suzieq   10 #13 Posted December 5, 2011 Seems a tad expensive to me...looking closely and reading carefully, they are checking most stuff, topping up the oil and other fluids as needed, but only replacing the oil and air filter. I would assume that if anything else needs replacing it will cost extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I would assume that if anything else needs replacing it will cost extra.  I do think these people need to earn a living aswell. It cost me £90 just for all the filters and oil for my car...no labour costs. And that was at trade...as my son is a mechanic. £50 is an exceptional price for a service and well worth paying the extras:rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

alchresearch   214 #16 Posted December 6, 2011 It cost me £90 just for all the filters and oil for my car...no labour costs.  It all depends on the car and level of oil you want. An oil filter is a fiver, air filter a tenner, oil from £20, fuel filter from a fiver to £15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Unregistered   10 #17 Posted December 6, 2011  Has anyone ever used this garage?  Seems a good deal to me but could it be too good to be true?  Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure. . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ChrisT70   10 #19 Posted December 6, 2011 50 quid is very cheap go for it they cant mess a service up  years ago Heeley Bridge garage - MG Main dealer (now defunct) serviced my mates almost new MG Metro. they managed to cross thread the sump plug changing the oil, and didnt tell him, sending him home with a leak of oil, that developed over a week into a puddle that ruined his drive. denied liability and claimed it wasnt their fault, as a new sump was needed. no one else touched the car from new and they never got to service it again after that!

Bambeano   10 #20 Posted December 6, 2011 how do i know if its synthetic oil or not?! got a 1.9 JTD Fiat Stilo  Fiat Stilo is fully synthetic. I believe off the top of my head that it is 10w40 and make sure that the oil is compatible with turbo diesels  Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #21 Posted December 6, 2011 Fiat Stilo is fully synthetic. I believe off the top of my head that it is 10w40 and make sure that the oil is compatible with turbo diesels  It could be 5w40 or even 5w30 if it has a diesel particulate filter. You need to make sure you have the right one for the low ash content and to save killing your turbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They are only replacing the oil and air filters. Edited December 7, 2011 by jan2002 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
snoopjiggy   10 #24 Posted December 7, 2011 Just spoke to Justin that owns this he said:  "We order your oil to the spec from motor factors, so you can't go wrong"    Also if the car is synthetic oil or above 2ltr, they wll still do the job but with an extra charge for the oil.  I'm booking my car in ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
