Stay Ahead of Problems With Scheduled Maintenance

Rated 4.9 by Edinburgh drivers who'd rather keep their car outside than queue at a garage.

Interim, full and major servicing carried out to the manufacturer's schedule, with a digital record that protects both your warranty and your resale value.

Do I really need to book this now?

If your service light is on, or you're within a few hundred miles of the manufacturer interval, yes — delaying interim and full services lets small wear items turn into bigger repairs, and it can affect warranty claims and resale value later.

The honest answer

Is it worth sorting scheduled maintenance now?

Most Edinburgh drivers put servicing off because it means losing the car for a day, arranging a lift into town, and paying for parking near the garage on top of the bill. That's a lot of hassle for an oil change and a checklist.

We follow your exact manufacturer schedule — interim, full or major — and do the work at your kerb, driveway or work car park. Same fluids, same filters, same multi-point inspection a main dealer would run, done by an IMI-qualified mechanic who shows you what's been checked.

Interim services start from £129, full services from £189, with cambelt and major work quoted once we've confirmed your model and mileage.

Short answer

If your service light is on, or you're within a few hundred miles of the manufacturer interval, yes — delaying interim and full services lets small wear items turn into bigger repairs, and it can affect warranty claims and resale value later.

Warning signs

When to book this service

If any of these sound familiar, do not leave it — small faults become expensive quickly.

01SERVICE NEEDED

Service light showing

Your car's telling you it's due — ignoring it for months can mean skipped oil changes and worn filters going unnoticed.

02URGENT

Approaching cambelt interval

A snapped cambelt on an interference engine can wreck valves and pistons in seconds — this one genuinely isn't worth chancing.

03SERVICE NEEDED

Planning a long trip

A pre-trip service catches slow leaks and worn belts before they strand you on the A1 or the M8.

04SERVICE NEEDED

Selling the car soon

A stamped, up-to-date service history adds real pounds to your resale price and reassures buyers.

05SERVICE NEEDED

Unusual smells or new noises since last service

Belts, bearings and fluid leaks often show up as smells or noise before a warning light ever appears.

Local knowledge

Why Edinburgh drivers trust us for scheduled maintenance

City driving here is hard on cars. We know exactly how, and what it does to your vehicle.

Built around tenement parking

Permit zones and shared closes in Marchmont and Bruntsfield make it a nightmare to free up a garage slot for a day. We work wherever your car's already parked, permit and all.

Short winter journeys wear engines faster

Cold-morning runs from Corstorphine or Gorgie rarely get the engine to full temperature, which dilutes oil quicker than motorway miles — we check condition, not just mileage on the clock.

Manufacturer-spec, warranty-safe

We use the fluids and parts your handbook specifies and give you a proper digital record, so a mobile service never becomes an excuse for a warranty claim to be refused.

Corstorphine · 2019 Skoda Octavia Estate

A full service that didn't cost Rachel a day off work

Rachel, a physiotherapist in Corstorphine, was 400 miles past her Octavia's full-service interval but couldn't face losing a working day to drop the car off in town. She booked us for 7am before her first client. Our mechanic arrived with fresh oil, filters and plugs to VW Group spec, worked through the full manufacturer checklist in her driveway, flagged a front pad getting close to the wear limit, and had the car ready before she left for her 9am appointment.

I didn't lose a single minute of my working day, and I've got a proper stamped record for when I come to sell it.

Full service completed on the driveway before the school run, plus an early warning on brake pads before they became a problem.

Outcome

Reviews

What Edinburgh drivers say

Interim service on my BMW 3 Series done outside the flat on Deanhaugh Street — £129, no need to find parking anywhere else. Digital record landed in my inbox that afternoon.

Iain D.

Stockbridge

Booked a major service including the cambelt on our 2016 Honda CR-V. £312 all in, done in the university car park during my shift. Way less hassle than dealer booking.

Priya S.

Newington

Pre-MOT check flagged a worn wiper and a slow coolant leak I hadn't noticed. £59 well spent — passed the MOT first time a week later.

FAQs

Scheduled Maintenance questions

Will this affect my manufacturer warranty?+

No. As long as manufacturer-spec parts and fluids are used and the work is properly recorded — which is exactly what we do — a mobile service does not affect a manufacturer warranty. We give you a digital, dated record that stands up to any warranty check.

What's included in a full vs interim service?+

An interim service covers oil, filter and fluid top-ups with a safety check, and suits high-mileage or twice-yearly drivers. A full service adds spark plugs, a wider checklist covering brakes and suspension, and battery health, and suits most Edinburgh drivers annually.

Can you follow my specific manufacturer schedule?+

Yes. Tell us your make, model, mileage and registration and we'll match the exact interim, full or major service your handbook specifies, including cambelt intervals.

Do you provide a digital service record?+

Every service gets a digital, dated record emailed to you the same day, plus a stamp in your service book if you have a physical one. It's accepted for warranty claims and adds real value when you come to sell.

Can I book recurring services in advance?+

Yes, plenty of our customers set up an annual or six-monthly reminder with us so servicing never gets forgotten or squeezed out by a busy month.
