Servicing
What is a Car Service?
A motor vehicle service is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has traveled a certain distance. The service intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer in a service schedule and some modern cars display the due date for the next service electronically on the instrument panel.
​
Ideally, we'd advise anything between 6 months to a year for a service depending on what type of service you require.
​
The completed services are usually recorded in a service book which is rubber stamped by 1st Mr Clutch upon completion of each service. A complete service history usually adds to the resale value of a vehicle and goes a long way in helping to resell your car faster.
Why use 1st Mr Clutch?
At 1st Mr Clutch, not only do we use the best parts for your car, we also provide a fast, reliable and cheaper price as compared to our competitors.

Services we offer:
Interim Service
An interim service is a basic service that we recommend to be taken every 6 months. This includes, an oil change with some additional checks and basic maintenance included, such as checks for worn tyres, faulty lights and leaking hoses. At 1st Mr Clutch we will also top up your car's coolant, brake and power steering fluid if required.

Full Service
​
A full service includes a much wider range checks and service part replacements than an interim service. This is ideal for drivers doing lower annual mileages who will only have their cars serviced once a year.
The list below gives an idea of the range of tasks that are included in a full service:
-
Oil and filter change
-
New air filter
-
New fuel filter (diesel engines)
-
New spark plugs (petrol engines)
-
Extensive checks for leaks, wear and damage, including steering system and driveshaft
-
Removal of wheels and brakes checked
-
Wheel bearings checked for excessive play (wear)
-
Brake cylinders, pipes and hoses checked for leaks or damage
-
Suspension checked for wear or damage
-
Clutch operation checked (manuals)
-
Handbrake operation checked and adjusted if necessary
-
Brake fluid tested and replaced if necessary
-
Reset service light
-
Tyres checked for wear, damage and signs of misalignment
-
Exhaust system checked for corrosion, damage or leaks
In addition to the standard service procedure, a full service is a good time to have any niggling problems investigated.
Our mechanic at 1st Mr Clutch conducting this service will be inspecting your car closely and will also have to test drive it at some point, so if you point out any problems in advance, they will have a good chance of tracking them down and repairing them as part of the service. (This may have an additional cost but we will be transparent with you and explain everything before going ahead with anything.)
​
Major Service
​
A major service has all the checks that are part of a full service but also includes a timing belt/chain change.
Depending on the vehicle, after a certain amount of miles it is recommended to change the timing belt/chain. At 1st Mr Clutch we can provide you with this service too.
