FAQ Servicing
Yes, we offer a tyre repair service for punctures in the ‘minor repair area’. For punctures close to or on the sidewall of the tire, a replacement tyre is needed for safety. Due to the way they’re manufactured, we also can’t repair run-flat tyres safely.
The oil warning light illuminates when the oil level is too low. By replacing or topping up your engine oil the oil warning light should automatically turn off without the need to use diagnostics equipment. When you bring your vehicle to Kwik Fit for an oil change or a service, our technicians will ensure the oil warning light is not illuminated before returning your vehicle.
The engine oil level warning light is typically amber or red and depicts an oil can with a drip of oil coming from the spout.
At present, we are only able to do mobile tyre fitting. This is because Full and Interim Services often require the use of our car lifts for safe operation. If you require mobile tyre fitting, visit this page.
The quote you receive for your service is based on two factors – the size of your engine and the recommended type of oil for your vehicle. Servicing of vehicles requiring synthetic or specialist oils will be slightly more expensive and larger engines require more oil.
Further InformationNo, it’s not illegal to not service your car. However, if you have a new or approved used car then missing a service may void any warranties you have – it’s best to check with your manufacturer and/or dealer. If your car needs a service, go with someone you can rely on – get in touch with your local Kwik Fit garage.
It’s not a legal requirement, but is a really good idea if you want to pass the MOT with fewer hitches. A regular service is also a great way to generally keep your car in good condition. See our servicing options here.
Please refer to our Service Plan information page for further details.
Further InformationManufacturer servicing is carried out to the specification of the vehicle’s manufacturer and therefore maintains your vehicle’s warranty. The service plan is specific to your car’s make, model age and mileage for those keen to follow the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule. No need to go to a dealership - a manufacturer service from Kwik Fit will give you a valid stamp in your log book and upholds your warranty.
Manufacturer service pricing depends on the make and model of your vehicle. Contact your local Kwik Fit servicing centre to get a quotation today.
Both our interim service and full service include essential checks, fluid level top ups and an oil and oil filter replacement. In addition, our full service includes additional checks including wheel alignment, wheel bearing and wheel balancing inspections plus the replacement of air filters.

Further InformationA full service is ideal for an annual maintenance programme for your car and is recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months - whichever is sooner. Some manufacturers recommend more frequent checks. Interim servicing is ideal for vehicles used for short, mainly urban journeys or for those who wish to service vehicles doing very high mileage more regularly. An interim service every 6,000 miles or 6 months helps keep your car safe and road worthy between full services.
We are not currently able to service hybrid vehicles of any type or supply batteries for hybrid vehicles. However, we can perform MOT's and various repairs. Please speak to your local centre to find out what work can be done.
