Was getting my usual evening fill of Eric the Car Guy on Youtube  when I noticed a ''Master Fit'' (how ironic) advert offering services for £129 and to click for more details.

Out of interest I clicked on it and firstly the £129 is just for the small cars i.e. Corsa and gets worse if you own something bigger such as an Insignia.

But what I was mostly shocked about is how little you get for your money.

Quote

''Our Vauxhall trained technicians (tee-hee) will carry out your service using only genuine Vauxhall parts.

They'll change the oil and filter and top up the antifreeze, coolant (same thing), windscreen wash and power steering fluid. Plus they also check and adjust the tyre pressures. All this from just £129*

*Subject to Ts and Cs''

So you get an oil/filter change, some tap water and tyre pressure adjustment which is free at Sainsburys.

I ask. WTF!!!!! LOL

Yep money for old rope - and they will probably feck it up

A 'B service' (major service) fro my R320 at Mercedes would set  you back .........

Similar money for my Jag

Yes, probably put the oil in the washer bottle.

At least they'll tighten the oil filter housing to 40000000Nm to ensure it doesn't work loose.
