Keeping Drivers in Brighton and Hove on the Road
Brighton and Hove sits between the sea and the South Downs, and Brighton is the finishing point of the famous London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, held each November, which celebrates some of the oldest cars on the road. The A23 links Brighton with London and the M23, the A27 bypass runs across the downland to the north, and the A259 follows the coast. With chalk downland and steep valleys running through the city, many local roads are hilly, and sea air can speed up corrosion on brakes and exhausts. Busy city traffic, seafront queues in summer and tight parking add stop-start wear too. Servicing Stop can collect your car from your home or workplace in Brighton and Hove and return it the same day.
Our Full and Electric Services Explained
Servicing Stop offers two service options for drivers in Brighton and Hove. 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.
