Servicing - Cars & Light Vans – Norwich & Norfolk

Car servicing is the routine inspection, maintenance, and replacement of key components to keep your vehicle running safely, reliably, and efficiently. It’s about checking for wear, topping up or replacing essential fluids, and spotting problems early — before they turn into breakdowns or costly repairs.

Even if a car feels fine to drive, parts wear gradually over time. Regular servicing helps catch issues that aren’t always obvious from the driver’s seat, such as worn brakes, low-quality engine oil, or developing suspension and steering problems.

At BURE AUTO CENTRE, we carry out car servicing for drivers across Norwich and Norfolk, taking the time to explain what’s included, what we’ve checked, and what (if anything) may need attention — without pressure or jargon.

Service matched to how you drive

We recommend the right level of servicing based on your mileage, vehicle age, and how the car or van is used — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Thorough checks, not rushed work

Each service follows a structured checklist covering safety, mechanical condition, and reliability, rather than just an oil change and a quick look around.

Clear records and explanations

We talk you through what’s been checked, what’s in good order, and anything to keep an eye on for the future.

When should you consider car servicing?

You should consider servicing your car or light van if:

It’s been a long time since the last service
You’ve reached a mileage or time interval recommended by the manufacturer
You mainly drive short journeys or stop-start traffic
You do high annual mileage
The car feels different to drive, even slightly
You’ve had MOT advisories
You want to maintain reliability and avoid unexpected repairs

Servicing is preventative — it’s about staying ahead of problems rather than reacting to them.

Benefits of regular car servicing

Keeping up with regular servicing helps to:

Maintain safety for you and your passengers
Reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns
Protect key mechanical components
Catch wear and faults early, before they become expensive
Support MOT pass rates
Keep the vehicle running smoothly and efficiently

Regular servicing is one of the simplest ways to extend the working life of a car or light van.

Our Service Plans

Understanding interim, full, and major services

Not every vehicle needs the same level of servicing every time.

Below is a clear explanation of the three most common service types and when each one is appropriate.

Interim Service from

299

An interim service is a lighter service designed for vehicles that cover higher mileage or are driven frequently. It typically focuses on:

Engine oil and oil filter replacement

Key safety checks such as brakes, tyres, lights, and fluid levels

A general condition inspection

Often recommended every 6 months or 6–8,000 miles, particularly for high-mileage drivers or vehicles that do a lot of short journeys.

Full Service from

350

A full service is the most common annual service and suits the majority of drivers. It includes:

Engine oil and filter replacement

More extensive checks across braking, suspension, steering, cooling, and exhaust systems

Inspection of belts, hoses, and key wear components

A broader safety and reliability assessment

Usually carried out once a year or around 12,000 miles. This forms a solid maintenance baseline for most cars and light vans.

Major Service from

499

A major service is the most comprehensive level of servicing and is usually carried out at longer intervals. In addition to full service checks, it may include:

Replacement of additional service items

More in-depth inspections of mechanical and safety-critical components

A deeper overall condition assessment

Typically recommended at higher mileage intervals or on older vehicles, especially if you plan to keep the vehicle long-term.

If you’re unsure which service your vehicle needs, we’re happy to advise. We’ll look at your mileage, service history, and usage, and explain the options clearly before any work is carried out.
