Buying service items

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Just wondered if there was any mileage in buying Oil or any other items typically used during a service from places like Europarts when they are on offer.

 

Do you save enough to make it worth while, and do garages mind you taking your own products?

 

I'm not overly confident of buying my own stuff, and tend to let the garage deal with it anyway.

 

Thanks

I buy all my stuff from ECPs except oil I get a better deal elsewhere but I do service my car myself. When I didnt service the car myself the garage never minded but if your happy to pay for it and have no hastle do that.

I tend to supply certain bits to the garage myself, not just because it saves money but because I can select which oil etc I want. Specialists will have the good stuff in anyway, it's the other 'run of the mill' garages that I would personally supply my own bits to.

I'm quite lucky to have found a nice garage local to me, and i'm very confident with them.

So i should double check things like what oil they would use etc
