The service most cars need every year
A full car service is the annual check most cars need, due every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. It's more thorough than a quick interim check, but without the extra cost of the two-yearly major service items your car doesn't need yet.
- Follows your manufacturer's schedule — so your warranty, finance agreement and service history stay exactly as they should.
- No guesswork about what you're paying for — we confirm exactly what's due before anything is booked.
- Recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

What a Full Service Adds Over an Interim Service
A full service builds on everything covered in a quick interim check, then goes further. Here's specifically what gets added:
Air filter replacement
A clogged air filter isn't checked on an interim service; on a full service it's replaced.
Pollen/cabin filter replacement
For clean air inside the cabin, checked and replaced as needed.
Brake fluid condition check
Tested for moisture contamination (not replaced — that's a major-service item).
Coolant/antifreeze level and condition check
Protects against overheating and corrosion.
Suspension and steering component inspection
Bushes, joints, and linkages checked for wear.
Battery health test
Load-tested, not just a visual glance.
Deeper brake inspection
Pads, discs, and calipers checked in more depth than an interim visual check.
Full road test
To confirm everything drives as it should, not just a workshop check.
What's not included (so you don't overpay)
We'd rather you knew exactly what you're getting. A full service does not include:
- Spark plug replacement
- Brake fluid replacement (checked, not replaced)
- Timing belt / cambelt inspection or replacement
- Drive belt (auxiliary belt) replacement
- Full fluid flush
These are major-service items, recommended every 2 years or 24,000 miles. If your car isn't due its major service yet, a full service is the right call — and we'll tell you honestly if we spot something that can't wait.
The Full Service Checklist — What Happens During Your Visit

6. Full brake inspection (pads, discs, calipers, handbrake)

8. Battery health test
9. Tyre condition and pressure check (including spare)

What does a full service cost?
A full car service at GForce Tyres typically costs £170–£300, depending on your vehicle. Engine size, oil specification, and filter type are what move the price within that range — we confirm the exact figure for your reg before you book.
Small/medium petrol cars
Typically at the lower end of the range — smaller engines, standard oil grades.
Diesel & larger engines
Often mid-range — larger sumps and diesel-spec oils cost more per litre.
Hybrid, prestige & performance
Usually at the top of the range — specialist filters and higher-spec fluids.

Signs your car's overdue its annual service
Cars rarely fail without warning. If you've noticed any of these, book in sooner rather than later.
- The service/spanner light is on, on the dash
- Your last MOT carried the same advisory two years running
- The engine feels less responsive or fuel economy has quietly dropped
- Oil looks dark and gritty on the dipstick, or it's been over 12 months since last checked
- Cold starts feel rougher than they used to
- You genuinely can't remember when it was last done — that's usually a sign it's overdue

What Happens If You Skip Your Full Service
Skipping your annual service doesn't usually cause an immediate breakdown — that's exactly why it's easy to put off. But small issues compound quietly.
- A £40 fix can become a £400 repair — a dirty air filter drags on fuel economy, and ageing brake fluid absorbs moisture and loses stopping power.
- Resale value takes a hit — buyers and dealers look for a consistent, stamped service history.
- Warranty cover can be put at risk — some manufacturer warranties require servicing to schedule.
What You Get, Plus Any Extras
Every full service comes with full documentation — and if your car needs something extra, we'll always ask first.
Documentation & service light reset
You'll get a full written checklist of what was checked, topped up, or replaced, plus any parts used. We update your digital service record (or stamp your book), and reset your car's service interval indicator so the dashboard reminder is accurate — not left counting down from your last oil top-up.
Optional extras
Common add-ons alongside a full service, only if your car actually needs them:
- Brake fluid replacement (recommended every 2 years, regardless of service tier)
- Additional filter changes for high-pollution or rural driving
- Wheel alignment check if you've noticed uneven tyre wear
We'll only recommend what your car actually needs — never a blanket upsell.
