SERVICES
Most modern cars only need a service once a year, but older cars require a service once every six months. The manufacturer’s service handbook will set what is best for your car. The type of service you need will also be affected by how you use your car. For example, lots of short journeys where the engine does not have a chance to warm up properly will probably mean more frequent oil and filter changes.
DOES YOUR CAR NEED A SERVICE?
If your vehicle is under warranty, it can still be serviced by RPMotors, without invalidating the warranty conditions. It is covered by the Block Exemption rule. The European Commission rules on car block exemption came into full effect in October 2003. This new ruling allows independent garages the same access to technical information on your car from the manufacturer, and more importantly, it means you do not need to go back to a franchise dealer to retain warranty cover.
Servicing
We carry out Full & Interim Services on all makes & models of cars. We can also provide you with a comprehensive service checklist to show you what work has been carried out on your vehicle.
Batteries
Hot & Cold weather conditions can cause battery failure. Don’t leave it until you break down & stuck on the roadside. Pop in for a FREE battery check. We keep many common batteries in stock & can replace it while you wait.
MOT’S
We can arrange for your car’s annual MOT check for only £54.85. You can have your car MOT up-to one calendar month early. If your MOT has expired, you cannot drive your vehicle on the road, your insurance will be invalid and you could be prosecuted if caught.
Tyres
The law requires car tyres to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm in a continuous band around the central three quarters of the tyre. Many brands of tyres are available for same day fitting at RPMotors.
Exhausts
If your exhaust becomes noisy, corroded or exceeds emission limits & fails the MOT, we can often replace the exhaust in sections, keeping your costs down. Call in to RPMotors for a free quote.
Fault Code Readings
If your Engine, ABS or SRS Airbag light is on, it means your vehicle has one or more Trouble Codes. The “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” (or MIL ) comes on to warn you when the Onboard Diagnostic System detects a problem. We can communicate with your onboard computer to give you a cost effective solution.
COLLECTING YOUR CAR
Ask to view the old replaced parts and check that:
The bill is for the amount agreed, or is not significantly more than any estimate you were given.
The work and parts are fully itemised (this will be proof of purchase if a problem occurs as a result of work or replaced part fails).
The service record book has been stamped with the garage stamp.
The locking wheel nut key is returned in the correct location.
Rather than replacing parts that are not worn out, RPMotors will advise you when they will probably need replacing, based on the way you use your car.
