Engine oil doesn't just get older, it actively degrades. Over time, it becomes contaminated with soot and combustion by-products, losing its ability to protect your engine against friction and heat. This process accelerates significantly if you do frequent short journeys or sit in stop-start traffic.
The "Old Way" of maintaining your car involves booking a day off work, arranging lifts, or sitting in a cold waiting room just for an oil change.
Maxamy Mobile Autocare offers the "Smart Way." We bring the workshop to you. We arrive at your chosen location to carry out a comprehensive interim service while you relax at home or continue working. It is the smartest way to protect your vehicle’s reliability without disrupting your day.
An interim service is recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles. It is designed to bridge the gap between annual full services. You should consider booking this service if:
High-Mileage Driving: You cover high mileage quickly and need fresh oil to protect the engine between your annual major services.
Frequent Short Journeys: Your engine rarely reaches full operating temperature, which causes oil to degrade and sludge to build up much faster than on motorway runs.
Stop-Start Commuting: Heavy traffic places significant strain on your cooling system, clutch, and braking components, requiring more frequent checks.
Safety Concerns: You want a professional mechanic to check your tyres, lights, and fluid levels before the winter season or a long road trip.
Mid-Year Maintenance: It has been 6 months since your last full service, and you want to maintain a flawless service history to protect your vehicle's resale value.
Maxamy Mobile Autocare performs a structured 50-point inspection focused on safety, condition, and early fault detection.
The core of the interim service is the oil change. We drain the old, contaminated oil and replace the oil filter to ensure contaminants are trapped effectively. Crucially, we refill the engine using the correct manufacturer-approved oil grade specific to your vehicle. This is vital for modern engines to maintain fuel efficiency, protect the turbocharger (if fitted), and reduce internal wear. We also check the timing belt replacement interval to advise if a major change is due soon.

We inspect the condition and levels of your brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windscreen washer fluid, topping them up where applicable. We also rigorously check the cooling system, testing the antifreeze protection level and inspecting the radiator and hoses for visible leaks to prevent overheating risks.

We check all wheel bearings for excessive play or noise. The service includes a check of the operation and condition of disc brakes and a visual inspection of the suspension joints, mountings, and gaiters. Catching a worn pad or a split CV gaiter now can save you a much larger repair bill later.
Get an Instant PriceWe ensure your vehicle is road-legal and safe for visibility. This involves a comprehensive check of all interior and exterior lights, checking for damage to bodywork and trims, and ensuring the windscreen wipers and washers are operating effectively. We also check the operation of the ABS and airbag warning lights to ensure your safety systems are active.
Get an Instant PriceOnce the physical work is done, we don't just drive away. We re-check the engine oil level to ensure accuracy. We perform a road test to check the vehicle's handling and listen for any unusual noises. Finally, we reset your service interval indicator and provide a clear report on our findings, so you know exactly what condition your car is in.
