Book a car service at cinch

We don’t currently offer MOTs but aim to do so from early 2025.

- Replace the cabin filter with a new one

- Drain the brake fluid and re-fill with new brake fluid, correctly matched to your car's required grade

- Top-up the clutch fluid if required

- Top-up the power steering fluid if required

- Perform a full diagnostic scan of the car and report any faults in any system

Most car manufacturers recommend having a full service each year or every 12,000 miles – whichever comes first.

For a major service, double the time/mileage. So it's every two years or 24,000 miles. The major service replaces that year's full service.

Your vehicle’s handbook or onboard computer will tell you how often your car should be serviced.

If you don’t have the handbook or don’t know when your car was last serviced, call us on 0333 015 4101, select your closest cinch Store (Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester or Northampton) and we'll advise you.

We have highly experienced mechanics and technicians who really know their cars. We have service ramps at all our stores, with all the equipment needed to service all types of diesel, petrol and hybrid cars. Rest assured, you’re in good hands.

No, we offer servicing to all drivers whether they’ve bought a car from us or not.

Additional labour costs £80 per hour inc. VAT, and is pro-rated for any partial hours. For example, if the work takes 90 minutes to complete, the cost would be £120 inc. VAT.

Cost of parts will vary depending on the make and model of car, but we’ll be fully transparent with you on all costs before any work starts – and you’re under no obligation to get the work done with us.

All our cars are thoroughly checked by highly trained technicians before going on sale.

During the preparation of a car, we’ll make any necessary repairs so it’s safe to drive, reliable and meets UK MOT standards. This means your car shouldn't need a service straight away, but there may be exceptions depending on manufacturer guidance, including warranty stipulations.

We do our best to source as much service history as possible for each car we sell, but some cars don't have full service history. You can see the service history we have for each car on the car’s listing page on our website and app.
