Major Ford Service

A major service is the most in-depth option for maintaining your Ford and is typically recommended every two years or 24,000 miles. It includes everything from a full service, along with additional checks and replacements such as air filters, fuel filters, and spark plugs depending on your model.

This level of servicing is perfect for higher-mileage vehicles or those due for a more detailed inspection. With expert technicians and Ford-appropriate parts, it helps ensure your car stays reliable, efficient, and ready for the road ahead.

Full Ford Service

A full service is a comprehensive check-up that helps keep your Ford performing at its best. It covers vital areas like oil and filter changes, brake inspections, tyre checks, fluid top-ups, and more.

Recommended every 12 months or 12,000 miles, it’s the ideal way to catch wear and tear early, maintain fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your vehicle. All work is carried out by trained technicians using high-quality parts that meet Ford standards, so you can drive away with confidence.

Interim Ford Service

An interim service is a shorter, essential check designed to keep your Ford in good shape between full services. It’s ideal for high-mileage drivers or those who want peace of mind between annual check-ups.

This service typically includes an oil and filter change, tyre and brake checks, fluid top-ups, and a general inspection of key components. It helps maintain performance and safety, making sure your car stays running smoothly until your next full service.
