Scheduled services maintain warranty validity while extending vehicle lifespan and preventing costly breakdowns.

Autocare fitted a door module too my car
All well and good perfect
However in January 2020 the car alarm was activating stating that the trigger was on the drivers door I returned it to Autocare and they tested this for me and returned a verdict it was the battery because the car wasn't being drove enough I accepted this due to lockdown 39.99
However the fault kept reoccurring
I returned to autocare again they couldn't say what was at fault so an arrangement was made to change the battery if it solved the fault all well and good if not they would change the battery back and

Got my BMW X3 servicing done here back in November. Reasonable prices and good customer service. Will be using them again soon. And they offer NHS discounts which is a bonus!

Spent 3 days trying to fix my smart car. Diagnostic done and cost me 40 before even starting. Then the part had to be ordered in... then the garage couldn't fix my car due to them not having the blueprint of the car, then them saying they could get it at a cost to me but couldn't tell me when they would get it. Complete waste of time. Ended up taking my car back to the manufacturer where they know the car. Ended up paying more but if it means getting the job done right then I guess it's worth it.
