Why it matters
What Happens If You Skip a Service?
Missing a service does not save money. It delays cost and usually makes it bigger. Oil breaks down over time and mileage. Filters get blocked. Worn components that would have been caught early become expensive failures later.
The other thing worth knowing is what happens to your car's value. A full service history is one of the first things a buyer or dealer checks. A stamped service book shows the car has been looked after. Gaps in the history raise questions and knock money off the price.
Strand Motor Company follows your manufacturer's recommended intervals. Manufacturer-approved parts are used where applicable. A stamped service record is provided after every service.

- Your fuel economy has dropped noticeably
- The engine sounds rougher than usual
