nowhereboy Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 You guys will be sick of me banging on about this!! I need to get my car checked over for peace of mind, I bought it a month ago from a random used car supermarket kind of place. Everything is running sweet at the minute but I fancy getting it serviced and looked over anyway. I was hoping to get down to falcon performance this weekend but I'm not going to have the time, it's going to cost a decent amount more there too for petrol and then there's the inconvenience of spending the day in middlesbrough Would you get your car serviced at a standard garage? My local garage have always been fair with me and charge good prices, I trust these guys but just don't know how much they know about the car. Is it really going to be worth the extra £££ and inconvenience to get it looked over by a specialist? Or shall I save my visit to falcon for when the cars getting re mapped and modded? My car has done 58k, anything in particular I should be getting checked out at that mileage? I'm quite keen to do an oil change as I don't know what's in it currently. I'm considering just getting a very minor service and quick look over at my local garage and spending the rest of my cash on a wheel refurb! Is that such a bad idea? I plan on taking it to falcon for a proper service/new exhaust and a map once I get back on my feet with my finances in a months time or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 If you have a local garage that you have used before and can trust then they should be able to carry out your service and also a full inspection. As you know I supply service packs, consisting of genuine, quality fluids and parts etc. So supplying your own parts to your known local garage sounds like a win win to me. Just give me a shout and I can ship out your service pack with the other items that you have ordered from me. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloutrou Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The Nissan dealer I use near me charges me £65 an hour in labour, but I pay that for the warm fuzzy feeling I get from a glass-fronted dealership, I know it's a Nissan and not a Ferrari but seeing a colleagues car go into a filthy garage manned by a spotty youth is high on my list of nightmares.

Ricey Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Nissan dealer - forget it Indie you trust - yip Boggo garage you don't - nope Specialist if you can wait - best Anything minor.......disregard all of the above. Whats the point? Ask for a minor service and thats exactly what you'll get a - a minor service which you can probably do yourself. Anything thats going to go bang in a month is going to go bang no matter who looks at it so just wait a month and get to Falcon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
