For Hillingdon households with driveways full of family cars, our Hayes garage offers interim, full and manufacturer-schedule servicing with a plain explanation of what each one involves.
Large parts of Hillingdon are 1930s houses with driveways, and it is common to find two cars outside, one used daily and one that comes out at weekends. The weekend car is easy to forget about, but it still needs servicing by the calendar, because oil breaks down and brake fluid absorbs moisture whether or not the odometer moves.
We are MTS Garage Services, a family-run independent garage on Chesterfield Way in Hayes. We look after cars and vans of all makes and models. Before any repair begins we explain what is wrong or what is due, recommend the work and give you a clear estimate, so you are never surprised when you pick the car up.
If you do high mileage on the Uxbridge Road and beyond, an interim service every six months or so keeps oil fresh between annual jobs. If you want everything looked at once a year, a full service is the usual choice. If your car is newer and you like to follow the maker's list precisely, manufacturer-schedule servicing is the way to go. The Interim Car Service Hayes option is cheaper in effort and time, but it is not a substitute for the full job when that is due, so we will say plainly which one your car needs.
Oil and the oil filter are renewed first. Then comes a methodical check of brake pads, discs and fluid, the battery, coolant, lights, wipers, tyre condition, steering, suspension and exhaust. On larger services, air filters, pollen filters and spark plugs are replaced where the schedule calls for them. We do not push parts that are not needed. You get an honest list of what is fine, what is wearing and what needs attention soon, so you can plan rather than react to a breakdown.
Manufacturers recommend service intervals, and a competent independent garage can service a car to the manufacturer schedule. Using an independent garage does not by itself invalidate a manufacturer warranty when the work is done to that schedule with suitable parts, but check your own warranty terms because they vary. Motorist choice, meaning the rules that opened servicing up to independents, is what the garage was founded on. Manufacturer Schedule Servicing Hayes customers book with us is carried out and recorded so the history stays complete.
Hillingdon is a residential suburb around the Uxbridge Road, and Hayes is one of its neighbours, so the trip to Chesterfield Way is a familiar local one. We also see enquiries from Uxbridge, Yiewsley, Cowley and Yeading. Because many homes here have driveways, people often service the car on a quiet day and walk or arrange a lift home. Call us, describe what you drive and any concerns, and we will explain what to book. We will always contact you with findings and an estimate before extra work.
We also help drivers with car servicing from nearby Uxbridge, Yiewsley, Cowley, Yeading, and the garage in Hayes is the base for all of it.
Choose the job that matches your vehicle:
Pictures are for illustration purposes only.
“Best garage around the only one I use now for both my cars Friendly staff and management nothing is too small. Would highly recomend Quality work carried out”
“My request and my car looked at and reported to me, as to my next move, honest response from the staff.”
“Have received amazing customer service, always up to date with my repair and their diagnostic was on point. Very good experience overall would definitely recommend.”
Not necessarily. A competent independent garage can service your car to the manufacturer schedule, and we record the work carried out. Check your own warranty and finance terms if the car is under either, as they differ between makers and policies.
Bring the service book if you have one, any locking wheel nut key, and a note of anything you have noticed, such as noises, warning lights or vibrations. The more detail you give, the easier it is for us to check the right areas.
Sometimes. If the car had a full service recently and has covered few miles since, an oil and filter change can bridge the gap. It does not include the wider checks, so it is not a replacement for a service when one is due.
