Filters are the heart of every service. The oil filter is changed with every oil change; the air filter keeps dust out of the engine; the fuel filter (especially on diesels) protects the injectors; and the cabin or pollen filter cleans the air you breathe and stops the windows misting. We match each one to your registration, because the same model can use two or three different filters depending on the engine.
Our oil wall carries Comma and Exopro engine oils in the common grades (0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40 and more), plus gear oils, ATF, power steering fluid and brake fluid. Buying the right grade is only half of it: modern engines also need the right manufacturer approval (VW 504/507, MB 229.51, Ford WSS and so on) and the right low-ash specification for cars with a diesel particulate filter. We look up the specification for your car, not just the viscosity.
Brake pads and discs for most cars and vans, plus rear shoes, fitting kits, wear sensors and brake fluid. Discs and pads should be replaced in axle pairs, and many cars need a specific pad for their caliper, so we always check fitment against the registration. Brake cleaner and copper or ceramic grease are on the counter too.
Petrol engines need spark plugs changing at set intervals (anything from 20,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the engine); diesels use glow plugs that help them start from cold. A diesel that is hard to start on a cold morning or smokes white for a moment is often a glow plug on the way out.
Auxiliary (fan) belts, tensioners, coolant hoses, clips and gaskets. Timing belt kits, water pumps and other major-service parts can be ordered in for your exact engine. A timing belt is changed by mileage or age, whichever comes first, and missing it can wreck an engine, so check the interval in your service book.
Doing a service at home? Tell us the registration and whether it is an interim or full service, and we will put the oil, filters, plugs and sump washer together for you. Workshops can order the same kits for delivery on a trade account.
| Service | Usually every | Typical parts |
|---|---|---|
| Interim | 6 months or 6,000 miles | Engine oil, oil filter, sump plug washer, screenwash top-up |
| Full | 12 months or 12,000 miles | Interim parts plus air filter, cabin filter, and fuel filter or spark plugs as scheduled |
| Major | 24 months or 24,000 miles | Full parts plus spark plugs, fuel filter, brake fluid and coolant as scheduled |
Every manufacturer is different, so always check the schedule in your service book; some cars run longer, variable intervals.
Yes, if you are comfortable working on a car and have the right tools: axle stands, a socket set, an oil filter wrench, a drain pan and a torque wrench as a minimum. An oil and filter change is a good first job. Leave brakes and timing belts to a garage unless you have done them before. Keep your receipts and record the service in the book: a documented DIY service still counts for the car’s history.
No. An MOT is a yearly legal check that the car meets road safety and emissions standards; it does not replace any parts. A service is maintenance: changing oil, filters and wear parts to keep the car reliable. Servicing is not a legal requirement, but a car that is serviced on time is far more likely to pass its MOT.
In a grade like 5W-30, the first number with the W (winter) is how easily the oil flows when cold; lower is thinner and protects faster at start-up. The second number is its thickness at running temperature. The approval code on the back of the bottle matters just as much, which is why we look up the oil for your registration.
An interim service is usually an oil and oil filter change. A full service adds the air filter, cabin filter and often the fuel filter and spark plugs. Tell us your registration and the service you are doing and we will put the kit together.
Yes, for most makes and models, along with brake fluid, shoes and fitting parts. We check fitment against your registration before you buy.
Give us your registration. We look up the grade and the manufacturer approval your engine needs, and whether it needs a low-ash oil for a diesel particulate filter.
Follow your service book. Most cars are every 12 months or 10,000 to 12,000 miles; lots of short trips or towing are a reason to change it sooner.
