Car due for a service?

Thanks for the advice Jeannieblue i agree finding someone you trust is hard.Me I'm just a check the oil tyres and top up with water as and when sort of guy. not mechanically minded.

I will ask around and see whats what. I use to use a little back street garage he's ok but he doesn't use genuine parts and that's why he is cheap but as i have learnt through life cheap is not always best.

No, cheap is not always best - if he is a good mechanic, VAT registered etc., could you not supply a genuine service kit yourself and get him to do it?

Failing that - are you in the south east??

No he is not vat registered.
No a long way from the South East I'm North East.Thanks for the offer. Damn could have found a good garage then.

It does need servicing in order to keep the warranty, after all it is a year old.

The garage might be able to do you a deal since it's done so few miles, but much of the work is just according to schedule no matter how many miles it has done.

I rang both the dealers up and played them off against each other one said they could do it for £155 and the one i bought it from ,from out of town said £130. Does that seem a good deal. It's only 15 miles away.
