Servicing

Maximise the lifespan and value of your car with regular car servicing at GP Motors. Our expert technicians are trained to service any make and model of car using the latest techniques and diagnostic equipment, and are committed to providing a friendly, straightforward and honest service.

We provide three levels of servicing to meet all requirements. No matter what you need – we can help.

Our threee levels of servicing, oil and filter change, interim service and a full or major service, are available. The single most important thing that a person can do to prolong the life and performance of their car is to have an oil and filter change once a year or every six to twelve thousand miles.

We recommend having a Major Service once a year to fully ensure that your vehicle is running to its optimum efficiency. This will help stop unexpected breakdowns and allow you to better plan for your vehicle maintenance through the year.

All parts used by GP Motors are manufactured to Original Equipment (OE) quality.
