Car Servicing Robbing Bastards

You'll get the gist quick enough. Feel free to vent about life's rich tapestry and how it pisses you off. But steer clear of other forum members or you will be the target of a virtual kick up the arse.

Car Servicing Robbing Bastards

Post by Sid Pervcat »

Just had the car serviced.
£298 Inc vat.
For an 'interim' service which is basically a fucking oil change!!!!!!

How the fuck do these cunts justify their prices??

I'm not saying I didn't know how much it was going to be, and it's my own fault because I wanted it serviced by a main dealer to maintain a full dealership service history but fuck me, robbing bastards!!!!!

I bet they graciously topped up your windscreen washer fluid and charged you £20 + VAT for the privilege, too!

It's because the unwary make a big deal about "full service history".
It's about the "box-ticking" culture.
It's about an Official Stamp.

Most people know fuck-all about cars, me included, and we assume that a Stamp in the log-book means something. That's why.

It is cheaper to actually buy the "Official Stamp" , from a stamp maker , and do the oil change yourself.
I hate to see what they would charge to replace a cylinder head gasket . Probably put it on "diagnostics " for 96 hours on top .

It's also about not invalidating the warranty, which is why I needed to go to a main dealer.

It's, also not just about stamping the log book, as main dealer services are recorded electronically anyway.
