Full Service for All Car Manufacturers

At Blackcircles.com, we offer comprehensive full servicing for all leading vehicle manufacturers — including Ford, Honda, Nissan, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Vauxhall, and many more.

Our services are carried out by trusted independent garages, using high-quality oils and replacement parts that meet or exceed industry standards. While our services adhere to general best-practice guidelines for each vehicle type, they are not manufacturer-approved.

If your car is still under its manufacturer warranty and you're aiming to maintain full compliance, we recommend booking directly with a main dealer or approved service centre.

However, if your vehicle is out of warranty or you're simply looking for reliable, cost-effective servicing from experienced professionals, Blackcircles.com offers a convenient and trusted solution.

Full Car Service

A full car service is a thorough routine maintenance check designed to keep your vehicle in peak condition. While it covers the essential checks and oil changes of an interim service, a full service goes deeper by inspecting and maintaining more components of your car to ensure it’s running smoothly and efficiently.

This service includes everything from changing air filters and checking the brakes, suspension, and exhaust system to topping up essential fluids. It also includes a fault diagnostic test and a road test to confirm everything is working as it should.

Whether you're driving locally or long distances, commuting, or just want peace of mind, a full service ensures your vehicle is in optimal health — helping to catch potential issues before they become costly repairs.

If your car runs on petrol or diesel, here’s what you can expect with a full service:

• Oil and oil filter replacement using manufacturer-specified oil
• New air, fuel, and cabin filters
• Brake fluid replacement
• Check and top-up of all essential fluids
• Suspension, steering, and drive system inspection
• Exhaust and emissions system check
• Battery and charging system test
• Engine diagnostics and fault check
• Reset of service light
• Road test to confirm performance

Hybrid Full Service

Hybrid vehicles require a tailored approach when it comes to servicing. While they share many components with petrol and diesel cars, they also feature high-voltage batteries, electric motors, inverters, and other hybrid-specific systems that need expert attention.

When you book a hybrid full service through Blackcircles.com, our trained technicians will carry out the standard checks — such as oil and filter changes, brake inspections, and suspension assessments — alongside essential hybrid-specific tasks like battery health checks, cooling system inspections, and safety diagnostics.

Hybrid technology can offer improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions, but it must be properly maintained to ensure ongoing performance and longevity. Regular servicing helps prevent warning lights, maintains your vehicle’s efficiency, and ensures your car continues to provide the benefits of hybrid technology.

If your hybrid car runs on both petrol or diesel and electricity, here’s what you can expect:

• All traditional engine service components (as outlined above)
• Hybrid battery health check
• Inverter and hybrid cooling system inspection
• High-voltage wiring and component safety checks
• Regenerative braking system test
• ECU and hybrid-specific diagnostics
• Software updates (where applicable)

Is It Worth Getting a Full Service?

A full service is one of the most valuable investments you can make to protect the longevity and performance of your vehicle. While it may seem like an upfront cost, the long-term benefits far outweigh the expense. Regular full servicing helps ensure that your car remains safe, reliable, and efficient by addressing potential issues before they become major problems.

For instance, replacing worn-out parts like filters, changing the oil, and checking brake fluid can help prevent expensive repairs down the road, while also improving fuel efficiency. A well-maintained vehicle is also less likely to break down unexpectedly, reducing the risk of roadside emergencies and the expensive repairs that can come with them.

Moreover, a full service provides peace of mind, ensuring that your car is performing at its best. It helps provide smoother driving and a more comfortable experience. If you plan on selling your car in the future, a full service history can significantly enhance its resale value. Buyers are often willing to pay more for a car that’s been properly maintained and comes with a comprehensive service record.

In essence, a full service isn’t just about ticking off routine tasks — it’s an investment in your car’s ongoing reliability. Whether you’re aiming to keep your car running for years to come or just want to ensure it’s running smoothly each day, a full service offers undeniable value.

Benefits of a Full Service:

• Improved fuel economy
• Enhanced driving performance
• Early detection of wear or damage
• Longer engine and component life
• Preservation of resale value
• Full service history, which can increase your car’s value

Skipping regular services may save you money in the short term, but it can lead to costly repairs, breakdowns, or MOT failures later on.

Full Service Checklist 

Tip: A Full Service is typically recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles, while a Major Service is ideal every 24 months or 24,000 miles. Interim Services are great between major intervals, especially for high-mileage drivers.
 

What is the difference between a Full and Major service? 

While both a full service and a major service are comprehensive maintenance options for your vehicle, the key difference lies in the depth of inspection and the number of components covered.

A full service typically includes essential checks and fluid replacements, such as an oil change, air filter replacement, brake inspection, and tire checks. It’s designed to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and that all major systems are functioning properly.

On the other hand, a major service is a more extensive procedure, covering everything included in a full service, plus additional checks and replacements of parts that typically wear out over a longer period, such as spark plugs, fuel filters, brake fluid, and coolant. It also includes more in-depth inspections of critical areas like the suspension, exhaust, and steering systems.

Essentially, while both services are important, a major service offers a deeper check of your vehicle’s overall condition, making it ideal for cars with higher mileage or those that haven't been serviced in a while.

What is the difference between a Full and Interim service? 

An interim service is a basic, more frequent check-up designed for high-mileage drivers or those who often drive in demanding conditions. It focuses on essential components that need attention more regularly, such as:

• Oil change
• Fluid checks
• Brake inspection
• Tyre checks
• Lights and electrical checks

Interim services are often recommended every 6,000 miles or 6 months, making them a great option for those who put a lot of miles on their vehicle between full or major services.

In contrast, a full service is a more comprehensive procedure, generally recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months. It includes all the checks of an interim service, but with a deeper focus on more critical parts and systems, including the replacement of air filters, oil filters, and a more detailed inspection of key vehicle components.

If you're looking for a thorough check-up of your car’s systems and want to ensure everything is in good working order, the full service is essential, as it offers a more complete picture of your vehicle’s health.

When Should You Do a Full Service?

Most manufacturers recommend a full service every 12,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. However, it’s always best to consult your vehicle’s service handbook for the exact service interval specific to your car.

Other signs that your car might need a full service include:

• It’s been over a year since your last service
• The service or engine light is on
• Your car is performing poorly or inefficiently
• You plan to sell your car and want to ensure it has a full service record

How Many Miles Before a Full Service?

Most vehicles require a full service every 12,000 miles. If you do a lot of city driving, high-mileage commuting, or heavy-duty driving (like towing), you may need a service sooner. Always refer to your vehicle’s service manual to confirm the recommended intervals.

How Much Would a Full Service Cost?

The cost of a full service typically ranges from £150–£350, depending on:

• Your car’s make and model
• Local garage labour rates
• Whether your car runs on petrol, diesel, or is a hybrid
• Any additional repairs or parts replacements needed

At Blackcircles.com, the price is displayed upfront, so there are no surprise costs. You’ll also benefit from high-quality parts, qualified technicians, and peace of mind knowing your car is in trusted hands.
