Hi, I am shortly changing my car and wish to get a FULL service, probably at a national chain garage.

However, having been badly bitten in he past by gargaes which say they've serviced the car but their "service" usually means just doing a few checks. I am looking for a service that will do the usual checks but also include...
  • Change spark plus
  • Change air filter
  • Change oil and oil filter
  • Change anti-freeze
Any good or bad recommendations welcome.

Thanks

    Here's a novel suggestion - why not phone a garage and ask them for a price to do everything you want doing, if you're worried they won't do everything you want them to? :p;)

    As for recommendations don't bother with a national chain garage, they're all overpriced. Ask some peeps who live locally (or let us know where you're based so people have some chance of letting you know).
