🚗⛽ What’s going on with fuel, servicing, and engine oil prices right now?

You may have noticed prices creeping up at the pumps—and it’s not just fuel that’s being affected.

Ongoing tensions in the Middle East are pushing up global oil prices, and that has a knock-on effect across the entire automotive industry.

Here’s what it means for you as a driver:

🔧 Engine oil costs are rising
Engine oil is made from crude oil, so when oil prices increase, so does the cost of producing it. This is especially noticeable with high-quality synthetic oils.

🚚 Supply chains are under pressure
Delays and disruptions to global shipping routes mean some oil types and parts may take longer to arrive. You might notice less choice or occasional delays in sourcing specific products.

💷 Servicing costs may increase
Garages are facing higher costs for materials, energy, and transport—so routine servicing and repairs may gradually become more expensive.

⛽ Fuel prices remain volatile
Fluctuations at the pump are likely to continue, which impacts not only your day-to-day driving costs but also the wider industry.

✅ Good news from us:
We’ve secured a strong stock of engine oil before the recent price increases, helping us keep costs more stable for our customers in the short term.

👉 Our advice:

- Keep up with regular servicing to avoid bigger repair bills later
- Book in early if your service is due
- Speak to us if you have concerns about oil types or availability

📌 Please note:
Due to ongoing price fluctuations, any quotes provided will be valid for 7 days only.
