Ripped off with an oil change!!
Discussion
Took my car to a garage for an oil change who shall remain nameless, NO NAMING AND SHAMING PLEASE ...oops
Oil change no more than 40 quid + VAT mate, he said
No worries ill pick it up tonight mate, i said
66 quid please sir?
WTF!! you said it was 40 thats a 50% increase in the price!
Yeah sorry about that, must have quoted you wrong but thats the price and theres the job card so you can break the prices down.
Anyway, paid him 60 and left, did not have time to argue with the chap, so left very unhappy.
Now i had an oil change with a main dealer-Vauxhall about 6 months ago & they charged me £35 for full synthetic & filter for my Merc
I cant see how anyone can justify 1 hr's labour for an oil change. At the most its 30mins on the ramp.
so 20 for labour, 15 for oil 5 for a filter- £40+VAT...
I dont like dealing with liers and con-men and will not be using him in the future.
Choose to listen or not, this is just my experience with this garage.
