In a pickle after my suspension failed while on holiday in Kippford. They sorted out the issue, kept me in the loop and informed - was ready for collection when they said it would be. Great service and didn’t break the bank. Mark Beever 28th July 2021.

Had an engine warning light come on whilst on holiday. Hyundai let me down but this garage came up trumps. Booked me in same day. Called in early as engine light went out. Spoke to mechanic and gave symptoms before I had checked air filter. Really nice mechanic. Didn't try and rip me off by checking codes for no reason

We needed an emergency quick fix while touring around Scotland (many 100s of miles from home) and were a bit wary of going to a new (to us) and untested garage.

Why You Need To Service Your Car
1
It Keeps You Safe: Servicing your vehicle highlights problems before they become an issue. Unfortunately, thousands of accidents happen each year that would have been avoided had the owner serviced their vehicle. So, don’t put your family in a life-threatening situation.
2
It Reduces Stress: There aren’t many more stressful things than your car not starting before an important journey. However, servicing drastically reduces the likelihood, saving you those nightmare moments. It keeps your car reliable. It prolongs its life and it will make your MOT a breeze.
3
It Saves You Money: Servicing identifies issues before they transform into something much more costly. Not only that, servicing keeps your engine running smoothly, which saves you money at the petrol station by improving your mpg.
4
Vehicle Maintenance: Regular servicing preserves and prolongs the life and reliability of your vehicle. In turn, this can reduce the risk of a breakdown and can help maintain the future resale value.
When does my car need a service?
Many vehicles nowadays have service indicators or service lights which tell you when your car is ready for servicing. If not, your car should have an annual service schedule, which we can retrieve, just give us a call.
Then, you can relax. After your car has been serviced with us, we’ll send you a friendly reminder before your next service is due.
What’s Included In A Service?
A car service in Castle Douglas by our multi-award-winning team of technicians is done to keep your car safe and your warranty healthy. We do everything like the main dealerships, but at a more affordable price and with that extra care you only get from top independent garages.
Check out the areas your car service will cover below:
Your Service Checklist
1
Lighting & Visibility: Your front and rear lighting are rigorously checked for optimal performance, as is your glass, wipers, exterior mirrors and registration plates. We leave nothing to chance.
2
Under Bonnet: A full under bonnet inspection ensures no leaks and everything is working order. If necessary, we’ll replace service items such as your air filter, oil filter, spark plugs or drive belts.
3
Braking: Both front and rear brake components are checked and measured, allowing us to accurately report on their service life. Ultimately, brakes save lives.
4
Steering, Drive & Suspension: All joints, gaiters and wheel bearings are extensively inspected, as well as your front and rear shock absorbers and road springs.
5
Tyre Inspection: Your wheel health is vital. All road wheels and tyres are inspected for serviceability and any issues. Tyres pressures are then adjusted prior to refitting. We’ll even check your spare wheel or inflation kit if applicable.
6
Vehicle Interior: Your interior is as important as your exterior. So, all seat belts, horn, hazard lighting and vehicle controls are inspected. We’ll also check for any warning messages, including analysing your vehicle computers for intermittent or permanent faults.
7
Under Vehicle: After your under trays are removed, the engine oil is drained and transmission checked for leaks.
8
Final Checks: We’ll finish up with your brake fluid and antifreeze test, before filling your engine with new oil.
