Car Servicing in France

isayoldchap

Apologises if this is in the wrong place.I have searched.
Some of you may have seen the article in Auto Express magazines' current edition.Has anyone serviced their car in France.The survey showed savings of
about 60%+ can be achieved with some models.Mine around 25%
As I drive a Vauxhall Zafira can anyone recommend a dealership near Calais
(they call them Opel there).I assume the warranty will still be valid.On the day
trippers website there was a Europ auto but unsure until I telephone if they are a main dealer.Another excuse to do the Disneyland Paris-Calais Carrefour-cheaper petrol and now servicing thing.Advice appreciated.Ideally if you knew of any forums that have some up to date info.Honest John is ok but some info is from 2002.

I too hear that servicing abroad would reap savings. They say look at dealerships abroad.

Here is a link - hope it helps.

My only reservation is without speaking much of French, how do I get around asking for it?!

this was on a news programme about a week ago, saying the savings are unbelievable!

I checked for my car(BMW) in Cherbourg and it was 280 euros as opposed to about £300.
