| CAR SERVICING Regular car servicing can extend the life of a vehicle. The reason for this is simple - defects are found before they become dangerous. A small investment in routine car servicing and repair, plus a good inspection programme results in a good return on that investment due to: Reduced cost of repairs over the life of the vehicle
Reducing unforeseen and possible breakdown risks
Reduced vehicle time off the road
Less inconvenience and less unforeseen expense
Less likelihood of car accidents
The possibility of greater fuel economy
The possibility of increased product life e.g. tyres last longer, brake discs do not become scored and in need of replacement DRIVE-IN CAR SERVICING PACKAGES Interim - 6 month service from £65 inc VAT
