    It’s recommended that, for the average driver, you should book your car in for a service at least once a year.

    • Improve fuel efficiency as well-maintained vehicles often consume less fuel, which also saves you money

    • Keep you and your car safe with regular checks that ensure your vehicle's brakes, tyres, and other safety features are in optimal condition

    • Enjoy a smoother ride by keeping your vehicle running in the best condition possible

    • Validate the warranty, as many vehicle warranties require regular servicing to remain valid

  • Can I use any garage for my car warranty?

    Whether you can use any garage for your car warranty depends on the specific terms of your warranty contract.

    For manufacturer's warranties

    You can usually use any garage as long as they:

    • Use manufacturer-approved parts
    • Follow the manufacturer's service schedule
    • Keep detailed records of the work carried out

    For extended warranties

    The specific terms of your warranty contract will dictate whether or not you need to use specific approved garages. Some will let you use any VAT-registered garage.

    Important note

    Whichever type of car warranty you have, always check your warranty terms and conditions before booking in with a garage.

    If in doubt, ask your warranty provider for a list of approved garages in your area and use one of them.

  • How do I find a reputable garage?

    To ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and running smoothly, consider these tips when choosing a local garage / vehicle service in Poole:

    • Check online reviews to determine their reputation and quality of work

    • Ask about their experience with vehicle services, especially dealing with your specific make and model of vehicle

    • Ensure they have public liability insurance to cover potential accidents or damages while they’re working on your vehicle
