    Main dealers are just as bad as Kwik Fit. I've heard stories of one dealership only changing the oil and filter on a service no matter what service tier you pay for. If and only if someone complains that something wasn't done/checked, they will then do the rest of the service.
    Do you believe all the stories you hear?

    Not stories but they are posting an experience.
    What about Adrian's claim here about the mile long mot fail and subsequent pass at another garage without having the car touched?

    Are you saying that it does not happen?
