Way back when…

Anybody that has recently bought a car from us would have visited and seen the site as it stands today…but it's not been this way forever...

Our Service Centre site manager was doing some digging around and found the images of Big from back in 2009 and here they are:

For those of you who have never actually visited our site here’s a then and now shot for you:

As you can see a lot has changed in the last 5 years. With the opening of Canterbury Prestige in March 2013 and the opening of Canterbury Motoring World in January 2013 the business has been through some miraculous changes. 

Now with a dedicated 24 hours 7-day-a-week Service Centre too, it's amazing to see the transformation. 

And, that's it! We'd just though we'd share our old site images with you. What do you think of them? Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below, tweet us @BigMotoring or post on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/BigMotoringWorld

How do I know when my car needs to be serviced?

Have you just bought yourself a BMW or Mercedes? Nice cars aren’t they?

If you’re new to these cars you probably won’t know if your car needs a service or when its next service is due. Well, you’re in luck, this blog will explain when you should service your car.

The average miles covered between each service should roughly be between 12,000 to 16,000 miles. However, depending on your driving style and how may miles you cover per journey, your cars on-board computer will tell you when.

CBS

BMW, Mercedes (and most prestige cars) have what is known as a CBS system or Condition Based Servicing. This means that when they car needs to be serviced it will tell you!

The CBS system monitors the usage and lifespan of all the functioning parts of the car. When a functional part becomes worn, fractured, broken or is nearing the end of its lifespan the service light will appear on your dashboard letting you know the car needs to be serviced.

On average, the vehicle will give you around a month’s warning (before the worn parts life expires). This givens you ample opportunity to get the car booked in with your dealer.

So through the long and short of it, your car will tell you when it needs to be serviced so until then, sit back and enjoy the ride!

If your car is due for a check or service give us a call on: 01634 244 211 or visit our servicing page on our website here: http://www.bigmotoringworld.co.uk/mot-service
