“Service and MOT was arranged, my vehicle was picked up by a mechanic, the mechanic did MOT and servicing, and the requested price was a lot higher than advertised. My vehicle was returned same day by the mechanic i his overalls, with a slip of paper, no professional paperwork, no receipts as you would with a reputable garage, the car has started producing a noise which was not there before, so now have an appointment to have a vehicle health check. I do not think the concept on Dragons Den, has been used to its potential, therefore I will be using a garage I know i can trust, where work carried out is provident, and any replacement parts receipted and the old displayed. I will not be using this service again, I don't want rehimbursing, as I have paid for a valuable lesson !!!”

“I was quoted £165 instead of the £300 that Audi quoted. Like others have reported I got a call to say that all specialist fluids needed changing (I thought this was included as I was clear this was my 1st service on the car). Audi definitely include it! Then they tried to tell me my brake pads were wearing and would need changing in the next few thousand miles. I said no because I had only done 18000 miles and everyone online clearly recommends that brake pads should do between 25 and 70000 miles. Absolute joke! In addition to this they then overcharged me by another £25 to reserve a price for servicing next time and then I got charged £1 for paying by debit card which I understand is against payment card industry rules. 5 days later I have still not received my refund. I wish I had checked here first and seen so many bad reviews. This company really need to sort themselves out - appalling.”

“I recently had my Renault clio serviced with this company and boy was I ripped off, quoted £73 quid for a full service, only to get a bill off 320 quid. Said new brake pads and brake disc and new tyre needed that's load of crap because it had an mot in September and nothing was mentioned and the car passed, so we said leave it as we knew that the information given by the was incorrect. So we ended up paying £230. And the brake fluid hadn't even been checked or changed. Stay well away from this company Take your car to a reputable garage. That's I'm doing from now on I will never make the same mistake again by using this company. For a full service they only changed 4 things on my car so I'm taking it my dad's mechanic and see if the work that they said they had carried out has actually been done beware of this company avoid like the plague”

“A quoted £108 for full service and MOT inflated to 281! Overcharged for brake fluid and anti freeze. Nearly double than Halfords. Avoid!”

“Work was done on time but service book not stamped. Garage says come to us and stamp it. Service stop says post to us and we will stamp it. Make sure you hand over the service book to the pick up to avoid disappointments.”

“Where do I start? Okay, let's go to the beginning. I, like many people saw a cheap quotation to complete a full service and MOT so I went ahead with it and got this arranged. At the beginning it was fine, they'd send confirmation and the car got collected quickly too. When the car got to the garage and their processes were completed, I get a call telling me MOT failed due to 1 tyre and it needs replacing. I was like, fair enough and I agreed to get this replaced. They had thrown about 8 other advisories but I refused to get it completed as it was then going over £500 before VAT. Otherwise, I got charged around £250 for the whole thing. Car came back to me and the first thing the driver tells me is 'your tyres are buckled'. I asked him what do you mean, why was I not told this on the phone?' he said 'I don't know'. I felt arguing with him would be pointless as he looked like a lost deer in the headlights. I checked my car and it showed a light on the dashboard along with 'check car tyres' error message. I contacted Service stop asking them to fix this. This was not an issue prior to the service and mot so there's no reason for this to happen after. I have got no response from them. It appears when it comes to getting the cash, they'll be as quick as the roadrunner in those cartoons but when it comes to rectifying and answering questions, they're no way to be seen or heard. I want this fixed. You guys know who I am. This is my feedback along with me asking for a solution. I do not expect this kind of service after paying a large sum of money. I want a response to my original email ASAP otherwise I will take this further.”

“Fine until you actually need work done. Called me to say car had failed mot as it needed a new tyre. Ok fine. Also needed new brake fluid. Also fine, expected that. Also needs the coolant replaced a full engine flush and "special oils" all in? £450!! I called the garage directly who told me servicing stop add a mark up. Also - they only recommend the brake fluid change and the tyre was needed. The rest were just advisory and not needed. Offered to do those two pieces of work at their own price. £100 and standard oil.”

“Positives: Easy to book and headline price was competitive against previous garages used. Good communication via text and also calls. Garage assigned picked up the vehicle on the date specified and at the time stated. Negatives: On the day of MOT and Service I get a call highlighting additional work identified during service. New rear brake pads, full coolant flush and engine flush before new oil was added. Finally additional cost to add fully synthetic oil. No issue with brake pads as I would expect any garage to ring up and state cost. Took issue with full coolant flush and also additional cost of oil. Rationale is that Service Stop will have access to a system that will tell them the service schedules for any vehicle all garages I have used have access and therefore when they provide you with a cost its fixed as they know what needs to be done. Based on this they will know if a full coolant flush is required and price accordingly at the POINT OF SALE. In addition I am shocked that additional cost of oil cannot be identified at the POINT OF SALE, you can enter your REG into any site selling oil and it will tell you what oil is required for your car and price. So shocked this company do not have the technology to be able to do the same. Final point is that I suspect that any work this company outlines to you will be grossly overcharged by the underlying garage they have sub contracted the work out too and you might feel compelled to just go ahead. I did not want to get ripped off and will be getting quotes from other companies. The sceptic in me feels that the headline price is not reflective in the majority of cases what the final price is and their is an incentive for this company and its sub-contractor garages to add additional costs at inflated prices. I have tried to be objective and point out both the positive and negative experiences.”

“The experience started off really well. Good communication throughout. Car was collected on time as stated. What I don't agree with is that I was called for additional stuff like breaks spark plugs wipers that has nothing wrong with at really expensive rates for example plugs £109 really over priced. Also they don't give you your old filters and replaced goods back. So don't no if it's been replaced or not. But then was charged £25 extra for discount on next service. Which I would like a refund on. Besides all these things the collection and drop off went smoothly. So upto you to decide”
