No. Although there are some exceptions. You may leave your home during this period:

• to shop for food and other necessary goods and services
• To access medical services or provide caregiving. For example, this includes shared parenting obligations or providing care and support to an unwell, disabled, elderly or pregnant friend or relative.
• to attend work or education (where you can’t do those things remotely)
• for exercise
• You may also leave you home in an emergency or if required by law.

Car servicing falls under necessary goods and services.



Its essential to keep your car roadworthy and maintained.


So yes its fully legal to do.

Key word being 'necessary'. Not having a routine service completed does not make the car unroadworthy. Hence, not necessary.

Having your car serviced on time forms part of the warranty requirements, so if the car was still under warranty and was actually due (or overdue) for the service, you may be able to get away with it.

But, the above is splitting hairs a bit. Again, I wouldn't take the risk of taking it to the workshop myself just for the service. Include it in another approved activity or come up with some other arrangement, iMHO.
