Car Servicing in Hitchin | Bowles Garage

One of the easiest and most effective ways to ensure your vehicle performs efficiently, stays safe on the road, and doesn’t drastically lose value due to falling into a state of disrepair, is by scheduling in interim and annual car servicing at a trusted garage.

Bowles Garage, situated in Hitchin and covering the wider Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire areas, including nearby Barton Le Clay, provides dealership-standard car servicing at the kinds of competitive costs you’ll only get at a local workshop.

How are we able to offer car servicing at lower costs than a main dealer or fast-fit centre? Because of lower overheads. We’re a smaller, family-operated garage that focuses on serving a smaller customer-base through tailored services, delivered to dealership standards.

Types of Car Servicing

There are three core types of car servicing available to book in for at our Hitchin garage. These are:

Interim Car Servicing – A stripped-down form of service that manufacturers recommend your vehicle receives every 6 months or 6,000 miles. Includes an oil and filter change.

Full Annual Car Servicing – A comprehensive multi-point check of over 80 different items. As the name suggests, this is recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

Major Car Servicing – Every two years, book in for major car servicing. This is a full annual service that also covers additional, extra manufacturer items. In two words: “the works”.

So whether you’re a private, trade or fleet customer in need of a reliable local option for car servicing in Hitchin and Barton Le Clay, consider booking in at Bowles Garage. All technicians are trained to GNVQ levels, and have worked in the industry for an accumulative 90 years.

Benefits of Car Servicing

There are numerous benefits that car servicing affords. Firstly, it improves road safety as it gives our mechanics an opportunity to identify any emerging issues and nip them in the bud. An oil and filter change, part of all car servicing packages, also helps your vehicle run smoothly and safely.

Another reason motorists around Hitchin and Barton Le Clay should keep on top of this essential form of maintenance, is that car servicing helps you protect your vehicle’s value. If you ever go to trade it in or sell it second hand, a full service history will help you get the right kind of price. Vehicles that have been well taken care of are simply more appealing than those in disrepair!

Then there’s the fact that car servicing reduces your running costs. Improved fuel efficiency, reduced chance of breakdown and a similarly reduced chance you’ll require repair, all make car servicing extremely likely to pay for itself in the mid to long-term. It’s simply economical.
