They did a great job with the car, very prompt with the delivery, I would certainly recommend them

The site of Automotive Kar Clinic was a little difficult to find as they share the premises with another company and have no outside signboard. Telephone-assisted directions helped.
Andy, the engineer, exuded an air of confidence and approached the job very professionally.  He worked unhurriedly  but at a consistent pace and found additional faults that had to be repaired for the car to pass the MOT.
I am impressed with the quality of the service and would recommend them unconditionally.  I have in fact taken my car back there for another unrelated fault in the bodywork which was fixed as professionally.
I found that the rate at which work is charged is very fair and therefore easy to pay. I  was present during the entire repair and feel my car received 100% attention.


Took my car in for a coolant leak which I suspected was coming from the water pump.
Met with Andy the mechanic, the most friendly and enthusiastic guy in the business. 
Not only did he confirm the diagnosis but also found coolant was leaking from within the engine.
They worked tirelessly above and beyond exceptional service levels to dismantle my engine to find and fix a leaking oil cooler.
Would recommend 100% and will definitely use again.

Prompt and friendly service. Would use again and a good price given for a cambelt change

I was treated well by Andy and did a good job with a minimum charge. I recommend the garage with A+++

I highly recommend Andy and automotive car clinic, I had a alternator replacement which was carried out in a speedy and very reasonable price, was happy that I was charged less than the original quote, will definitely use automotive car klinic again. 

Excellent service Andy picked my car up took it away!  Fixed it 2 hrs later he drove it back to me ...made my day excellent service I would highly recommended to anyone fantastic I will certainly take my car back for a service. ..well worth travelling to Essex fantastic thankyou Andy your a star ..m

Andy collected my car, completed the work and dropped it back to me - he made the experience very easy for me and at a great price too. Thanks very much! 

Brilliant. Friendly, helpful and efficient. Would srongly recomend this garage. Price increase was due to extra work, but all completed in less than a day

Superb service backed by great technical knowledge and experience.  
Has completely restored my faith in independent garages after recent poor experiences.

Garage Profile Base

An MOT is a test of your vehicle's safety, which every car is legally required to have every 12 months, once it reaches three years old.

A full service is recommended every **12 months** or every **12,000 miles**. It’s also appropriate if you think your car needs a more thorough check or it’s not performing as it should. 

A full service includes everything in an interim service, plus additional checks (60-80 in total). 

- Oil and oil filter replacement
- Brake fluid check and change
- Anti-freeze coolant
- Windscreen wash
- Power steering fluid
- Lights
- Windscreen wipers
- Battery condition
- Charging system
- Exhaust system
- Tyre tread and pressure
- Full brake check
- Steering check
- Shock absorbers check
- Suspension check
- Auxiliary drive belt check
- Wheel alignment check
- Wheel bearing check
- Wheel balance
- Brake fluid condition
- Fuel filter (diesel)
- Spark plug check/replacement (petrol)
- Air filter or cabin filter change

A full service will take around three hours to complete, but it could be longer if any problems are encountered.

The average cost of a full service booked on WhoCanFixMyCar is £178. Drivers who booked a full service through WhoCanFixMyCar in 2021 saved an average of £71.*

Full service

A full service is recommended every 12 months or every 12,000 miles (whichever is sooner). Includes everything in an interim service, plus additional checks and oil and filter replacements.

An interim service is recommended every **6 months** or **6,000 miles** - whichever comes first. 

An interim service consists of around 30-50 checks on your vehicle's condition and will typically include:

- Vehicle safety inspection
- [Engine oil and filter change](https://www.whocanfixmycar.com/parts/car-fluids-and-oil)
- Fluid check
- Top up of brake fluid, coolant and screenwash

An [interim service](https://www.whocanfixmycar.com/services/interim-service) is less comprehensive than a full service and, as a result, takes roughly half the time - usually about an hour and a half. 

The average cost of an interim service booked on WhoCanFixMyCar is £113. In 2021, drivers who booked an interim service through WhoCanFixMyCar saved an average of £43.*

Regular oil changes are an important part of maintaining your car engine **between services**. Most newer cars have a dashboard warning light to notify you when your oil level is low and in need of an oil change. An oil change service typically includes:

- Engine oil drained and refilled with new oil
- Oil filter replacement
- Service light reset

Oil change

Regular oil changes are an important part of maintaining your car engine between services. Garages will typically change the oil and reset the oil warning light on the dashboard.
