What Happens During a Car Service?

During a car service at DCM Autocentres, our technicians carry out a detailed inspection of your vehicle to ensure everything is working as it should. The level of checks performed depends on whether you choose an interim or full service, but every service is completed with the same attention to detail.

We start by replacing essential items such as engine oil and filters, followed by checking critical safety components including brakes, tyres, steering, and suspension. Fluid levels are inspected and topped up where required, and we look for signs of wear, leaks, or potential issues.

Once the service is complete, we reset your service indicator and update your service record. If we identify any concerns, we’ll explain them clearly and provide options, allowing you to make an informed decision without pressure.

For newer vehicles, servicing in line with manufacturer guidelines helps preserve warranties, while older cars benefit from ongoing checks that catch problems early. At DCM Autocentres, we tailor servicing to suit your car’s age, mileage, and usage.

Our goal is to help drivers in Sturminster Newton keep their vehicles dependable, efficient, and safe for the long term.

How often should my car be serviced?

Most vehicles benefit from a service every 12 months or 10,000 to 12,000 miles, depending on manufacturer recommendations.

I have used this company twice recently, an emergency tyre on a Beetle and an emergency (unusual) battery on a classic Golf. Both times they have been excellent. Very helpful, professional and friendly staff. Highly recommend .

We highly recommend DCM! We travel over an hour to use their services because the team is always so friendly, supportive, and professional. They clearly explain any work needed without pressuring us—always prioritising the safety of our vehicle. Their online system is fantastic, offering a clear breakdown and photos of their findings, which really helps us feel informed and confident. When we couldn’t make it during business hours to collect our car, they kindly arranged a secure lock box system so we could pick it up at our convenience. Thank you so much, DCM!
