What a car service includes
Garages work to three broad tiers. An interim service changes the engine oil and oil filter, tops up fluids and gives the brakes, tyres, lights and steering a visual check. A full service adds the air filter, usually the fuel and pollen filters, and a deeper inspection covering suspension, exhaust and battery, typically 50 or more check points. A major service adds the longer-life items such as spark plugs and brake fluid.
Because one garage's full service is not always another's, ask for the checklist before you compare prices. A cheaper quote is sometimes just a shorter list of work. Our guides on what is included in a full service and interim vs full service go through it item by item.
What a car service costs
There is no price cap on servicing, unlike the MOT. As a broad guide, the RAC puts a full service at £170 to £210 on a small car and £210 to £300 on a medium one, with large and premium cars higher again. An interim service is usually a third to half the price of a full one.
Most of the garages on YourCarGarage are independents, and their labour rates typically sit well below main dealer rates. Using one does not put a manufacturer warranty at risk, provided the service follows the schedule and is properly recorded. For local quotes, see car service prices in your area below.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a car service cost?
Typically £170 to £210 for a full service on a small car and £210 to £300 on a medium one, with larger and premium cars higher. An interim service is usually a third to half of that. Independent garages generally sit at the lower end. Send a request and the garage confirms its price.
How do I find a cheap car service near me?
Compare two or three local garages rather than booking the first. Pick your town below to see independents near you with their Google ratings, then send a request. Independents usually undercut main dealers for the same work.
What is the difference between an interim and a full service?
An interim service is mainly an oil and filter change with a visual safety check, aimed at higher mileage drivers between annual services. A full service adds more filters and a deeper inspection, typically 50 or more check points.
How often should I service my car?
As a rule of thumb, once a year or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Your handbook and any service light on the dashboard take priority over a garage default.
Will using an independent garage void my warranty?
No, provided the service follows the manufacturer schedule and is properly recorded. A manufacturer cannot require that all work is done in its own network as a condition of the warranty.
