Has anybody used it? What's it all about?
Any hidden charges?

If you've got a car under warranty make absolutely sure they're doing the service to the manufacturers schedule and not their own.

Honestly, just take it to your local indie instead, that's where ss will send it and you'll pay less direct.

£148 for an oil change on an E36 328i????

Why hasn't Jiffy lube caught on over here? I used to get monthly oil changes in the US for about $40.

Typical its going to be nineteee' nine quid maaate.

You also need brake pads, dics and calipers, your exhaust is loud and all your tyres are shagged. You've got car seats in it? Think of the kids won't you.

Not huge, lots of short trips in a 6.8l V10 F250 furious Used to get it done after having it washed. The oil change took less time than the wash!
