Strudul Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) So it sounds like clickbait or advertising, but hear me out. Booked my car in for an interim service through Servicing Stop as it was significantly cheaper than I was quoted everywhere else. They allowed me to provide my own oil and filter as I requested, which gave me a further discount on an already very low price. They offer to collect & return your car (which is inclusive in the price I think), but I chose to drive there and back myself as I wanted to be present during the service, which they had no issues with. Everything went smoothly, was done in an hour. It wasn't really a proper service, but the guy changed the oil + filter, topped up fluids, had a look around for any potential problems underneath (pointed out a worn drop link), and gave me my service stamp, which is all i really wanted - don't see the point in paying someone to see if the lights etc work or not. (I'd be doing the service myself if I didn't need that silly stamp.) Total was £38.05 (inc card surcharge), but then I got a couple of emails saying that they'd knock £10 if I left a Trustpilot review and another £10 for a Google review (no requirement for it to be a good review), which brought it down to £18.05. Oil cost me ~£24 from Opie, and the filter was <£9 (plus ~£4 in fuel to get to the garage and back). So okay, it was more like £55, but that's still seriously cheap. They just contract the work to the cheapest nearby garage, so prices and quality of work may vary massively, but I'm pretty happy.
