Full Vehicle Service in Gedling, Nottingham
Think of a Full Service as a comprehensive annual health check for your car. It is the most thorough service we offer, going far beyond a basic oil and filter change to inspect and maintain your vehicle from top to bottom. At Arnold Lane Service, our Full Vehicle Service is designed to keep your car running safely, efficiently, and reliably, helping you prevent costly breakdowns before they happen.
Our experienced technicians in Gedling use quality parts and follow manufacturer specifications to ensure your car receives the highest standard of care, protecting its warranty and enhancing its long-term value.
Why is a Full Service So Important?
Regular, in-depth servicing is the single best thing you can do for your vehicle. A Full Service offers crucial benefits that an MOT test alone does not.
- Maximises Safety: We conduct thorough checks of critical components like your brakes, suspension, and tyres to ensure they are in safe working order.
- Improves Performance & Efficiency: Fresh oil, new filters, and clean spark plugs help your engine run smoother, perform better, and use fuel more efficiently, saving you money at the pump.
- Increases Vehicle Lifespan: Proactive maintenance identifies and rectifies wear and tear, significantly extending the life of your engine and other major components.
- Protects Resale Value: A complete and up-to-date service history, stamped by a reputable garage, is one of the most valuable assets when you come to sell your car.
Our Comprehensive Full Service Checklist
Our Full Service is an extensive inspection covering all key areas of your vehicle. While specific checks may vary slightly by make and model, our service typically includes everything from an Interim Service, plus:
| Service Area | Key Checks & Replacements |
|---|---|
| Engine | Engine oil drained and replaced, new oil filter fitted, new air filter fitted, new spark plugs (petrol) or fuel filter (diesel). |
| Brake System | Full inspection of brake pads, discs, callipers, and hoses for wear and leaks. Brake fluid level and condition checked. |
| Wheels & Tyres | All tyres checked for tread depth, pressure, and condition. Wheel alignment and balancing assessed. |
| Steering & Suspension | Comprehensive check of all suspension components, including shock absorbers, springs, and linkages for wear or damage. |
| Cooling System | Radiator and coolant hoses checked for leaks. Antifreeze strength and level checked and topped up. |
| Exhaust System | Full exhaust system visually inspected for leaks, damage, and corrosion. |
| Fluid Levels | All essential under-bonnet fluids checked and topped up, including screen wash, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. |
| Final Checks | All exterior lights and horn function checked. Battery condition tested. Windscreen wipers and washers checked. Service light reset and service book stamped. |
Full Service vs. MOT: What’s the Difference?
This is a common question. While both are vital for your car, they serve very different purposes.
| Full Vehicle Service | MOT Test |
|---|---|
| A proactive health check. It is a comprehensive maintenance routine designed to keep your car in the best possible condition. | A reactive safety inspection. It is a minimum legal requirement to ensure your car is roadworthy on the day of the test. |
| Parts are replaced (like oil, filters, spark plugs) to prevent future problems. | No parts are replaced. The test only identifies current faults that make the car unsafe. |
We recommend booking a Full Service at the same time as your MOT. This allows us to fix any potential issues before the test, saving you time and money on a potential re-test.
