✅ 4-Step Guide

Finding our service reception is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth check-in.

1. Enter from Port Road: You will see the main Maughan Thiem Cheltenham dealership entrance on Port Road. Enter the site between our Ford and Hyundai showrooms.

2. Take the Second Left: Proceed past the first row of cars and take the second left turn immediately after the large black gate. You will see two lanes clearly marked for service.

3. Pull Into Either Service Lane OR if they’re empty, all the way to the undercover area.

Pro Tip: Don’t worry about any brand-specific signage everywhere, it is the same check-in point no matter what car you have.

4. Stay in Your Vehicle For your convenience we offer a valet service, so please remain in your car, and one of our One of our friendly Service Advisors will greet you at your window to check you in and guide you from there. If it’s during a busy time like first thing in the morning, you might have to wait up to 10 minutes but don’t worry, we’ll get to you!
