Car Servicing done differently in Scotland

What car services do Clickmechanic offer?

We offer three different types of service in Scotland: interim service, full service and major service.

The most popular car service booking in Scotland is a Major service for Renault, Ford, and BMW.

What is the difference between the different types of service?

The main difference between the car services offered in Scotland is the number of checks performed.

The Interim Service is a lighter variation of a Full Car Service. When booking an Interim Service in Scotland, your car undergoes many of the checks carried out during a Full Service. As mentioned this is a lighter version, and therefore does not include much of the more detailed inspections like checks on the auxiliary drive belt, battery level and air filter checks.

Our Full Car Service is a series of comprehensive tests on both the inside and outside of the car. It includes fluid checks as well as oil changes. The Scotland mechanic performing the full service will also run an extensive investigation of what is going on under the bonnet.

If you book our Major Car Service in Scotland, your car will undergo all the checks of the Full Car Service, and in addition the mechanic will replace your pollen filter and spark plugs (if a petrol engine). We recommend a Major Car Service at least every two years, however many vehicles will need a full service more frequently.

What happens during a car service?

If you have a car service in Scotland booked via the ClickMechanic platform, a vetted mechanic servicing Scotland will inspect the car. Depending on the type of car service booked (interim, full or major service) he will spend up to 2 hours inspecting your vehicle and replacing filters and fluids (subject to service type booked)

You can have your car serviced at a location of your choice in Scotland, for example on your drive or the car park at your place of work. As we work with mobile mechanics who come to you, there is no need to drop your car off at a garage.

I have booked a car service in Scotland - do I have to be present?

No, there is no need for you to be present during the service so you can go on with your day. Once the mechanic has completed the service, they will sign or stamp the service book.
