At Dorking Service Centre we offer vehicle servicing for

all makes & models of vehicle, including light commercials.

Regular servicing is necessary to ensure brake safety, engine quality & maintenance of the key components on your vehicle.

Low Mileage? Your service is equally important!

Lower mileage and shorter journey’s put an equal, if not greater strain, on your vehicle’s engine oil. So, it’s equally important that your service is carried out on time with us.

Most manufacturers recommended servicing to be carried out every 12 months. For further information or advice please contact our reception team.

VAN SERVICE DORKING

We can service your electric/hybrid vehicle!

As the drive for lower emissions gradually improves and gathers more momentum, vehicle manufacturers are constantly researching and developing technologies to achieve this. As it stands the focus is to do this through electric and hybrid vehicles.

Electric & Hybrisd Vehicle Servicing Dorking: Electric Cars still require servicing and maintaining in many of the same ways as internal combustion engine vehicles. For example: MOT, Service, Brakes & Tyres

We can look after your Van / Light Commercial Vehicle

Just like a car, your van requires regular maintenance typically in the form of a service.

We always aim to work around your schedule, so if you need your vehicle back by a specific time let us know at point of booking.

We can update your Digital Service Record!

Many brands have introduced Digital Service Records to ensure the integrity of your vehicles service history. For some brands they have been around for quite some time (circa 2010). We have access to all known digital service records including Audi, BMW & Mini, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, VW and many more! Read more here…

Service Now – Save Later

The primary function of engine oil is to PROTECT!

It does this by lubricating key components within your engine, reducing friction, wear & harmful deposit build up.

Replaced on every service with us, the oil filter removes microscopic particles from the oil and supplies clean oil to the rest of the engine.

Oil is the lifeline of your engine!

Regular servicing preserves the heart of the car, your engine. With an increasing need to produce lower emissions, engines have never run at such high tolerances and regular servicing is more important than ever. Most manufacturers recommend you vehicle is serviced EVERY YEAR!

What’s Included in a Service?

We carry out servicing according to manufacturer recommendation. All serviceable items are due for replacement at different intervals so it depends on the age and mileage of your vehicle, as to what is due. Typically, an oil and filter change is due every service. Contact our reception team for further information.

Just When was your Plenum Chamber last checked?

The Scuttle Panel with vents is located in front of the windshield of your vehicle, the Plenum Chamber usually is covered by a plastic cover is below seen when the bonnet is lifted. At the bottom of the plenum chamber there are drain holes to allow rain fall to escape, should these drains block water ingress into the car is inevitable.

The Plenum Chamber cover is a prime place for leaves and small twigs to hide (sometimes wildlife) especially during the Autumn months, more so if you park under or near trees.

In many instances lack of basic maintenance of your vehicles Plenum Chamber leads to unwanted water in the interior of your vehicle, typically referred to as water ingress. In some cars the electronic control units (ECU’s) are under the seats, should they become wet, breakdown and expensive repairs are required.

At all cost, we recommend that all measures are taken to prevent water ingress.

We offer a Plenum Chamber clearing service to mitigate future ingress issues, we will advise during routine servicing if we deem it necessary to carry out this service.  Of course you may realise yourself if it is required when you lift the bonnet, if you see leaves and twigs on the plastic chamber cover, it needs clearing.

Our Policy

At Dorking Service Centre we don’t have our staff on a bonus scheme! What this means, is our technicians are in no way incentivised to find faults with your vehicle, similarly with our Service Advisers. So you can be assured that a fault reported by our staff is genuine and you have been advised the best course of action for YOU the customer.

It’s this very philosophy “putting the customer’s best interest first” that has kept Dorking Service Centre at the top of the independent garage network in the UK.
