Why Maintenance Is
Important

By having your car regularly maintained, you reduce the risk of it breaking down and leaving you stranded.

Many car owners fully service their vehicle every 12,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Some maunfacturers will recommend interim servicing, especially for high mileage vehicles. This will occur every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes sooner.

A regularly maintained vehicle reduces its' carbon footprint and means your car operates in the optimum way, as designed by the manufacturer.

Gravel Lane Auto offers car servicing from £79.00, with parts that match the quality of original manufacturer. Our policy is to dispose of components and fluids in an environmentally friendly way.
