When was the last time you serviced your car or van? Whether you’re a private domestic car owner, a fleet operator or anything in between, regular servicing is an essential aspect of owning a vehicle. It helps to maintain performance, efficiency and safety. In turn, this reduces the likelihood of roadside breakdowns, repairs and time off the road. While regular car servicing isn’t a legal requirement, it’s just as important as an MOT for keeping your vehicle in top condition.
Based in Shepperton, JH Autos Ltd is a Ford specialist and general mechanic trusted by motorists in Addlestone, Staines, Walton-on-Thames, Byfleet, Egham, Shepperton, Sunbury, and all the surrounding areas for vehicle servicing, including specialist Ford servicing. You can also rely on us for ECU tuning, vehicle remapping, AC regassing and more.
Why Services my Vehicle
Current industry guidelines recommend annual car servicing. While you may think skipping a service will save money, it can cost you more because small issues may go unnoticed until they’re much bigger problems. With a proactive approach to vehicle maintenance, you reduce your long-term costs.
In addition, skipping annual servicing may also invalidate your car insurance. If a vehicle part suffers a fault, and it’s something we would normally inspect, your insurance company will likely refuse to pay out if it becomes clear that you have missed one or more services.

The type of servicing JH Autos Ltd provides depends on your vehicle's mileage. Put simply, low-mileage drivers have markedly different needs than those who clock up significant distances.
Our team offers the following car servicing options:
For optimal vehicle maintenance, our Ford specialists recommend alternating between service types.
JH Autos Ltd stamps your vehicle’s service book when the work is complete. Keeping this document up to date will make it easier to sell your car or van in the future. You’re also more likely to get a higher price for it.
To minimise disruption to your daily routine, we also offer a collection-and-delivery service within a 5-mile radius of our garage, including Byfleet, Staines and Sunbury. We can pick up and drop off your vehicle from a location of your choosing, whether it's your home or workplace.
All services involve visual vehicle checks. During these inspections, we look for signs of damage to the vehicle’s body and wheels. We also undertake manual checks for deterioration on features such as the brakes and gearbox. Where needed, we top up any low fluid levels and replace parts showing excessive wear.
When performing your service, we work through a multi-point checklist, including:
We can also provide the following alongside your service:
A full service covers everything in an interim service, plus additional checks. These include spark plug inspections, as well as replacing fuel and pollen filters. A major service includes everything covered in a full service, but in much more detail and with extra replacements of consumables and wearable parts.
As a Shepperton-based Ford specialist, we also perform dedicated Ford servicing for motorists in Addlestone, Byfleet, Egham, Staines, Sunbury, Walton-on-Thames and all neighbouring areas.
