Car servicing from Shell, tell us what you think.
Discussion
Mazda in Hampshire? no. Not that i'd take it to a dealer. Autolink for me!
Annoying as it was competitive, usually only a penny dearer than Asda, 2 miles away.

It's very annoying having to drive past a convenient Shell garage selling super for £1.39.9 when the supermarket 2 miles further is selling super for £1.30.9
Our local Shell has been a building site for the past year, being re-done. The initial re-opening date they posted on the hoardings was January.. It's still not open.Annoying as it was competitive, usually only a penny dearer than Asda, 2 miles away.

My 14yo shed of a mondeo. Quoted £119 ~10 miles away.
That's sold me then - 14yo Mondeo for my next car or I'll never be able to find somewhere to get anything else serviced Now, all I have to do now is find a manual petrol 5-series touring, seems that's easier than finding somewhere to service it....

"Johnny Ellis, UK sales manager, Shell Lubricants said: “We believe the launch of The Shell Car Servicing Network will be a welcome lead generation tool for many main dealers and franchised workshops, which might have seen a decline in car servicing bookings recently.”

So I'm guessing that it's only for franchises that use Shell lubricants then?
Which is why I can't find a VW or Mazda dealer.
With the collective knowledge on this site + Google maps API, it would be easy to have a searchable database of recommended specialists (and even main dealers).
Then we take a referral fee for each PH Booking and then put that behind the bar at BT&P. Or buy bacon sandwiches at Goodwood.

Will be watching this with interest to see if someone from Shell participates in the thread
They're too busy crucifying the idiot who suggested the idea and invested all that money in the website's development.A website detailing the cheapest Shell petrol station in a 3 mile radius with a price promise to beat competitors by 1p would have had me clicking on the link...
Interestingly, I received a voucher at the end of my Sainsbury's shop last week saying that I'd overpaid by 50p and now had 50p off my next shop. Guess where I'm shopping this week? Keeping it relevant, they also sell petrol 2p cheaper than the nearest Shell garage.

It's mad, isn't it, the amount of loyalty a relatively small amount of money will generate. Sometimes I feel like a right idiot - spending £10 I didn't really need to spend in order to get a fuel voucher that will give me a saving of £2 on a tank miniman said:

I've never took them up on their "spend £50 to get 5p/litre off" as my shop is usually about £15-20. It'd make more sense to buy an extra £10 of petrol and set fire to it. PoleDriver said:
Great idea!!!
I'll just book the Cerb in for a service...
"Sorry, there are no TVR dealerships participating in the Shell Car Servicing Network nearby."
OK, the garage 100 metres from work does a lot of TVR work, and Fernhurst & APM are just up the road so I'll just "Browse other franchises nearby"
Result..."Drive Vauxhall Aldershot"
there are no participating VW dealers near by I'll just book the Cerb in for a service...

What a complete and utter stupid thread. Who even started it? It's spam at best and the person should be banned. And even then the site doesn't even work. I'm in Leeds (ie. no tinpot village in the back of beyond) and according to the site :

It does have comedy potential though - who can get the silliest quote out of it?
I put my shed in it - surprisingly there aren't any Rover dealers participating
The nearest alternative for a full service on my 1995 Rover 218 Diesel is to take it to BMW/MINI Reading for the grand sum of £229 (i.e. about the cost of the car!)
