When is my service due?

Each car has a specific service schedule in its service book. As a rule, most manufacturers will have a service schedule that is split into different service levels. For example:

Full service – Every 12 months (c 10,000 miles).

Major service – Every 24 months (c 20,000 miles).

Most modern cars have a built-in service alert system that alerts you when your next service is due. It is common for dashboard notifications to appear in such a situation.

    Such a busy day on Monday 19th of Feb at DCM Blandford but I was seen and dealt with professionally and politely by the manager and his staff. The customers were happy to wait in a well organised queue until we were all seen and served as the waiting time was explained and attention given to each and every one of us.

    I come to these guys whenever I need to have my tyres checked or changed. They are always very busy but still manage to be cheerful. Sometimes I have had to wait so I always make sure that I have something to read/do. They work so hard that at times they forget to eat or drink.

    It can be daunting as a woman on her own going to sort out new tyres, I need not to have worried.The guys were so friendly and helpful, and fully explained what was needed at a fair price, I was soon safely on my way and will certainly use them again. It was the first time I had been there as I am new to the area.

    Always excellent service, very helpful whoever I see there. Been a few times now, and the last time they were brilliant when I needed 2 new tyres.
    Will always go here as I don't feel they take the mick (not to my face anyway 🤣😉). I will see them soon for a tyre check.

    I love DCM tyres. Prices aren't that bad. The guys here previously have gone out of their way to find me a tyre that would be delivered before my holiday when I had a screw go through my tyre right before I was due to leave! Exceptional service, I go here for my tyres every time.

    Got to the end of a long day and then informed by a neighbour my tyre had been going flat in the carpark all day. I rang DCM and they said they could see me immediately.

They changed both tyres there and then, communicating with me the whole time so I felt a lot less stressed and... Read More
