/ Car & Van Servicing
Most modern vehicles have specific service items to be attended to at particular mileage or time intervals.
This information can be accessed from our extensive computer programs published by the vehicle manufacturers themselves. However certain customers prefer to have work done based on the old fashion way of small, intermediate and full service formats. Nothing wrong with being old fashioned.
As part of any chosen type of service undertaken defects or potential problems are recorded and any additional work or parts to be repaired are discussed with the customer for the time and cost implications before the work is carried out. This avoids any nasty shocks when your vehicle is collected.
Informing The Customer
As part of the Rentamech service, defects or potential problems are recorded. If during servicing additional work or parts are required, every effort is made to advise the customer of the time and cost implications, before the work is carried out. The latest computer diagnostics equipment allows us to pinpoint problems.
MOT Work
Although Rentamech is not a MOT Testing Station we are fully aware of the current standards required so for your vehicle to stand the best possible chance to pass an MOT why not have it checked over by us first or if a service is also required no extra charge is made for presenting your vehicle to a local MOT centre – you will pay only for the MOT certificate.
