Getting your car servicing for Estepona done at a performance garage might sound odd, but it makes sense: people who know engines inside out also look after them properly. At SRM Performance we service every make, from an Ibiza to a Range Rover, using oils and filters to the correct specification.
Coastal life is hard on a car in its own way. Short trips around town, from the centre to the port or out to Cancelada, never let the engine reach full temperature and dirty the oil sooner. Salt air goes for brakes, underbodies and electrical connections. Summer heat punishes batteries, coolant and air con. Then there are the long August runs on a jammed A-7 with the engine idling in traffic. A proper service looks at all of that, not just the oil.
Beyond servicing we do timing belts, clutches, brakes, automatic gearbox oil changes and general repairs. If we spot something that needs attention, we'll show you and give you a price before doing anything. And if you ever fancy a bit more from the car, you know where we are.

Frequently asked questions
Do you service all makes?
Yes, every make. The makes we see most are VAG, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and Jaguar.
Do you stamp the service book?
Yes. We always use oils and parts that meet the manufacturer's specification.
How often should I service a car that mostly does short trips?
With lots of short journeys it's wise not to stretch the manufacturer's maximum interval. Tell us the car and how you use it and we'll advise.
Will you check with me before doing extra work?
Always. We'll show you what we've found and give you a price before we go ahead.
