Car Service in Wakefield
How to Book Your Car for a Service in Wakefield
Three simple steps are all it takes to service your car in Wakefield:
- Quick quote and booking: a free quote needs only your reg, postcode and email, and you then choose a service date to suit you.
- Collection and service: one of our drivers collects your car from your door and brings it to one of our vetted local garages.
- Back the same day: your fully serviced car is returned to you the same day, with the service book stamped.
If the garage finds any extra work, a Servicing Stop advisor contacts you with the details and cost first, and no extra work goes ahead without your approval.

Keeping Drivers in Wakefield on the Road
The Wakefield district is made up of the city of Wakefield and the Five Towns of Castleford, Featherstone, Knottingley, Normanton and Pontefract, along with towns such as Ossett, Horbury and Hemsworth. The M1 and M62 meet at the Lofthouse Interchange just north of Wakefield, and the A1(M) runs through the east of the district, so many local drivers cover plenty of motorway miles. Regular oil changes and tyre checks are important for high-mileage cars, and busy motorway junctions and town traffic add stop-start wear to brakes and clutches. Servicing Stop can collect your car from your home or workplace in Wakefield and return it the same day.
Our Full and Electric Services Explained
Servicing Stop offers two service options for drivers in Wakefield. The 77-point Full Service is designed for petrol and diesel cars and includes an engine oil and filter change (specialist oils may cost extra), fluid top-ups, and checks of the brakes, brake fluid, steering, suspension, tyres and pollen filter. Spark plugs are replaced at extra cost where applicable, and every Full Service finishes with a road test, a service light reset where applicable and a stamp in your service book.
For electric cars, the 51-point Electric Service covers the same key safety checks on brakes, steering, suspension and tyres, without the oil change that an electric car does not need. Both services are recommended once a year, and the exact work can vary by make and model. Full details of every check are in our service schedule below.
