or replacements to keep your car running smoothly. If you have any doubts about your vehicle, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Leighton Buzzard car service team.

2. How often should you service your car?

General advice is to get your car serviced at least once a year but this depends on your mileage and the level of service that you choose. If you opt for an interim check-up over a more comprehensive service like our Gold package, it could be a good idea to get your car serviced every few months.

As always, seek advice from a qualified mechanic at MK Tyres Leighton Buzzard if you’re unsure on how often you should service your vehicle. Regular servicing will prevent smaller issues from turning into potentially major and costly repair jobs.

3. How much is a car service?

The cost of a service depends on a few factors, including your chosen service package and the specific requirements of your vehicle. Some cars fly through a service with minimal issues, whereas other vehicles require complex repairs, maintenance and replacement parts. Plus, you can expect to pay a little bit more if you’re looking for a hybrid or electric car service.

You can find out more about the cost of car servicing with Protyre Leighton Buzzard by checking out all our service options online. Our Bronze service package starts at £79 and you can expect to pay double that figure for a comprehensive Gold package.

4. How long do car tyres last?

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re wondering when to change your car tyres. While it might be an easy task to put off, it’s important to remember that the minimum legal tyre tread is 1.6mm deep. You should aim to replace your tyres when the tread falls between 2-3mm to avoid veering too close to the legal limit.

Check your tread at least a few times a year, and don’t wait until you’ve got no grip left to change them. Plus, more tread on your tyres means more grip on the roads – so it’s sensible to keep your tyres fresh, especially before driving in hazardous weather conditions.

Whatever your mileage, it’s always worth including a free tyre check in your next trip to MK Tyres Leighton Buzzard.

5. What tyres does my car need?

If you’re wondering if wheel alignment is important, it’s worth knowing that correctly aligned wheels are vital to your safety on the road.
