Regular car servicing can save you money because it keeps your vehicle in good condition, reducing the risk of an unexpected repair bill. It also maximises the value of your car if you can show its service history to potential buyers.

You should book a full service your car every twelve months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. A full car service usually involves between 40-80 checks in addition to the standard brake, light and tyre checks. These extra checks may include:

• Fuel filter replacement
• Suspension
• Cooling system
• Power steering fluid
• Alternator and vacuum hoses

A car service is not an MOT, even though some of the same systems are inspected during both. An MOT is set by the government, whereas a car service will vary in price and content depending on which garage you choose. That's why you should shop around for a cheap full service on FixMyCar.
