    AA Service and Repair

    Anyone used this?

    I spend 40K’s on the road, and like the idea of having my car properly serviced for that reliability feeling, but am getting rather tired of the hassle of going to a garage for a loan car every 3 months…….

    As they come to your home, this looks like an appealing option.

    Alternatively, I could just oil and filter at my local Rapid Fit, but this would invalidate the parts and labour warranty I am using (for the Stay mobile option).

    If you are a high mileage driver, and don’t drive an Aygo, what do you do?

    I've just got a quote from them and the MOT is £55 and a full service is ~£250.

    I got my MOT done for £35 and a full service done for ~£150.

    The breakdown service is fine, but I don't see this being good value for money.

      There are loads of mobile car servicing companies. Just find a good local one.

      MOT is just once a year, so I'm sure you can live with that.

        My last service was €1500 but then again, I'm not a permie
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          What car are we talking about?

          Your Mazda MX-5?

            Seen sense and ditched the MX5 - as though that 1991 beast would handle a 40K hack!

            A 2.5 year old focus diesel, bought from new.

            Plan to keep it until it dies.
