Why can car services differ in price?

With so many car servicing options available, it can sometimes be confusing to find out exactly what services your car needs and how much it will cost.

There are a few reasons why there is so much variation in the pricing of car servicing - it will mainly depend on the make and models of the car, as the number of aspects that need to be checked varies from car to car.

Other factors that can affect car servicing price include:

• Age of your car
• Engine size
• Technological attributes
• Whether you drive a fuel-powered or electric car

Therefore mechanics will often calculate a price which is based upon an individual's car rather than quoting a standard price.

Different car servicing options

The price can also change depending on the car servicing you would like to opt for. The choice of vehicle services are:

• Interim car service - recommended every 6 months; this servicing option checks various things such as front suspension, exhaust, brake fluids, a road test and more.
• Full car service - it's advised to have a full service every 10,000 miles as it ensures everything is in working order and includes essential checks, such as fluid changes.

Wherever possible, we recommend combining a service with an MOT, as there are elements of the MOT test that servicing does not cover, such as brake performance readings and headlight aim.
