How do I know when my car needs servicing?

For most cars, this is between 10,000 miles to 20,00 miles or 12 months to 24 months.

However, your car should have a service light or schedule, which will tell you when your next car service in Northampton is due. If you’re still unsure, don’t worry. Give us a call and we’ll find out for you.

After your first service at Roade Garage, we’ll let you know 4 weeks before you’re next due.

What’s included in a Roade Main Garage car service?

Lighting & Visibility

Your front and rear lights are rigorously checked for optimal performance, as is your glass, wipers, exterior mirrors and registration plates.

Steering, Drive & Suspension

All joints, gaiters and wheel bearings are extensively inspected, as well as your front and rear shock absorbers and road springs.

Tyre Inspection

All road wheels and tyres are inspected for any issues, and pressures adjusted prior to refitting. We’ll even check your spare wheel or inflation kit.

Under Bonnet

A full under bonnet inspection ensures no leaks and that everything is in working order. If necessary, we’ll replace service items such as your air filter, oil filter, spark plugs or drive belts.

Braking

Both front and rear brake components are checked and measured, allowing us to accurately report on their service life.

Under Vehicle

After your under trays are removed, the engine oil is drained and transmission checked for leaks.

Vehicle Interior

All seat belts, horn, hazard lighting and vehicle controls are inspected. We’ll also check for any warning messages, and ensure the driver displays are correct. This includes analysing your vehicle computers for intermittent or permanent faults.

Final Checks

We’ll finish up with your brake fluid and antifreeze test, before filling your engine with new oil. Once we’ve completed our work we’ll switch off any service lights on your dashboard and update your service history (paper or electronic) to have your vehicle performing at its best.

Light Commercials & Van Servicing

We’re one of the most trusted garages for light commercial vehicle and van servicing in Northampton.

Our team of talented technicians are qualified to perform high-quality repairs and maintenance work on your vehicle. Plus, we only use premium parts and the most advanced technology, specifically designed for vans and light commercial vehicles. This guarantees first-class results every time.

Whether you need a simple repair, a tyre change, electrical diagnostics or a full service, we’ve got the knowledge and know-how for the job. Not only that, we can do most work quickly so you’ll be back on the road in no time.

Once we’ve completed our work we’ll update your service history (whether it’s paper or electronic) and have your vehicle performing at its best.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re concerned about your van or light commercial. As one of the leading independent garages in the area, we’ll make sure everything is functioning as it should.

    Absolute outstanding service by the team at road main garage. I waited whilst my MOT was carried out and was able to comfortably get some work done in the down time whilst my vehicle was being MOT’d. Definitely recommend a visit and I will be back!

    I had intended to take my car to BMW to get this work done as it was a major service and I thought I should have BMW standards. Having said that the car has been serviced it looks great having been washed and I have saved £200 in doing it with these friendly people. Would happily recommend!

  • Juliet Summerton

    4th November 2024

    Staff were very professional and accommodating considering I hadn’t booked and needed a MOT. Was able to leave my car there, in the spacious clean environment, and pick it up after work. Price for the MOT was the same as anywhere but the service was priceless, I will certainly be using this garage in the future.

    Got diverted off A5 due to an accident. Had to come through other villages that had flood water. Damaged my under car seals, drove straight to Roade Main Garage and they looked at my car. Fixed it all within 30 minutes free of charge. What an amazing garage to have on your doorstep. All the staff are amazing. I can not thank all the staff enough for what they did for me today.

    First visit to Roade main garage for a brake fluid change, and I have been very impressed with the customer care, quality of work and the facilities. A lot of main dealer could learn a thing or two. Would recommend to fellow Mini owners to use them. Additionally they are very competitively priced to a Mini dealer and have the OE equipment for service history. Looking forward to my next visit…. Read More
