These Cars are CHEAP to Service!
 
Just put on a BluePrint Air Filter - £5:09 all in!!

£5:09!! :eek:

Good grief!! Oil is £12:99, Oil Filter £5, Spark Plugs £7 each, Air Filter Element £5 ......

You can do a decent Service yourself for less than £40!!

Just make sure you do a damge report beforehand so the customer does'nt balme you for it.

I'm surprised you can get your arthritic gnarled up hands around a spanner :eek: Or has Ting Tong done it for you? (is there NO limit to his/her talents :D)

Still at those prices, there's more of your pension to spend on incontinence pads and werthers originals :D

£5 for an oil filter,they saw you coming, paid £2.17 for a blue print one from APD last week

Ginge ! 05 May 2008 10:50 AM

well i paied 5 quid for fuel. oil and air filter and 6.22 for fully sythetic oil too

but then i supply motorfactors and garages with adl/niparts parts and get them at cost price

remember that ADL now have fixed the prices of there parts unlike before and now garages/factors are limited at the price they can sell em for aswell as service parts have been reduced alot to compete with the changing of the car parts market ( guess what i do for a living pmsl )

Hmmmmm, well ...... this will surprise you - but I only use Subaru Oil Filters, I can just about handle the extra £2:83 cost of these .... it's my only anal quirk I allow myself :lol1:

AND I pre-fill the filter TOO!!! :eek:

Oh sh1t ..... I knew there was something I had missed ...... there I was in my Subaru Dancing Outfit - spark plugs disconnected - seats out - radio tuned into Radio AN1L and I couldn't think what I had missed ...............

My engine will surely blow up in the next 50 miles now :cry:

;) :lol1:
