Our approach to prestige vehicle servicing

At John Delany Motors, we believe every car and every customer should receive the same high standard of care. However, prestige brands often come with additional requirements that demand specialist knowledge, equipment and training. Our professional mechanics are fully trained to carry out prestige vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs to manufacturer standards.

We are able to provide either genuine manufacturers parts or high-quality aftermarket alternatives, depending on your budget or preferences. We always use the correct oil specifications for your vehicle and follow the required service schedules.

To remain fully compliant with prestige servicing requirements we invest in specialist diagnostic equipment including Mercedes Benz star diagnostic testing equipment, Bosch KTS 590 and OPUS DrivePro Elite technology,

Which prestige brands do we specialise in?

We offer individual and business fleet servicing, repairs and maintenance for the following prestige brands:

• Mercedes Benz
• BMW
• Land Rover
• Jaguar
• Audi

All prestige servicing includes the choice of either genuine manufacturer parts or high-quality aftermarket parts. Every service also includes a free vehicle wash. We have access to update your digital service book via the manufacturer or will stamp your physical service book as required. Courtesy cars are available when booked in advance, for a small fee.

We have built a strong reputation for servicing and maintaining prestige vehicles with the same level of care and attention as the main dealerships, often for a fraction of the cost.

Will a non-dealer service affect my warranty?

There is a misconception that vehicle manufacturers, particularly prestige brands, can void your warranty if you use an independent garage instead of a main dealer. Under European Block Exemption rules you cannot be forced to use a dealership for servicing or MOTs.

That said, prestige vehicles often have stricter servicing requirements in order to protect your warranty, and not all garages will be equipped to meet those requirements. These can include using brand specific diagnostic equipment, approved parts and lubricants and more detailed in-depth servicing schedules.

At John Delany Motors, we have access to the necessary equipment, parts and lubricants to service your vehicle in line with manufacturer specifications. Our mechanics are also trained across all the prestige brands we service, ensuring your warranty remains protected.

Is it more expensive to maintain a prestige vehicle?

There are several factors that can contribute to higher servicing costs for prestige vehicles, including:

• Higher Service Expectations: Prestige vehicle owners often expect a higher level of service, which some garages use as a justification to charge premium prices.
• Vehicle Complexity: The additional skill required to service vehicles with complex electrical systems can require further training for mechanics, as well as requiring specialist equipment to be maintained and updated as and when the vehicle technology advances.
• Premium Parts: The price of premium car parts can be a major contributor to the overall price.
• General maintenance: Prestige brands may require more comprehensive and specific servicing options than other brands.

At John Delany Motors, we are able to offer competitively priced prestige servicing, often offering up to 50% off the main dealer prices. That’s because prestige garages may include premium charges purely because of their name. Our pricing is based on the true cost of the work required.

We believe peace of mind comes from knowing your car is being serviced correctly and that you are being charged fairly. That is why we offer free quotes and job estimates, allowing you to compare our services with confidence.
