Find out about our fixed price Bosch servicing packages or contact us to arrange your car service now. A Service: 10,000 miles or 1 year and subsequently every 20,000 miles or 2 years (whichever comes soonest). This is an interim service.
B Service: 20,000 miles or 1 year after previous service (whichever comes soonest) and subsequently every 20,000 miles or 2 years. This is an intermediate service. Flexible Service System (FSS): based on driving conditions and service indicator will illuminate when due. This system is used on current models and is a cost saving feature. It uses long life engine oil. We have Mercedes diagnostic equipment plus Autologic and Bosch to allow us full coverage and to provide cost effective, accurate fault diagnosis. Brake fluid should be renewed every two years. Air conditioning should be serviced every two years as odours can build up in the system and it also needs cleansing and checking that it is working effectively. Also, the gas dissipates over time and requires topping up "My cars have been serviced and looked after by Car-Nect for nearly twenty years. The longevity of this association speaks of a well run business that is trustworthy, will give honest advice, exemplary workmanship in a very friendly atmosphere. Well done Chris, Clare and the team."
