Most manufacturers recommend servicing your vehicle every 12 months or 10,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regular servicing helps maintain performance, improve reliability, reduce repair costs, and ensure your vehicle remains safe and roadworthy. At Motorvation Northampton, we offer short, interim, and full service options for all makes and models.

If your vehicle pulls to one side, your steering wheel is off-centre, or your tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s likely that your wheel alignment needs checking.

Thanks to UK Block Exemption regulations, an independent garage can service your vehicle without affecting your manufacturer’s warranty, provided the work is carried out according to the manufacturer’s schedule using quality parts and approved fluids. Our experienced technicians follow manufacturer servicing guidelines to help protect your warranty.

A standard MOT test usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes to complete. If any repairs are required following the inspection, additional time may be needed. We recommend booking your MOT in advance and allowing enough time for any necessary work to be discussed and completed.

Common signs that your tyres may need replacing include low tread depth, uneven wear, cracks in the sidewall, bulges, vibration while driving, or reduced grip in wet conditions. UK law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm, but replacing tyres before they reach this limit can help maintain safety and performance. If you’re unsure, our team can carry out a tyre inspection and provide honest advice on their condition.
