Oil & Filter Change: From £79.99
The simplest option, best suited to cars that have recently had a service and just need routine maintenance in between.
- Engine oil and filter change: draining old oil, fitting a new filter and refilling with fresh oil to keep contaminants out of the engine.
- Fluid checks and refills: coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and windscreen washer fluid.
- Visual inspection: a general check for leaks and worn components such as belts and hoses.
Interim Service: From £194.99
Recommended every six months (6,000 miles) for cars doing higher mileage, or as a checkpoint between full services.
- Engine oil and filter: replaced as standard.
- Fluid checks and refills: screen wash, coolant and power steering fluid, plus a brake fluid level check.
- Safety system inspections: brakes (pads, discs and overall condition), lights (headlights, brake lights and indicators), tyres (pressure, tread depth and condition) and a battery test.
- Other visual checks: exhaust system, steering and suspension, wiper blades and seatbelts.
Full Service: From £254.99
A comprehensive service covering the engine, brakes, steering, suspension, wheels and a full round of fluid and filter checks.
- Engine: oil and filter change, air filter replacement, radiator and coolant hose inspection with antifreeze strength advice, a check of engine and gearbox mounts for oil leaks, drive belt condition and tension, fuel system checks and advice on timing belt replacement intervals.
- Brakes: visual check of pads, discs, pipes and hoses, brake fluid condition check and refill, handbrake operation check.
- Steering and suspension: shock absorbers, wheel bearings, power steering fluid level and road springs.

- Other checks: external lights, horn and wipers, seatbelts and airbags, exhaust system, battery and charging system, door hinge and lock lubrication, and a full diagnostic check.
Major Service: From £304.99
Our most thorough service recommended every 24 months (or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first). It includes everything in a full service, plus items such as spark plugs on petrol engines and a cabin filter replacement as standard.

- Other checks: tyre condition, pressure and tread depth, exhaust system condition, electrical system (battery, alternator and starter motor), seatbelt operation, door hinge and lock lubrication, and a road test.
Full Service + MOT Bundle: From £264.99
Combines a full service with your MOT test in a single visit, saving you a return trip.
In short: whichever service level is right for your car, every job includes a genuine health check of the systems that matter most for safety and reliability, not just a quick oil change.
Why Does My Car Need Regular Servicing?
Regular servicing catches small issues before they become expensive repairs. A worn brake pad picked up during a service costs far less to replace than the damage caused by driving on a pad that's worn through to metal. The same applies to timing belts, coolant hoses and suspension components.
Servicing also protects your car's resale value and, for newer vehicles, keeps you within manufacturer warranty requirements. Missing scheduled services can affect your warranty cover, so staying on top of the schedule matters even if your car feels like it's running fine.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a car service cost in Nottingham?
Our servicing starts from £79.99 for an oil and filter change, rising to £304.99 for a major service. The right price for your car depends on its age, mileage and service history, so get in touch and we'll advise the most suitable option.
How often should I service my car?
Most manufacturers recommend an interim service every six months or 6,000 miles, and a full or major service annually or every 12,000 to 24,000 miles. Check your vehicle's handbook for the exact schedule, or ask us to confirm it for your specific make and model.
What's the difference between an interim and a full service?
An interim service covers the essentials: oil, filter and key safety checks, and suits cars between full services or those doing higher mileage. A full service covers the engine, brakes, steering, suspension and wheels in far more depth, and is the more thorough option for annual servicing.
Can I get my MOT and service done together?
Yes. Our Full Service + MOT Bundle combines both in a single appointment, from £264.99.
Is your servicing work guaranteed?
Yes. All work carried out by Oakdene Automatic Transmissions is backed by a 12 month warranty, on servicing as well as our transmission and gearbox repairs.
