About this service

Looking for an Interim Service in Ilford?

An interim service is a smart “in-between” check carried out every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first). It catches issues early, protects your engine, and keeps running costs down — perfect for high-mileage or city-driven vehicles.

What’s included in our Interim Service

  • Engine oil & filter change with manufacturer-spec oil
  • Top-ups: screenwash, coolant/antifreeze, brake & power steering fluids
  • Brakes: visual inspection of pads, discs, hoses & hydraulics
  • Steering & suspension safety checks
  • Tyres & TPMS: tread depth, pressures and condition
  • Exhaust & emissions visual check
  • Drive belts & hoses visual inspection
  • Lights, horn, wipers & washers operation check
  • Battery health & charging system test
  • OBD fault code scan (where applicable)

We’ll send you a digital report with any advisory items so you can plan repairs before they get expensive.

When should I book an interim service?

  • Every 6 months or ~6,000 miles
  • Frequent short trips, lots of stop/start or ride-share use
