National Servicing Network (NSN) OR Servicing Stop

Shaanbles

My Audi needs a service, not much wrong as far as I know; it will cost be over £420 at Audi so have looked at cheaper otpions

NSN are coming in at £165 and Servicing Stop at £199; does anyone have experience of either of these companies?

TIA

never heard of them

ask work mates etc what small garages they use, better job, cheaper price

Used NSN on OH last service as they give NHS discount.

Phone them and ask which garage will actually do they work, they don't do it themselves but arrange a local garage. You pay NSN.

If you are happy with the local garage, go ahead. Or be cheeky (why not) phone the local garage and say NSN say this much, can you do better?

I used NSN for my GOLF. They gave a far better price than anyone else I could find which included going direct to the local garages. They even collected and dropped off the car when they said. I'll definitely use them again.

I found this code - DAN - on the money ssaving voucher site. Enter it and you get a discount.

I thought it was Servicing STop who were featured? Didn't actually see it though.

Will probably go with NSN as they've been around for several years and not actually heard anything negative about them

Yeah fine, but as I said it is really the local garage who gives you the service, all NSN do it book it in, call you to take payment and send you the invoice.

NSN are quite good.

Lots of leasing companies use them instead of main dealers. Their prices seem competetive.

The trouble is not knowing who they intend to use, the booking is done blind (i.e. no details about the garage)

did an online quote for an 02 Zafira, full service for £180, my local garage quoted £260

Now the only problem I have is working out if I need a full or interim service. Looked in the service book but it doesn't help!
