“Honestly didn't expect the collection service to be this smooth. They picked up my Mondeo from work, did the full major service, and had it back by end of day. Engine feels so much smoother now and they found a small coolant leak I had no idea about. Saved me from a bigger problem down the line.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
What's the difference between a major service and a regular service?
A major service is more comprehensive than a regular service, typically performed every 24 months or 24,000 miles. While a regular service covers basic oil and filter changes, a major service includes additional components like air filters, cabin filters, spark plugs, and more thorough inspections of brakes, suspension, and cooling systems. It's essentially a deeper health check for your vehicle.
How much does a major car service cost in Birmingham?
Major service costs vary depending on your vehicle make, model, and age, but you'll typically pay significantly less than main dealer prices. We provide transparent fixed-price quotes upfront with no hidden fees, so you'll know exactly what you're paying before any work begins. Most customers find our pricing around half what dealers charge for identical work.
How long does a major service take to complete?
Most major services are completed within the same day. We collect your vehicle in the morning from your home or workplace, perform the comprehensive service at our fully equipped facility, and return it to you by end of day. For urgent situations, we offer same-day availability to minimise any disruption to your schedule.
When should I book a major service for my car?
You should book a major service according to your manufacturer's schedule, typically every two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you've only been doing basic services, it's worth scheduling one to catch any developing issues. Booking before long journeys or seasonal changes is also sensible to ensure reliability when you need it most.
Why choose Collect Mechanic over a main dealer for servicing?
You'll receive the same quality work using premium parts but at roughly half the dealer cost, with the added convenience of free collection and delivery across Birmingham. We're a DVSA-approved facility with over 10 years' experience and 2,849 satisfied customers. Unlike dealers, we provide genuinely transparent pricing with no pressure to add unnecessary extras.
What parts and fluids do you use during a major service?
We use premium quality components including manufacturer-specification engine oil, genuine or OEM-equivalent filters, and branded parts that meet or exceed original standards. All parts come with warranties for your peace of mind. We never compromise on quality to cut costs, which is why our customers experience improved performance and reliability after servicing.
Do you collect vehicles from anywhere in Birmingham for servicing?
Yes, we offer completely free collection and delivery throughout Birmingham using our specialised transport trucks. Whether you're in Erdington, the city centre, or anywhere across the area, we'll pick up your vehicle from your home or workplace and return it the same day once the service is complete, saving you time and hassle.
Can a major service improve my car's fuel economy?
Absolutely. A comprehensive major service can improve fuel economy by up to 15% by replacing clogged air filters, using fresh engine oil that reduces friction, and ensuring all systems are running efficiently. Clean spark plugs and properly calibrated engine management also contribute to better combustion, which means you'll spend less at the pump over time.
What happens if you find additional problems during the service?
We'll contact you immediately with a detailed explanation of any issues discovered and provide transparent pricing for repairs before proceeding. There's never any pressure—you decide what work gets done. We prioritise safety-critical items and provide honest advice about what's urgent versus what can wait, helping you make informed decisions about your vehicle.
Is a major service necessary to maintain my warranty?
Yes, most manufacturer warranties require servicing at specified intervals to remain valid. A major service performed to manufacturer standards keeps your warranty intact whilst costing significantly less than dealer servicing. We provide detailed service records and documentation that satisfy warranty requirements, so you're fully protected without the premium dealer prices.
How do I book a major service with collection included?
Simply contact us for your transparent fixed-price quote based on your vehicle details. Once you're happy with the price, we'll arrange a convenient collection time from your preferred Birmingham location. Same-day availability is offered for urgent bookings. Most of our 2,849 customers came through referrals, so you're in trusted hands from the first call.
What's included in your major service inspection checklist?
Your major service includes comprehensive diagnostics, engine oil and filter replacement, air and cabin filter changes, brake measurements, suspension inspection, fluid level checks, battery testing, belt and hose inspection, tyre checks, lighting systems, and exhaust emissions testing. You'll receive a detailed service report explaining all work completed and any advisory recommendations for future attention.
