Car Servicing by R J Harvey

When it comes to car servicing in Rayleigh, prevention is better than a cure — and that's exactly what you'll find at R J Harvey.

We understand that each car has its own story and needs. While a full car service is recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months, this is a general rule that might not fit every situation, especially when you consider your car's service history and manufacturer service schedule. That's why we tailor each car's servicing timeline to its age and condition to protect its safety, reliability, performance, and lifespan.

With our highly trained professionals, state-of-the-art equipment, and bespoke approach to each vehicle, it's easy to see how car servicing by R J Harvey offers you much more than just a routine check-up.

Claire Hamilton - April 23, 2025

"I used RJ Harvey today, my car was making a knocking noise, they found that it was an issue with some work I’d had done previously by another garage, they called the company that did the work and got them over to look, this company then took my car and did the work! Most garages wouldn’t have taken the time to do that and just done the work and charged for it. I can’t thank RJ Harvey enough for doing that and making sure the issue was sorted! Will be using again and highly recommend!"
