What will happen during my service?

The key points we’ll cover will depend on the type of service you choose. Take a look below at our different
servicing options, and see which of them best fits your needs.

If you’re not sure which is right for you and your vehicle, please get in touch and a friendly member of our
expert team will help.

Interim service

It’s essential that you service your car according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule. If you’re a high-mileage car user, you’ll want to book in for an interim service every six months, or every

6,000 miles

– whichever occurs first. This will help to keep your car in the best possible condition and maintain optimum performance.

During an interim service, our expert technicians will investigate 50 key points, including:

  • Testing all the main moving parts of your car
  • Performing an oil and filter change
  • Topping up essential fluids
  • Removing the wheels to carry out brake, steering and suspension checks

We will also stamp your service book, or update your digital service record.

Full service

Most manufacturers recommend a full service every 12 months, or every

12,000 miles

– whichever comes first. It’s really important that you abide by these guidelines. Regular servicing allows us to identify any potential problems early on, and reduces your risk of breaking down.

During a full service, our expert technicians will investigate over 75 key points, including:

  • Testing all the main moving parts of your car
  • Performing an oil and filter change
  • Carrying out an air filter change
  • Topping up essential fluids, including brake fluid, power steering fluid and coolant
  • Removing the wheels to carry out brake, steering and suspension checks
  • Checking climate control and air conditioning systems
  • Looking into engine diagnostic codes, and fully examining under the bonnet and under the vehicle
  • Using high-quality parts that will go the distance

We will also stamp your service book, or update your digital service record.

Major service

For your complete peace of mind, it’s advised that you arrange a major service every

24 months

– by us and by manufacturers.

As well as investigating all the key points we’d cover in an interim and full service, a major service involves replacing parts that are recommended to be renewed every two years, including your cabin filter and brake hydraulic fluid.

We use only the highest quality parts, and make professional recommendations based on our combined 80 years of experience in the motor trade. So you can rest assured you’re receiving the best value, and only instructing work that is truly necessary.

Overall excellent customer service from start to finish over a 6 month problematic period. We were welcomed and treated the same by all staff. No pressure to buy, just left to look around any car at our leisure. We had a initial problem in the first week with our fiat 500, which was resolved straight away, then after about 4 months we had gearbox/clutch issues and was sent to fiat to have the gearbox replaced under warranty. All issues were resolved quickly and a courtesy car was provided to us. Not pleased with the issues the car had but chequers did all they could to make it as easy as possible.

Just a quick mail to say many thanks for your assistance in getting my car seat repaired. As mentioned you did say when I bought the car if I needed help, 'call in'. I needed help, I called in and true to your word you resolved my challenge. Once again may thanks to you and Ed for organising the repair. kind regards Spike

I recently brought a Nissan juke from Chequers, and have been incredibly impressed by the level of service I received. The staff are friendly, honest and genuinely care about helping you find the perfect car. They are also involved in the community and we are lucky to have them in Lightwater! Would definitely recommend, and will look to use them in the future. Thank you to Serge & Gary who made the experience quick and easy – you guys are brilliant.

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, 5 stars just doesn’t seem enough! From the my initial call to Chequers to the moment I left them with my lovely clean new car, I felt valued, respected and confident that I was buying through a company who I could trust. I never felt pressured in any way and was looked after throughout every step of the journey. I would not hesitate to recommend Chequers and their fantastic team (particularly Gary, Sergio and Chris) to anyone wanting to buy a used car with comprehensive warranty ?.
