One Stop Solution for Vehicle Maintenance and Accessories

At Desire Vehicle Services (DVS) we cover every aspect of vehicle care for drivers across Brentwood, Shenfield, Ingatestone, Billericay, Romford and the wider Essex area.

As suppliers and fitters of multiple brands of dash cams and other hardware, we go beyond simply selling the kit, we hard-wire it neatly into your vehicle, hide the cabling behind your headlining, set the device up and walk you through how it works before you drive away.

The same hands-on approach applies to every service we offer: full mechanical servicing, fault-code diagnostics, ECU remapping, in-car audio upgrades and sat nav fitting.

DVS FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my car be serviced? 

Most manufacturers recommend a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Cars covering high mileage benefit from an interim service every 6 months. We’ll advise based on your vehicle’s age, mileage and manufacturer schedule.

Will servicing at an independent garage affect my warranty? 

No. Under EU Block Exemption Regulations, you can have your car serviced at any qualified independent garage without invalidating the manufacturer warranty, provided we use the correct parts and fluids and follow the manufacturer’s schedule — which we do.

What is engine remapping and is it safe? 

Remapping rewrites the software in your car’s engine control unit (ECU) to optimise fuel and ignition mapping. A correctly written remap stays within manufacturer tolerances and is safer than the off-the-shelf “more power” files some sites sell.

We provide before/after dyno graphs and the original map is stored so the change is fully reversible.

Do I need to declare a remap to my insurer? 

Yes — any modification that changes the performance of the engine should be declared. We provide a full remap certificate to support this.

Do you fit a dash cam I’ve bought elsewhere? 

Yes. We can professionally install dash cams supplied by you, although we’d always recommend buying through us so the warranty, fitting and ongoing support sit with one company.
