Manufacturer-Recommended Servicing in Horbury, Wakefield

Keeping up with manufacturer-recommended servicing is one of the best ways to protect your vehicle’s reliability, performance, and long-term value. At Horbury MOT, we carry out manufacturer-recommended servicing using a clear, honest, and practical approach.

We provide an independent alternative to main dealers, without unnecessary upselling or inflated costs.

What Is Manufacturer-Recommended Servicing?

Manufacturer-recommended servicing follows the service schedule set by the vehicle manufacturer. This schedule is based on:

  • Mileage
  • Time intervals
  • Vehicle type and engine

The aim is to maintain safety, reliability, and performance throughout the life of the vehicle.

Will Manufacturer Servicing Affect My Warranty?

Vehicles can be serviced outside of a main dealership without automatically voiding the manufacturer’s warranty, provided servicing is carried out correctly and in line with manufacturer guidelines. 

At Horbury MOT:

  • We follow manufacturer service schedules where applicable
  • We use suitable parts and consumables
  • We provide clear service records

If you’re unsure what your vehicle requires, we’re happy to advise.

What’s Included in Manufacturer-Recommended Servicing

Manufacturer servicing varies depending on the vehicle, but typically includes checks such as:

  • Engine oil and filter replacement
  • Air and cabin filter checks or replacement
  • Brake inspection
  • Suspension and steering checks
  • Fluid level checks and top-ups
  • Exhaust and emissions inspection
  • Battery and charging system check
  • General safety inspection


All work is based on
manufacturer intervals, not guesswork.

Manufacturer Servicing for Cars and Vans

We carry out manufacturer-recommended servicing for:

  • Cars of all ages
  • Light commercial vehicles and vans
  • Personal and work vehicles

Whether your vehicle is newer, older, or high-mileage, we’ll advise honestly on what servicing is appropriate.

Manufacturer Servicing vs Main Dealer Servicing

Main dealer servicing isn’t the only option.

Many drivers choose an independent garage because:

  • Pricing is often more competitive

At Horbury MOT, our goal is to provide manufacturer-aligned servicing without dealership pressure.

Manufacturer Servicing FAQs

Can I service my car outside the main dealer?

Yes. Vehicles can be serviced at an independent garage as long as servicing follows manufacturer guidelines and appropriate parts are used.

Yes. We service both newer vehicles and older cars and vans, tailoring advice based on mileage and condition.

Not necessarily. Manufacturer-recommended servicing is based on scheduled requirements, not dealership pricing.

This depends on the vehicle. Most manufacturers specify service intervals based on mileage or time, typically annually or every 10,000–12,000 miles.

No. An MOT checks legal roadworthiness, while manufacturer servicing focuses on maintenance and reliability.

Where applicable, service indicators can be reset as part of the servicing process.
