An Interim Service (6 months / 6,000 miles) includes an oil and filter change, fluid top‑ups, and a visual safety inspection. A Full Service (12 months / 12,000 miles) adds an air filter replacement, wheel‑off brake inspection, and checks on suspension and exhaust systems – the annual standard.

Yes – we physically stamp your service book with the date, mileage, and service type. For vehicles with digital service records (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc.), we also update the cloud‑based system.

No – under the Block Exemption Regulation (BER), you can have your car serviced at any independent garage without voiding your warranty, as long as they use OEM‑equivalent parts and follow the manufacturer's service schedule. Tyre Bay Bolton meets these requirements.

A Full Service typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours. We offer same‑day service – drop your car off in the morning and collect it in the afternoon.

No – an MOT is a mandatory legal safety inspection required by the DVSA. A service is preventative mechanical maintenance – it checks engine health, replaces fluids, and identifies issues before they become MOT failures. Passing an MOT does not mean your engine is healthy.

We use genuine OEM parts or OEM‑equivalent parts that meet the same standards. This ensures your warranty remains valid and your vehicle performs as intended.

Most manufacturers recommend a Full Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles – whichever comes first. If you do high mileage, an Interim Service every 6 months is recommended. Even with low mileage, oil degrades over time – an annual service is essential.

No – a timing belt (or cambelt) is not included in a standard service. It's a separate major repair recommended every 60,000–100,000 miles depending on the manufacturer. We can inspect and advise if yours is due.

A Major Service is a comprehensive overhaul recommended every 24 months or 24,000 miles. It includes everything in a Full Service, plus cabin/pollen filter, spark plugs (petrol), fuel filter (diesel), and brake fluid testing.

Yes – we have the diagnostic capability to update Digital Service Records (DSR) for all modern vehicles, including BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volkswagen, and Mazda. Your digital service history stays current.

Yes – we offer same‑day servicing at our High Street depot. Drop your car off in the morning (as early as 9:00 AM) and collect it later the same day. Call ahead to book your slot.

Yes – all three service tiers (Interim, Full, and Major) include an oil and filter change. It's the most critical part of any service.

Yes – an Interim Service includes a visual safety inspection of the brakes. A Full Service includes a more thorough wheel‑off brake inspection, checking pads, discs, calipers, and brake fluid levels.

We will never carry out additional work without showing you the problem first. We'll call you, explain the issue, show you photos if possible, and get your explicit permission before proceeding. No surprises.

No – an air conditioning regas is a separate service. However, we offer mobile and depot A/C regassing – ask us for a combined service + A/C quote.

Yes – we offer combined Service & MOT packages. Book both together and save time. We'll carry out the service, do the MOT, and address any advisory items – all in one visit.

Yes – we service commercial vans including Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, and more. We also offer fleet servicing packages – call us to discuss a regular schedule for your vehicles.

Check your dashboard – if the "Service Due" or spanner icon is lit, you're due. Otherwise, check your service book or vehicle handbook. If in doubt, WhatsApp your registration to us – we'll check your service history and advise.

A service may fix the warning light if it's triggered by overdue maintenance (e.g., old oil or dirty filters). However, if the light is caused by a mechanical fault (e.g., oxygen sensor or catalytic converter), we'll diagnose the issue during the service and advise on the repair.
