Maintenance

Professional vehicle maintenance at reasonable prices

Here at JDG Motor Services Limited we understand that not getting your car serviced regularly can result in costly repairs later on. This is why we offer professional vehicle servicing at very reasonable rates.

We have a courtesy car available so you won’t be left without transport while your vehicle is being serviced.

Vehicle maintenance work that we undertake includes:

• Professional vehicle servicing at a DVSA-certified garage
• Dealer-level servicing at local garage prices
• Any repairs that your vehicle might need, though we’ll always get in touch with you before proceeding

Keep your service history up to date

We are able to carry out major and minor services on most vehicles, and it always pays to maintain a full service history to maximise the value of your vehicle if you should ever want to sell it. However, making sure that your vehicle is well-maintained isn’t just for the sake of keeping the paperwork in order. The better your vehicle is maintained, the smaller the chance of it suffering a breakdown, and breakdowns always seem to happen at the most awkward times.

Some of the maintenance tasks that we undertake

Replacing critical parts such as:

• Brake pads (it’s crucial that your vehicle can stop safely within a reasonable distance, so you need efficient brakes)
• Cam belts (also called timing belts – these need to be replaced at manufacturer-specified intervals or they can snap, potentially causing catastrophic engine damage)
• Exhausts (holes in exhausts caused by corrosion or contact with the road or obstacles such as speed bumps, kerbs, humped-back bridges, etc. not only make your vehicle loud, they leak potentially hazardous gases)
• Fan belts (these need to be replaced if they become worn or excessively slack, because if they snap, the engine can overheat and the alternator will stop generating electricity, so the battery will start to run down)
• Tyres (the only things on your vehicle that are actually in contact with the road are your tyres, so you need them to have even, deep tread, and be free of cuts, bulges, and significant cracks caused by weathering and ultra-violet rays from the sun)

Replacing important fluids such as:

• Brake fluid (this needs to be replaced from time to time so your brakes perform efficiently and don’t become ‘spongy’)
• Differential oil
• Engine coolant (engines produce a lot of heat, so need to be cooled, but the coolant needs to be resistant to freezing in winter, which could damage the engine, so you need to make sure the coolant contains enough anti-freeze)
• Engine oil (engines need to be lubricated properly to prevent excessive wear and even seizing up in extreme cases, but oil gradually loses its protective qualities over time, so needs regular replacement)
• Gearbox lubricant (automatic and manual gearboxes are full of moving parts, just like engines, so need efficient lubrication – this needs to be replaced regularly when it becomes less effective)
• Power steering fluid
• Screenwash
