Servicing
At Warren Garage we offer three different levels of service. We have tried to be clear and transparent about what we check and what we replace in each service.
If your car is still under the original manufacturers warranty, you will need our 'manufacturer service' in order to maintain your warranty.

A word about oil. We always check the exact grade of oil required by your make and model of vehicle and will ensure the correct amount of the exact oil specified is used in all our services.
When comparing prices, It's worth checking which parts will be replaced within the fixed price and which will be ‘checked and reported’ on as these will result in an additional cost should the part require replacing. We also include a complimentary car wash with our silver and gold service options.
