ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Have you ever wondered what happens to your car when it’s time for a routine maintenance service?
At Prestige we follow a strict service routine and we use check sheets to ensure that every car receives the same high level quality care.
A standard scope service consists of checking the service warning lamps, along with checking the parking brake functions and indicators. A main dealer will often add an additional £25 charge for a standard scope service to their usual charges; we provide this with all of our services and do not charge an additional fee.
A service on petrol and diesel engines can vary slightly, below are two examples of what Prestige will do on a basic oil service to a BMW 335i petrol and a 120d diesel.
