Service

[TWR]

Do you service your own car or do you take it to a Local Dealer / Family run Garage? do you check on what's been done? there is a reason I asked this last Q.

Service? What's that? I work to a policy of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it!'. OK, I might ask the local garage to change the oil & filter every other year when it goes in for its MOT, but that's about it!

I dare not put my thoughts into your reply Bueno?

I use the main dealer for two of our cars, the other is serviced at home.

Yes I do check what has been done.

Mine is long overdue a service but it doesn't do many miles. I'll have to take it to a local garage as the main dealer is flipping miles away.

Mine goes to the local garage (hate main dealers), can't check what's been done as I wouldn't know how, that being said if it wasn't done I'm sure the bloody dash would start bonging at me.

When I was working I had my car serviced every year at a local family run garage. They have an excellent reputation, and we know them personally, so I don't feel the need to check the work carried out.

Since becoming a domestic goddess, I don't do nearly enough miles to justify an annual service, so just get it done every other year at the same garage.

Rocky, I dare not tell you the Lies that I encountered with our local " PEUGEOT" Dealers a few years ago, I now do my own / wife's car I do not trust any garage.

In my experience main dealers are rubbish. I use an independent garage that is close to work. Been using them for years, all their work has been tip top and they don't break the bank. Have to get it serviced at a VAT registered garage so I don't invalidate the warranty, got 3 more years of that to go yet before I can start tinkering with it myself.
