Cedar Garage operates a fixed price for servicing your vehicle dependent on the make, model and engine size and we will always be pleased to quote for you. The General Service is very comprehensive covering the requirements of a major service for all manufacturers and we advise customers to have this carried out every 10,000 miles or annually. Many new cars now have a high service interval of 20,000 miles which could easily mean around two years between services. We strongly recommend at least an oil and filter change at 10,000 miles as we have heard of long term engine damage being caused by not having regular oil changes. The cost of the service includes oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs (if required) and VAT but does not include fuel or pollen filters which may or may not be required.

Examples of our General Service charges are: -

Ford Fiesta 1.25/1.4 Zetec (1996 – 2002)
Nissan Micra 1.0-1.3 (1992 -2003) Renault Clio 1.2-1.4 (1998-2005)  

£115.00 inc. VAT

Citroen Xsara/Picasso 1.6-2.0 (1998 on)
Seat Ibiza/Leon 1.2/1.4 (2000 on),
Volkswagen Polo 1.4/1.6 (1992-2000)  
 

£120.00 inc. VAT

Ford Mondeo 1.6/2.0 Zetec (vehicles up to 2000),
Peugeot 206 & 306 1.6,
Vauxhall Astra 1.4/1.6 1998 on, VW Polo, Golf 1.4/1.6
        

£120.00 inc. VAT

We can also carry out an intermediate service, which is basically an oil change service and general check over including the brakes but without taking the wheels off. The price of this is £69.50 (although it may be £88.00 or more for larger vehicles) includes the oil and filter and also VAT. Should we find something that needs doing whilst carrying out a service, like changing the brake pads or replacing a tyre, then we will phone with the cost and obtain your agreement to proceed if we do not already have this.

MOTs - our current charge for these is £45.00 (VOSA recommended price £54.00) and If a partial retest is required within 10 working days of the MOT then the retest fee is £20.00. Our hourly labour rate is £48.00 which is much cheaper than Main Dealers who are generally in the £80.00 to £100.00 range or even more.

With all repairs we will endeavour to give customers an estimate of costs at the outset but this is not always possible. In these circumstances we will keep customers informed as the job progresses with an idea of the final cost as soon as possible.
