Expert Car Servicing in Our Gainsborough Branch

Every vehicle service should be tailored to your vehicle’s specific needs. While the process may be similar in some instances, it is often vastly different, and that is before considering the quality of the parts and lubricants used. Choosing our Gainsborough service centre means you benefit from our high standards and trusted expertise every step of the way.

Why Choose Our Gainsborough Branch for Your Car Service?

  • For each service, we use engine oils that are approved by your vehicle manufacturer. Many garages use oils that just meet the minimum requirement.

  • We use parts and filters that that match the quality of those originally equipped (OE) to the vehicle. Many garages use parts that only meet the minimum required standard.

  • When you get your vehicle serviced with us, it comes with a 12-month engine guarantee*, offering long-term protection until your next service. Most garages don’t offer this kind of assurance.

  • We’re proud members of the Castrol Service Network and are also approved by Trust-My-Garage, confirming our commitment to exceptional standards.

How Often Should You Service Your Vehicle?

Most vehicles require a full service at least once a year. High-mileage vehicles may also benefit from an interim service every 6 months. Sticking to a consistent servicing routine is crucial for safety, performance and warranty protection, particularly if you want to maintain eligibility for your Castrol engine warranty.

Our Bronze Interim Service is a 21-point check tailored for high-mileage vehicles that need more frequent upkeep between annual services. At Dexel, we have a fleet of over 30 vans, each averaging 20,000 miles per year, so we know how valuable interim servicing can be. All our vans receive one every 6 months in between their full annual services.

The bronze-level service also includes engine oil renewal, oil filter renewal and inspections of essential systems and components.

When it comes to the main annual service, we offer two options:

Our Silver Full Service is a 40-point check that includes engine oil and oil filter renewal, air filter renewal, top-ups for essential fluids and more extensive inspections than the bronze Interim Service.

Our Gold Major Service is a comprehensive 54-point annual service and includes engine oil renewal, oil filter renewal, air filter renewal, pollen/cabin filter renewal, essential fluid top-ups, air-con system pressure/functionality check, fuel filter renewal check, spark plug renewal check and our most thorough set of system and component inspections.

Keep in mind that beyond replacing vital engine parts and fluids to ensure your car runs smoothly, regular servicing also plays a key role in preventative maintenance, helping to catch issues early before they turn into major repairs
