Just had my Suzuki serviced by a main dealer and part of the bill was an "INTELLIGENT MOTORIST PACK" at £24.98 + vat
Anyone got any idea what this might be ?
I should have queried it at the time

    Probably some "feel good" thing for their customers, to say "even though you drive too slowly and cause a hazard on the roads, we still think your a good driver".

    The first result on Google led to

    http://www.bluechemgb.com/brands/intelligent-motorist.html

    The website it links to is unreachable, but looking at descriptions of the other BlueChem brands I read it as probably some sort of additive treatment or pack designed to maximise garage income at the customer's expense.

    An intelligence test to see who queries their bill?
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
  • Humm, sounds good, but is it only available to intelligent motorists?

    one to call the dealer on.
    Is oil listed?

    Following on from previous post,

    seems to confirm that it's a concoction of additives that you probably neither want nor need, added during the oil change.

    Yes - Oil is listed
    If (as it appears) - they have added some gloop to my engine without my permission - I will be taking my car back for them to flush it out and replace the oil at NO CHARGE !!

    Sounds like what Vauxhall call an " emissions service "....... an engine flush and fuel treatment for £29.99p.

    I'd be much more upset if I'd been billed for a 'dumb motorist pack'...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
