if you're happy that's all that matters.

The people who can and do their own spanner work (myself included) don't like to seen others spend more than they need to for basic servicing.  ;) ;)

Since we haven't got a modify button, I will correct any mistakes I spot. If we all do it, it might get busy, you never know ;D

Put my car in for an MOT and interim service last Saturday at the local kwik fit. For £115 I expected an MOT and an oil and filter change. I was surprised at the level of service I got. It passed it's mot (of course) and I got a sheet with all the brake pad and disc measurements, all the locks were greased and a little note telling me that my antifreeze was only effective down to -15 degrees.
I went to top up my screenwash this morning and found it was already topped up.
No doubt some will knock them just because they can, but I will use them again.

Oh...and my old filter was there for me to check, if I wanted to.

K'ing hell   :o  :o  :o

So £65 for an oil & filter change!? I'd don't pay that much at a BMW dealer for the bike....

No. That's what I expected. Learn to read. An Mot is £30 so the service was £85, but I got more than an oil change.....as I said.

And......I would trust kwik fit more than I would trust a BMW dealer. ;D

Where in that quote does it say the MOT was £30? You still paid £85 for a "service" which was basically just an oil change. I bet even Vx would not charge that much!

At least the sump plug and oil filter are good and tight that is what the Slow Fit scaffold pole torque wrench is for.  ;D ;D ;D
