Car Servicing – Full & Interim Car Services
Ensuring that you have a full service history isn’t just something that helps you sell a car, it ensures you get the best driving experience and that your car will be performing at its maximum, while being safe and roadworthy.
​
It makes sense to have a full service every year with a professional garage. It can help you maintain any warranties on the road, but most importantly it keeps your car road safe and at the performance levels you expect. You will have a healthier car that will give you less problems in the long-run and the chance to identify any possible upcoming issues.
​
At JLM Auto Services, we offer the full annual car service and also an interim car service. The interim car service is recommended every six months and coupled with the full service, is really the gold standard of maintenance that you can provide your vehicle.
​
