Hi All
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!

I used servicing stop for my service just gone. They collected it and brought it back to me. Very reasonable price wise.

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.

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

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.

Hmmmmm see that's the thing that would put me off! 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

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!

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.

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!
