I actually made a profit on the oil, i bought a 4 for 3 before it went up, you had the whole box off me.

Got it back after it had gone up....

Should have taken it back to the dealer and cashed in  :D

Thanks for all of your constructive comments. B*st*ds.

For my £195 I got:

Oil flush/change and filter
Strip brakes/clean/adjust
Air filter
Pollen filter
Fuel system cleaner
Srark plugs

As well as this I got a MASSIVE good garage scheme checklist with the brake pad and disc measurements, tyre depth measurements and even a CO2 emissions readout. If I have any complaints I can go online and slag the garage off.

Breakdown was:

Parts      £ 76.20
Labour    £ 90.00
VAT        £ 29.10


Total      £195.30


Not that bad for what I got.
