Car Servicing in Dundee

Routine and full vehicle servicing from our garage on 42 Frederick Street, Dundee. Servicing from £150. Send us your registration and we can confirm the price for your car.

Why regular servicing matters

Servicing replaces the oil, filters and fluids that wear out with use, and gives us the chance to look over the parts of your car that you can’t easily see. Keeping to a regular service schedule helps your engine last, keeps running costs predictable and means small problems are more likely to be found before they become expensive ones.

What a service at VDR Auto includes

The exact checklist depends on your vehicle and the type of service it is due, but a service typically covers:

  • Engine oil and oil filter change
  • Air, fuel and cabin filters where due
  • Fluid levels checked and topped up
  • Brakes, pads and discs inspected
  • Tyres checked for tread depth, condition and pressure
  • Steering and suspension components checked
  • Lights, wipers and battery checked
  • Exhaust and underside visual inspection

If we find anything that needs attention, we’ll explain what it is and give you a price. We won’t carry out additional work without speaking to you first.

Interim and full services

An interim service is a lighter service, usually carried out between full services on higher-mileage cars. A full service is more thorough and normally due once a year or at the mileage set by your manufacturer. If you’re not sure which your car needs, send us the registration and mileage and we’ll advise you.

Servicing for a wide range of makes and models

We service petrol and diesel cars from a wide range of manufacturers. We use oil and parts to the correct specification for your vehicle.

Car Servicing questions

How much does a car service cost in Dundee?

Car servicing at VDR Auto starts from £150. The final price depends on your vehicle, service requirements and parts required. Send us your registration and we can give you a more accurate price.

What is included in a car service?

A service normally includes an oil and filter change, fluid top-ups and checks of the brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, battery and exhaust. Other filters and items are replaced when your vehicle's schedule says they are due.

How often should I service my car?

Most cars need a service every 12 months or at the mileage set by the manufacturer, whichever comes first. Cars covering high mileage may also benefit from an interim service in between. Your handbook or service schedule gives the exact interval.

What is the difference between an interim and full service?

An interim service is a lighter check with an oil and filter change, usually around every six months or 6,000 miles for higher-mileage drivers. A full service is more thorough, includes more filters and checks, and is usually due every 12 months.

Can you service any make of car?

We service a wide range of makes and models. Send us your registration and we'll confirm we can service your vehicle and what it will cost.

How long does a car service take?

Most services are completed within the day. The time depends on the vehicle and the type of service. If you need your car back by a certain time, let us know when you book.

Can I get a service quote using my registration?

Yes. Send us your registration, the approximate mileage and whether you want an interim or full service, and we can give you a price for your specific vehicle.

Will servicing help identify other problems with my car?

Often, yes. During a service we look over the brakes, tyres, suspension and other key parts. If we find anything that needs attention, we'll tell you and give you a price before any extra work is done.
