Interim Service
Most suitable for high mileage vehicles as a bi-annual check.
If you make regular short trips or have notably high mileage, we recommend booking in for an Interim Service every 6 months or 6,000 miles.
This servicing type is perfect for drivers who travel a lot for work, have a designated ‘run-around’, or make frequent stop-and-start journeys like school runs or deliveries.
This erratic style of driving wears down brakes and tyres far more quickly than journeys of regular duration, leading to increased wear and tear, potential hazards, and increased breakdown risk.
If you drive little and often, and are seeking peace of mind, book in for an Interim Service at your local Kwik Fit today to receive high-quality and reliable servicing at a reasonable price. Not only will our technicians check your lights, instruments, and fluid levels, but your suspension, tyres, and brakes will also be examined thoroughly.
For a more detailed explanation of what’s involved in a Kwik Fit Interim Service, take a look at the checklist on our car service prices page.
Full Service
Recommended for all average-mile drivers as an annual maintenance plan.
As a yearly car maintenance programme, Full Services should be performed every 12,000 miles or 12 months. If you’re looking to stay safe on the road and maintain the value of your vehicle, this is the car service for you.
The Kwik Fit Full service is perfect for drivers with an average mileage — hybrid or otherwise — who are keen to stick to a low-maintenance service schedule.
Alongside everything included in the Interim Service, Full Services also include rigorous brake and engine inspections, under-bonnet area checks, air filter replacements, and more. For an even more detailed breakdown of the processes involved in a full car service with Kwik Fit, you can read through the checklist on our servicing page.
Manufacturer's Service
Most suitable for newer vehicles under a manufacturer warranty and electric vehicles.
As one of our most popular servicing options for owners of new and newly new vehicles, we recommend that drivers make use of our Manufacturer’s Service to keep up to date with their manufacturer’s servicing schedule - particularly if they hold a warranty.
This car service is ideal for drivers looking to stick to their manufacturer’s guidance in order to maintain their vehicle’s performance and resale value. Since 2002, drivers have not been legally required to return their vehicle to its original dealership to get it serviced under warranty - Kwik Fit is here to ensure its customers receive an equivalent service but also save you money on dealership prices.
It's also the perfect plan for full electric vehicle owners - there's no need to visit the dealership were you purchased your EV, Kwik Fit technicians are fully trained and accredited to work on electric vehicles at a growing number of our centres, so you can get an electric vehicle service for less that will also maintain your warranty.
Book in for a manufacturer service with Kwik Fit by contacting your local centre, for a service that is not only specific to your vehicle but one that won’t invalidate your warranty with your dealership. Our service technician will use genuine manufacturer service schedules and be able to give you a quote based on the specific model, age and/or mileage of the vehicle.
