Corsa Oil & Filter change & MOT cost?

[Deleted User]

National Tyres do a oil and filter change for 30 odd quid if you book online. Bit more for better oil.

Then find an indie garage for an MOT that charge £30-40.

Sorted.

It's not unreasonable. If you bought a decent grade oil from a shop, that'd probably cost you £20, filter's probably a fiver retail. The going rate for an MOT's about £40, so it sounds like he's charging you £30-40 for an hours work, which is about the going rate for a small garage.

synth is something like £40 a gallon. a micra takes 4.5ish liters

I have been quoted £100 for a MOT & Oil & Oil filter change. Seems a bit dear to me but I know I wont get ripped off for extra work etc by this garage. He tells me synthetic oil is dear? Car is 3 years old and has only done around 8000 miles.

Is £100 a reasonable price?

Spark plugs, air filter, oil and filter can all cause emission fail. Makes sense to book the car in for a service before the mot.

A full service would be better as a decent garage would spot failures in the service and call you before putting it though the mot

I was thinking the same as the above. £30 at a fast fit place for an oil change, plus £40 for an MOT.

However... I'm guessing your garage is charging for an oil and filter change, plus a mini service (a few checks!). My local inde charges £70 for what he calls an 'oil and filter service'. You say you trust your garage so I don't see why not to go with them. Plus you can ask them to check if there's anything obvious wrong with it prior to the MOT.

Is not over the top price you say you trust them so you answered your own question.
