Full Car Service Norwich

A full service is the once-a-year job that a car is designed around. Every manufacturer publishes a schedule of what should be checked, changed and adjusted at each interval, and a proper full service follows it: the oil and filter, the air and cabin filters, spark plugs on petrol engines when due, and a systematic inspection of brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, cooling system, exhaust, lights and electrics, with a written report at the end. At Ber Street we service all makes and models to that schedule with quality OEM-specification parts, which keeps a manufacturer warranty intact, and we quote before we start rather than adding things afterwards.

Our full service checklist guide sets it out item by item.

Full, Interim or Major?

A full service is the annual standard for most cars. An interim service is the lighter six-monthly job for high-mileage drivers. A major service is the full service plus the long-interval items, typically brake fluid, coolant and fuel filter, roughly every two years. If you are not sure which is due, the mileage and the service history tell us, and we will recommend the right one rather than the biggest one.

Warranty, Dealers and Independents

A car under manufacturer warranty can be serviced by an independent garage without affecting the warranty, provided the manufacturer's schedule is followed and parts of the correct specification are used. We do both, stamp the book or update the digital service record where the manufacturer provides access, and give you an itemised invoice that shows exactly what was done. Our car service cost guide explains what sets the price and why it differs between a small hatchback and a large diesel.

Good to know

How long does a full service take? Typically two to three hours depending on the car and what we find. Drop off in the morning and it is usually ready the same day; we call if anything needs approval.

With the MOT

If the MOT is due within a month or so, combine it. The full service covers the items that fail most cars, so the test becomes a formality, and you lose the car for one day instead of two. See our MOT and service page for how that works, bearing in mind we arrange the test at a DVSA-approved centre rather than testing in house.
