    Will you be expecting them to look over the suspension, brakes etc for that price or just drop and fill the oil. Is it a service you are looking for? If its just oil you could give it a try yourself? save some Euros

    I do an oil and filter change at half intervals.. I do the regular scheduled change at a local indy, the half interval I do myself with an oil extractor.

    Overkill.. Maybe.. maybe not.

    But in the grand scale of things, it's not massive money.
    Plus, I get to use the oil extractor that I bought.

    If you want to save money.. regular maintaince and paying regularly will save you ultimately having a massive sticker shock of a major repair.

    Motoring isn't cheap. You can do it cheap, but if you go too cheap.. it'll eventually cost you.

    (.. awaits next nct thread.)

    In my experience, in 99% of circumstances where the customer supplies the parts, it's about saving money.
    The indy mechanic that I used to goto (when I had a car in Ireland) once came out to me sour at the previous customer as the customer had brought in parts, as my mechanic said that the customer will get the cheapest part possible, and then blame the mechanic when their cheapo crap brakes.
