With my 90k service coming up in a couple of thousand miles I joined http://www.motoreasy.co.uk to spread the cost out. The thing is they specify the place to take the car for servicing. They have told me to go to Nationwide Autocentres ( http://www.nationwideautocentres.com ), which obviously isn't a scooby specialist. Their website states they service cars 'to makers recommendations', but do you think I can trust them to give my scooby a 90k service, considering it includes a cam-belt change amongst other things? I'm a bit dubious but when we're talking around £450 for the 90k service spreading the cost is the only way I can afford it at the moment. Do you think I can trust them with my baby?

'nope'

Thanks mate but that doesn't help much. Any reason I shouldn't trust them?

youd be better sticking 40 quid in a drawer every month! still if you want to do it cheaper, there is a dealer down in westcountry that does it far cheaper than most dealers

The thing is the 90k service is due in a couple of thousand miles, so sticking £40 in the drawer every month wont relly help at the moment, the car was on 87k when I bought it a month ago.
