Since 2002, we've been helping local motorists keep their vehicles running smoothly with honest advice, quality workmanship and a commitment to doing things properly.
Why Regular Servicing Matters
A service is much more than an oil change.
Modern vehicles contain complex systems that rely on regular maintenance to perform correctly. Over time, oils deteriorate, filters become restricted and components naturally wear. Identifying issues early can often prevent more expensive repairs later.
Routine servicing helps improve reliability, maintain fuel economy, reduce emissions and extend the life of your vehicle.
Most importantly, it provides peace of mind that your car is being maintained correctly and remains safe for you and your family.
What's Included in a Service?
Every vehicle is different, so we tailor our servicing to suit your car, its age, mileage and manufacturer recommendations.
During a service, our technicians carry out a thorough inspection of the vehicle, checking key safety and maintenance items such as brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, battery condition and fluid levels.
We also replace service items where required and inspect the overall condition of the vehicle, highlighting any areas that may require attention in the future.
Our aim is not only to maintain your car today but also help you avoid unexpected problems tomorrow.
Manufacturer & Warranty Servicing
Many motorists are unaware that you do not need to return to the main dealer to maintain your manufacturer warranty.
Thanks to Block Exemption regulations, independent garages such as Kettering Motorist Centre can service vehicles in accordance with manufacturer requirements without affecting warranty coverage.
By following the correct service schedules and using quality parts, we can maintain your vehicle to the standards it was designed for while offering a more personal and often more cost-effective experience than a main dealer.
