This routine maintenance involves the changing of fluids, spark plugs and filters, the wear and tear parts of the car.

These are the small parts of the car that ensure it runs smoothly every day of the week.

This service will also be available at a fixed monthly cost and covers parts such as:

• Air filter
• Transmission fluid
• Oil filter

• Coolants
• Spark plugs
