Vehicle Servicing in Bicester

At Bulldog Motors, we recommend alternating between Basic, Standard and Major Services to keep your vehicle maintained to a high standard throughout its life. A Basic Service covers essential maintenance such as replacing the engine oil and filter, while a Standard Service includes a more comprehensive inspection of your vehicle's key components. Every third year, we recommend a Major Service, which includes additional replacement items and a more in-depth inspection to help identify wear and potential issues before they become costly repairs.Following this service schedule helps keep your vehicle safe, reliable and running efficiently, while providing regular health checks to give you a clear understanding of its overall condition.

We strongly believe engines should have an oil change at least every 10,000 miles (this can be extended to 12,000 if you mainly travel on motorways) regardless of manufacturer recommendations. In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in engine failures and believe extended service intervals play a big part in that. An oil change costs much less than a replacement engine!
Example:
Year 1 → Standard Service
Year 2 → Basic Service
Year 3 → Major Service
Year 4 → Basic Service
Year 5 → Standard Service
and so on...

We also offer a free collection and delivery service for local customers, making it even easier to keep your vehicle maintained without disrupting your day.
