Full car servicing at our Perivale workshop
Need a full car service in Greenford or Perivale? A full service is the yearly, more thorough check for your car: oil and filter, fluids, brakes, suspension, steering, battery, tyres and lights. We carry it out at our workshop on Fleetway Business Park, Perivale UB6 7LD, and talk you through anything else we find before doing extra work. Message us on WhatsApp on 07533 280206 with your registration and mileage and we’ll book you in.
What is a full service?
A full service is a comprehensive annual check, usually carried out once a year or in line with your vehicle’s manufacturer schedule. It covers a wider range of components than an interim service, including engine oil and filter, key fluids, brakes, suspension, steering and a range of safety checks, giving your car a more thorough once-over.
What’s included in a full service
- Oil and filter change — engine oil and filter replaced where due
- Fluid checks and top-ups — including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and screen wash
- Brake check — pads, discs and handbrake condition
- Suspension and steering check — key components inspected for wear or damage
- Battery and electrical check — battery condition and key electrical systems
- Tyres, lights and wipers — condition, tread, pressure and function checked
- Underbonnet check — belts, hoses and drive components inspected for wear
- Report on anything else — anything else that needs attention is flagged, with a quote before any extra work
Exactly what’s carried out depends on your vehicle, its mileage and when it was last serviced — we’ll confirm the details after inspection. If the coolant is due a change, we also offer a standalone coolant flush, and if a warning light is on, a car diagnostic test can pinpoint the cause.
When you might need a full service
A full service is worth booking around once a year or roughly every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, or in line with your vehicle’s manufacturer schedule. It’s also worth considering if you’re preparing to sell your car, want to keep a complete service history, or haven’t had a full service carried out in some time. If you’re not sure which level of service your car needs, send us the details on WhatsApp and we’ll advise.
Full, interim or major service?
Interim, full and major services cover different amounts of ground — see our full range of car servicing options if you’re not sure where to start. An interim service is the lighter, more frequent check, typically carried out around every 6 months or 6,000 miles. A full service is more comprehensive and usually carried out annually, covering the wider range of components described above. A major service goes further again, including the replacement of key wear items on higher-mileage vehicles. If you’re not sure which level is right for your car, let us know your mileage and when it was last serviced and we’ll recommend the right option.
Booking a full service and MOT together
Many drivers plan their full service around their MOT. We carry out the full service at our Perivale workshop, and we can book your MOT at an authorised MOT test centre nearby. If you’d like a pre-MOT check first, or the MOT shows something that needs fixing, we can handle the MOT repairs here. Tell us on WhatsApp when your MOT is due and we’ll help plan both. Our MOTs page explains how it works.
How we carry out your full service
- Booking — message us on WhatsApp with your vehicle details and we’ll arrange a time to bring it in.
- Check-in — we confirm what your service will cover, based on your vehicle’s age, mileage and service history.

- Handback — completed work carries our 6-month warranty.
What affects the cost of a full service
There’s no fixed full service price, since it depends on your vehicle and what’s needed. Cost depends on things like:
- Vehicle make, model and age
- Mileage and time since your last service
- Which fluids, filters and components need replacing
- Any additional issues found during the service
Message us on WhatsApp with your vehicle details for a clear idea of cost before any work begins.
How long does a full service take?
A full service usually takes longer than an interim service, since it covers a wider range of components, though the exact time depends on your vehicle and what’s found during inspection. We’ll give you a clearer idea of timing when you book, and the team will keep you updated if anything additional needs attention.
