Henlow Motor Services can carry out the work without invalidating the manufactures warranty by following the Manufacturers Schedules and replacing OE parts as required, resetting service intervals and updating service records.

A few reasons why you should have your car serviced regularly

Whilst there is no legal requirement to have your vehicle serviced except possibly as a condition of warranty. There are a few reasons why it is worth getting a regular service for your vehicle.

Safety

When Henlow Motor Services perform a service on your vehicle we carry out some essential checks on critical areas of you vehicle such as the brakes and suspension. This makes sure that they are in good working order. Having a regular vehicle service gives you the reassurance that your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition.

Save money

Not having your vehicle serviced may save a few quid but may end up costing you time and money. Henlow Motor Services will often spot the beginnings of a problem that could develop into something costly and expensive to fix. A car that is regularly serviced is less likely to breakdown – which can prove expensive and very inconvenient.

Longevity

Regular car servicing will almost certainly improve the lifespan of your Vehicle.

Maintaining vehicle value

In the UK the used vehicle market is extremely competitive with buyers expecting to get ever more for their money. A vehicle that has a full service history is likely to attract more buyers and achieve a higher selling price.
