Car Service at Home
A car service at home is a convenient and important part of maintaining your vehicle and keeping it running smoothly. It will involve a range of checks and maintenance tasks that are designed to keep your car in the best possible condition. There are different service options depending on your vehicle and the mileage or time since its last service. We can provide an interim service, full service, major service, and a service for hybrid cars. We can also offer the same for vans too.
The interim service is the most basic level of servicing, as it comes between full services, so it will look at the parts of a car that can change the most, typically within 6,000 miles of driving. These checks will include the oil and filter levels, and topping up of fluids such as oil, brake fluid, coolant and power steering fluid. Lights, tyres, brakes and the exhaust system will all be inspected. A full service is more comprehensive than the interim one and also includes changing spark plugs or air filters. A major service includes all the checks from both the interim and full services, plus additional checks such as replacing timing belts and fuel filters, generally at the time advised by the manufacturer. To delay replacing your timing belt when advised could be a very costly decision. At this stage we do not offer electric car servicing, but we do provide the same levels of service for hybrid vehicles, which includes a much more comprehensive battery health check.
Which car service does your car need?
Interim service
Between full services, typically within 6,000 miles
Oil and oil filter, fluid top-ups, and checks of the lights, tyres, brakes and exhaust.
Full service
Every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes sooner
Everything in an interim service, plus spark plugs and air filter, and a full inspection of the suspension, steering, brakes and underside.
Major service
When your manufacturer’s schedule calls for it
Everything in a full service, plus longer-interval items such as the fuel filter and, where it’s due, the timing belt.
Your manufacturer's schedule decides what's due, so tell us the make, model and mileage when you book and we'll confirm which service your car needs before we come out.

As mentioned, an important aspect of a service will be to replace the engine oil. As there are many variants of engine oil, it is essential to use the correct grade, type, quality and quantity of oil for your vehicle in order to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The oil filter is replaced with all service options, as this is very good practice to maximise the prevention of dirt and debris from reaching the engine.
In addition to changing oil filters, pollen filters (sometimes referred to as cabin filters) and brake fluid are also replaced more frequently. As there are still so many pollutants in the air and natural airborne substances such as pollen, an efficient pollen filter will dramatically reduce the impact they may make on allergy sufferers who are travelling in your vehicle.
Mobile Vehicle Services
Part of our mobile vehicle services includes checking the interior of your vehicle for any signs of wear or damage. This includes checking the operation of brakes from the inside, the steering controls and column. We then check the gearbox, horn and mirrors. If any of these components are not functioning properly, they should be replaced or repaired as soon as possible. Whilst the horn and mirrors may not affect the way your vehicle handles and drives on the road, they are important from a safety perspective, and defects with either are likely to be reasons your vehicle may fail its MOT.

After we have inspected the interior of the vehicle we will inspect the exterior. Our mobile mechanics inspect for any body damage, including the wheels and trims, for dents, scratches or other signs of knocks, as well as general wear and tear. It is also important to check the wheels and trims for any damage that may have occurred, including underneath hub caps. We will also inspect the condition of the fuel cap seal to ensure that no fuel has leaked, or can leak, from the top of the tank.
We will run your engine while inspecting the outside of your car to listen to your vehicle idling and see if any smoke is visible from your exhaust pipe. Both visual and audio clues can indicate that there may be an issue with the engine or exhaust system.
We check that all exterior lighting works as it should, as this is another important safety area and one which again could cause issues at an MOT if not rectified beforehand.
Full Car Service near me
As part of a full service, measures to maintain the engine's performance are essential for a vehicle's longevity and performance. One of the most important steps in a full car service is to drain and refill the engine oil with the correct grade, type, quality and quantity of oil, and to then have this running through a clean oil filter along with a new sump plug seal.
We check the condition of your radiator to ensure there are no leaks, as a good radiator will look after your engine and a leaking one will not!
We also inspect the underside of your car or van. It is essential to check the condition and security of the undertray, as this can affect the overall performance of your vehicle. We carry out a thorough visual check of the fuel lines for any signs of wear or damage. We also check clutch operation and carry out any adjustments to help performance and longevity, along with topping up the clutch fluid levels for optimal performance.
We check driveshaft gaiters and grease prop shafts to prevent premature wear or damage.

A part of the final checks and process before we give you the thumbs up on your vehicle service is resetting your service light (if you have one). We enter your vehicle's data system to reset the service light, so that it is triggered to come on again when the next applicable service is due, and you know that if it is a dual-meaning light and it comes on again soon, it is another issue. The fact that the light is no longer on when you first start the car following one of our services is also a visual indication that your car or mobile van service has been completed and your vehicle is good to be driven.

The very last part of completing our car services is to stamp your service book, if you have one. Stamping your vehicle log book provides evidence, both for yourself and for a prospective car buyer, that your vehicle is in good working order, and also acts as a warranty for our work too.
So if you need an interim, full or major service, it can be done whilst you remain in the comfort of your own home, and you simply need to step outside to collect your car. Please get in touch with your local mobile mechanic in Coventry- D&E Auto Repairs to You.

Frequently Asked Mobile Car Servicing Questions
Why choose a mobile mechanic in Coventry to carry out my car service?
As with all our mobile services, we can carry this out at your home or business, so it will be extremely convenient for you. With low overheads, you will find our mobile vehicle services extremely competitive too.
How do I know when to book my car in for a service?
Getting your car serviced regularly is an important part of vehicle maintenance, so it’s essential to keep track of when your car service is due. The best way to determine when your car service is due is to check your vehicle log book for the last servicing stamp. This will tell you how many miles have been travelled since the last service and give you a good indication of when the next one should be done. If you haven't got a log book or a handbook, then your vehicle manufacturer will be able to provide the appropriate time intervals or number of miles travelled. These days you are likely to find these guides by simply searching online with the make and age of your vehicle. Manufacturers have made it even easier with newer cars. Their on-board computers will alert the driver to keep track of when their car service is due. Sometimes the warning symbol which comes up may mean more than one thing, but if nothing feels wrong and a spanner lights up, this is quite a common car notification to organise a service. It is important to have your vehicle checked if this symbol comes up before a service is due based on your mileage or timeframe, as this could mean that there is a genuine problem or potential problem.
If I have my engine oil and filters changed, do I still need a service?
Whilst an engine oil and filter change is one of the standard parts of a car service, it only forms part of the service. Whether it is an interim or full service, there are many more checks carried out on your vehicle. Your vehicle log book will not be stamped when filters are changed unless this is within a service. Both an interim and a full service will cover a comprehensive check of all components, including brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, lights and fluid levels. Our mobile mechanics will also inspect the engine and other parts for wear and tear and advise on any necessary repairs or replacements. A full service will also reset the service light on your dashboard, so you know when it’s time to book in again, if you have this feature.
Is it really worth getting my car serviced?
Yes. Regular car servicing is essential for keeping your vehicle in good condition and running smoothly. Whilst newer cars and certain manufacturers may have their own specific recommendations for particular vehicles, it is generally accepted that a car should get a full service every 12,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes sooner. At D&E Auto Repairs to You we carry out full servicing for all major makes and models of car and van, using official manufacturer service schedules to determine when your next service is due and the type of service required. Regular servicing can help to keep your car running smoothly and identify potential problems early on, reducing the risk of more serious and costly problems in the future.
Do you service hybrid and electric cars?
We service hybrid cars, with the same levels of service as a petrol or diesel car plus a more comprehensive battery health check. We don't currently service fully electric cars.
Can you service my car at work?
Yes. We can carry out your service at your home or at your workplace, wherever the car can be safely worked on, so you don't lose any time.
Do you service vans?
Yes. We carry out interim, full and major services on vans as well as cars.
Will you stamp my service book?
Yes. Stamping the service book is the last part of every service we carry out, and it gives you a record of the work for when you come to sell the car.
