Servicing Explained
Service Types
We can service any type of car or light commercial irrespective of year including those that are still under warranty!
Our two main service types are:
Fixed Price Service
Very competitive fixed price servicing that includes all parts & VAT
Manufacturers Service
Popular with customers that are looking to make real savings on their cars servicing without it effecting their manufacturers warranty
Is servicing important on a modern car?
It's a simple fact of life that all mechanical items wear out - be it your domestic boiler, the lawn mower or of course your car. Modern technology has increased service intervals but unfortunately it hasn't been able to get rid of them. With simple preventative maintenance you can:
* Reduce the wear that takes place
* Increase the resale value by providing a proper recorded service history
* Cut down on the cost of putting your car through its annual MOT
Why choose James Jackson Central Garage for your servicing?
* We are a strong local independent that invests heavily in modern equipment, training and information (a vital element as today's cars use a great deal of electronics)
* We have been servicing and repairing cars for over 30 years.
* All our work is covered by a unique 12month/12,000 mile national guarantee
* We are approved and regularly inspected by the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA)

Manufacturers Service
Fed up with dealer prices?
As a small well organized Independent Garage we just do not incur the costs a Main Dealer is forced to pass on. Genuine savings of between 30% to 40% can be made on both service and labour costs without it affecting your warranty!
Why should the dealer honour their warranty?
They are required to by law - In October 2003 European Union legislation* came into force allowing cars to be serviced at garages other than the main dealer. Providing:
* Manufacturers Service Schedules are adhered to
* That the parts used are either 'original spare parts' or 'matching quality parts'
Manufacturers Service Schedules
We use the industries leading publisher of technical information - Autodata. The process of finding the exact service schedule for your car can be as detailed as having to look up its engine code!
Parts of the correct quality
We are happy to supply either genuine parts from the main dealer or parts that meet the same quality as laid out in the legislation (a very cost effective alternative)
You tell us!

Cost
All we need is your vehicle details (mainly registration number) and mileage and we will be able to work out a price that we know you will be happy with.
Will it affect my resale value?
With plummeting resale values the only thing you maintain with a manufacturers service history is large service costs. Remember
1. The warranty is unaffected
2. The vehicle has been serviced to the manufacturers specifications
3. Your service book will be stamped in the same way
4. We keep a record of your service history on our computer - If you would like a free copy when you come to sell your vehicle then please give us a ring
