Servicing

We’ve been servicing cars for decades.  In fact, that was our bread and butter when Mr Donald formed the company before any world-renowned brands were a part of the company.  This makes us ideally positioned to offer both all the benefits that come with choosing a family-run local garage, as well as the perks and reassurances of choosing a manufacturer service.   As authorised dealerships for Volvo, Mazda, Kia and MG, you can expect the exceptional customer service that you would expect from some of the world's leading car brands.  You'll benefit from this attitude regardless of the department are you dealing with or the make or your car - because we can service and MOT any make or model car.  Read more in the FAQs section, or if you're ready to get in touch - click 'Make a booking'.

FAQs

Why service your car?
We each rely heavily on our own transport to commute, do the shopping and socialise. So, it’s important to optimise this asset to keep it safe, economical and dependable.  With regular servicing you will help to prevent malfunctions by optimising the engine which in turn helps your pocket by keeping the car fuel efficient and off the hard shoulder!  With every service we also offer a free-of-charge comprehensive vehicle health check which highlights any failing components early on and gives you the opportunity to get them rectified before they cause any further problems.

How often should i get my car serviced?
Guidelines vary with each make and model and you can get your local Donalds team to advise on this, however most modern cars should be serviced once a year or every 12,500 miles.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK

(Ipswich branch only)

Just something as simple as hitting a pothole or catching the curb can knock your wheel alignment (tracking) out of place.  This can accelerate or create irregular wear on your tyres, consequently increasing your fuel consumption or reducing the tyre’s legal life duration.

Donalds Ipswich can conduct a simple tracking check to ensure your tyres are hitting the surface evenly and can correct any alignment that is necessary.  Click the enquire button to find out more about wheel alignment at Donalds Ipswich.

Service Plans

A service plan can offer you peace of mind when it comes to the servicing costs. Available on both newly purchased cars or existing ownership, you can split the cost of your annual service over flexible monthly payments.  

We’ll help you to get a monthly breakdown cost suitable to your car’s mileage, ownership length and make/model.  

Once you’ve approved and your direct debit is set up, simply wait until your next service is due then contact us to book your car in - with the added peace of mind that the costs have already been taken care of.
