Just because your car fails its MOT doesn’t mean that you’ll never be able to drive it again. Most cars fail MOT tests for minor reasons. If you book your car in for an MOT test with Vantage Cars, and it happens to fail, you’ll be issued with a VT30 which will outline why your car failed, and what work needs to be carried out. Our team at Vantage Auto Services can carry out the appropriate car repairs for you and then we’ll put it through a partial MOT test. If your car passes an MOT test, then you’ll legally be allowed to once again drive on the roads throughout Stoke On Trent and the rest of the UK.

There is much overlap between a car service and an MOT, although an MOT is 70% a car service, it is still important to have your car serviced every 12,000 miles. Having a car service is vital in keeping your car safe and roadworthy, here at Vantage Auto Services we offer a number of car services which include:

• Oil & Filter Change – An Oil and Filter change is one of the most important parts of a service and is included in all services. It helps your car to run reliably and helps increase fuel efficiency.
• Basic Service – Each type of service builds on the previous level, so a basic service will typically include an oil and filter change and a visual inspection, but there will usually be a top up of all the key fluids in the engine and a check of up to 35 key components to ensure your car is in the best condition possible.
• Full Service –  A Full service typically consists of all basic service work already described, an extra 15-30 additional checks on the car’s components (compared to the basic service) It is important to note, as with the basic service, if the car requires any additional maintenance work this will be an additional cost.
• Major Service – A Major Service will include everything covered in a full service but will also include a change of spark plugs, a change of fuel filters and some other service/wear items that are recommended by the manufacturer’s schedule.

A standard car service is recommended once a year or every 12,000 miles, a comprehensive service every two years or 20,000 miles. Having an annual service for your car is one of the best ways that you can maintain its good condition, as well as avoid basic issues, that if ignored can cause costly damage. 

If you are based in Stoke On Trent, simply book in with Vantage Auto Services today, we can also provide combined MOT and servicing. At Vantage Auto Services, we use high quality tools and parts, ensuring that your car service is provided to only the highest standards.

When it comes to repairs, ensuring your vehicle undergoes a MOT and service should be a priority to deter any issues and problems with your car, which could lead to big repairs.

A full car service will usually entail an oil change along with replacement oil and filters. The complete renewal of all these helps to keep the heart of the engine in prime condition by reducing friction and ensuring fuel is burned in the engine in the most efficient way. It can vary from car to car, but most models will need new spark plugs, a fuel filter and antifreeze every other year.

Having your car serviced regularly will ensure that it Is running smoothly and will distinguish whether work needs to be carried out. Booking your vehicle for an annual car service will identify any potential problems so they can be rectified before turning into a bigger problem.

Many vehicle owners believe that since they have bought or leased their vehicle in a good condition, that they don’t need to keep a regular maintenance check. If you are a car owner and have this mind set, it is important you reconsider this decision in order to keep your car in perfect condition your car will need to be serviced on a regular basis. Maintaining your car on a regular basis means that your car will be working for years to come, so when that service icon light shows up or you receive a call from your service department we’ve got the reasons as to why you shouldn’t ignore it!

• Safety – Accidents happen every year because of owners avoiding vehicle maintenance. Make sure that yourself, your family, and people around you are safe by carrying out regular maintenance checks.
• Vehicle Performance and Reliability – By paying attention to your vehicles vital fluids, oils, and various parts, you can be sure to reduce the internal wear and tear.
• Lower Cost of Ownership – By performing routine maintenance checks you can avoid a major malfunction, which can ultimately lower your cost of ownership, as many of the large – scale problems with vehicles can be identified early and prevented.
• Higher Resale Value – By having your vehicle regularly serviced, and keeping records organised, you can prove that your vehicle has been well maintained and doesn’t have any major problems.
• Reduce Pollution – It is well known that vehicle emissions contribute directly to global pollution, but a vehicle that is constantly maintained will produce lower amounts of dangerous fumes and fluids that can potentially be released into the air and water supply.
• Reduce Roadside Emergencies – Regular maintenance and maintenance checks ensure that you won’t be left stranded on the side of the road or stuck in the middle of nowhere. Alongside this having your car regularly serviced means you won’t have to shell out money for towing, rental cars or even lodging that you otherwise weren’t planning to spend.
