Everything you need to know about Car Servicing
What is a car service?
A car service is a routine check-up and maintenance visit that helps keep your car safe, reliable and running properly. It is separate from the MOT, which is the annual legal test of roadworthiness and safety. Many drivers find it easier to have both done in one visit.
At Rishi’s MOT Centre, an independent garage in Upton Park, we service all makes of car. We are rated 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Google reviews, and you can read what drivers say on our customer reviews page.
How much does a car service cost in Greater London?
Our Major Service & MOT bundle starts from £360.00. It combines a major service with an MOT test in a single booking, which we think is good value for drivers who want both sorted at once.
The final cost can depend on your car, so please call us on +44 7534 768739 if you would like to talk through what your vehicle needs before you book.
How long does a service take?
Allow about 180 minutes for the Major Service & MOT. That is roughly three hours, so it is worth planning your day around the booking.
What does a service generally involve?
Exact work depends on the car and the type of service, but a major service generally involves a thorough inspection of the car and the replacement or adjustment of parts that wear over time. The aim is to catch small problems before they turn into expensive ones.
In our bundle, the MOT test is included too. The MOT is an annual test of roadworthiness and safety. You can find out more on our MOT testing page, where MOTs start from £49.99.
What happens if something needs fixing?
We give you clear advice rather than a vague list. If your car fails its MOT, we provide an itemised list of the repairs needed, carry them out in our workshop and arrange the retest. That means you do not have to take the car elsewhere.

- Anyone whose car is due its annual MOT and who has not had it serviced for a while.
