Servicing
Many people have their car serviced every 12 months or 12,000 miles, which ever occurs first.
Regular servicing can improve your fuel economy and reduce your risk of a breakdown, whilst maintaining your cars value. Depending on the vehicle you drive, and how many miles you cover annually, you may need to have more regular servicing or ‘interim’ services between larger services.
TyreFinders offers a fixed price servicing menu to cover all makes of vehicle and anuual mileages.
Our Bronze service is ideal as an interim service, or for a vehicle used for very short around town journeys, or vehicles subjected to a very high mileage.
Our Silver and Gold services are more involved and are ideal for your annual servicing schedule. A full list of what you can expect from our servicing routines are listed below.
Any service carried out by TyreFinders will have the benefits of WURTH engine treatments being used. WURTH engine cleaners and fuel additives are considered to be the best in the industry and are proven to improve engine performance and reduce emissions.
TyreFinders will only ever fit parts to your vehicle that are of the same, or higher quality than those used by the main dealer. We also use Valvoline oil, who offer engine oils that help modern engines achieve maximum performance and superior protection.
