I need to get a service for my 2.5i e85, and this website seems to quote £199 for a full service which seems good.

I got a light on my dashboard saying it's time for an oil service, and the full service seems to include an oil service.

For £199 I get all these checks:

I'm a noob, but this seems cheap and they come collect it as well?!?!

Is this a good deal or should I be going somewhere else? And does this full service properly cover the oil service message on my dash?
 
I would look at a good independent near you. I used these once for th Jag XFS and not again, they have small print the charges etc for different oils etc, I got quoted £199 and ended up paying close to £290. The garage that did it were very good, but when I complained they said come direct next time as SS charge more :cry: This is IMHO
 
I know it seems strange, but the best prices and service I have ever had is Halfords Autocentres, straight to deal with and great prices.....give them a try, sure you will be happy. I have used them around 4 times now and great service all the time.
 
Halfords Autocentres are only as good as the people working there. Post your location and i'm sure someone will point you in the direction of a local specialist.
 
My car failed mot and halfords currently fixing it, they seem OK. I live in twickenham, as London. Any recommendations?
