Best Company for Servicing - sheppy1 - 19:th-Mar-2016 Hi All [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] Okay.. I'm aware this is going to vary hugely depending on your experiences, areas etc. But as I've voided pretty much every warranty on my car now I though I'd start to look around elsewhere for my yearly services (vauxhall current do mine and I'm in that service club as 20 something a month). So.. What companies would folks suggests for services, Mot's etc? Bearing in mind I would trust my local SMALL garages with my cup of coffee let alone my car!

They collected it and brought it back to me. Very reasonable price wise. Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - sheppy1 - 19:th-Mar-2016 Oh wow! That's awesome! Are they a national company? So far national tyres are winning, they're the only ones who always do work for me within the hour no matter when I call. They are cheaper than vx for small service, major and MOTs too. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Also the manager of the garage went and did a 40 minute round trip to collect my tyre for me and then fit it within half an hour of me getting there! Top service that [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - bhalay207 - 19:th-Mar-2016 Yeah they're a national company that use local garages. I was very impressed Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - tucpal - 19:th-Mar-2016 i do all my own servicing apart from oil change but i do supply oil filter etc myself to my friend and then i get my friend to change the oil and stamp the book i have OCD when it comes to servicing also.

[PENSIVE FACE] Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Oh wow! This servicing stop people look awesome! Good prices and they do collection and delivery here too! So are they their own company or do they use local garages?

I have used a fair few of my local garages and so have family members and every one of them have been ***** and I wouldn't trust them to do any further work on my car... I wouldn't want them to be used by servicing stop Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - bhalay207 - 19:th-Mar-2016 Might be worth ringing them to enquire Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - sheppy1 - 19:th-Mar-2016 Yeah I defo will! Weird how national tyres can do an interim service for £46! Surely they can't be doing very much! They said they change the oil and filter and do basic checks though at the very least! Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - bhalay207 - 19:th-Mar-2016 I love how garages say they do basic checks. I bet they cast an eye over it if that. I looked servicing stop up when I first found them and they were on dragons den. Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk I've just looked at their website and seen that they have a 50% sale on. Just booked service and MOT for the end of the year. Received email confirmation and quoted the price that I'll pay also. We'll see if they stick to it. Sneaky! Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: Best Company for Servicing - sheppy1 - 19:th-Mar-2016 Yeaahh guess that's a risk with any garage though eh! I'll ring them anyway Monday and see what they say about garages they use [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk |
