That'd be our favourite local dealership then, yeah?

Phone Showells, and get a quote from them. Use that when you phone and they should match it.

 

Yep that'd be them....... If I can get hold of some Mobil 1 5w40 I'll do it myself.. just gotta borrow some axle stands..... did get a strut brace from them for 55 notes tho!!!!! Was just lying around with a price tag on it... Damn impulse buys.... thats why I goota save cash on the oil change and get my hands dirty.....

 

Try Williams A Lewis. I got a service the other week for 87 quid so they can't be much for an oil change. That was in Shrewsbury but I think they've got a place in Bridgenorth and that's only 25 miles up the road from you. Besides the road between Kidderminster and Bridgenorth is a laugh!

Too right it is HuwWilz !!



Rich - Do you really wanna miss out on the dealer stamp for a service? May be cheaper short term, but think of the problems when you come to sell it...

 

Rik M8 its only an oil change, the book doesnt even get stamped does it??

 

If it's a service interval - It gets stamped.

(Or it should do!! I had to make another journey out there to get the muppets to stamp my first service!).

 

And another thing...Check out the Drivetrain section with a search. Mobil 1 ? Not sure about that. Pete Croney has put out some useful info on oil to use.

 

No William A Lewis in Bridgnorth mate - try Ludlow!!!!

Agree Kiddy road is tops apart from the fkucing lorry convoys!!

Taking Sqizz's point - if 'they' can not be bothered to offer a reasonable price up front (which is taking the pi$$ IMHO) why not just take it straight to Showells? I did after much the same exercise and can recommend the experience.

i paid £129 for oil and filter change using helix fully synth and fully synth gearbox oil change at my local friendly dealer. this was not a routine service just an extra.

make sure you use Mobil 1 Motorsport- normal Mobil 1 is too thin.

Scoobysport will do it for about £80 if I recall. Mind you adding in the petrol from your to Essex......

 

Ah boyz, the local you know who strikes again. They really do take people to the cleaners with their prices and so easily match other dealers. Anyhow I would try Showells. See you at Donno Rich
