“"Terrible Service" - Booked with Servicing stop for a full service on my Mini Countryman …paid up front. It was picked in the morning (late) and I was informed it would be delivered back between 4and 6pm Had a call from the Garage in the day saying they recommend works to the car - brake fluid replaced, wipers changed and auxiliary belt change - When he told me the cost was an additional £550+ vat. I said NO He then said I needed to pay an additional £30 for oil which Servicing Stop confirmed was included!! As he had the car I paid it anyway - but by 8:40pm that evening and still no car - Garage was closed and my Wife needed her car for Physio in the morning At no point did anyone say they needed the car overnight!!! If they did I wouldn’t have given them the key.... Had to go to Garage and retrieve car next day, Garage blamed Servicing Stop and told me I had no contract with them... 'Unbelievable' - Car still had servicing light on and not sure that they had done anything to it at all except get the drivers seat filthy!! Dreadful experience - Don't book through Servicing Stop”

“Awful "service" I was quoted £650 for work needing doing on the car - I refused the work because I wanted to check elsewhere - Car was then returned not 30 minutes later with a flat tyre - the car looked as though it had been completely untouched! When I complained about the flat tyre upon it'a return i was told that "puncture's can occur at any time, and the garage cannot claim responsibility" They offer cheap "services" for a reason folks. You get what you pay for - spend the extra money and go somewhere that'll do the job - I certainly will be”

“Would give zero stars if possible. Booked for a service the following day, took my payment then called immediately to put the booking back a week, day before this someone called once on a number we couldn't ring back on (despite numerous attempts) and then morning of rearranged booking got a call to say it wasn't happening. Said it was because we didn't confirm the day before but we didn't know we had to and they admitted they were having a problem with their calling app. Asked for a refund so we could book elsewhere and was told it would be up to ten working days and there was no one I could speak to about this or raise an official complaint with - just got told to use the chat function on the website! Terrible service.”

“Scam. Do yourself a favour and type ‘BBC watchdog Servicing Stop’ into Google. I’ll be reporting them to trading standards. Was quoted almost £1000 for work which just didn’t feel right. So I called another two garages and they both took me through the work and said it was £2-£300. (*You can view your MOT results in real time yourself by googling ‘DVLA check my MOT’). So I rejected the work. I was then called by the garage Servicing Stop had sent it to and told that Servicing Stop inflate the prices for commission. The garage offered a new quote direct with them instead for £££s less. I still rejected it because clearly I couldn’t trust either of them by that point. Asked them to return my car and booked in with a different garage myself, with an honest quote. As if that wasn’t bad enough I was assured by Servicing Stop that my car would be back by 6pm Friday - it never showed up! No call - and no way to contact anyone. Their offices are Mon-Fri only. Waited in all night and spent frantic morning trying to see where it was as I desperately needed it that morning. The garage they used has awful reviews. Servicing Stop took zero responsibility - they don’t organise the pick ups etc, garages do - and from what their rep told me their only role seems to be booking you in. NEVER AGAIN. Feel utterly scammed. They also add hidden but ‘compulsory’ fees, so it’s really not just £125 - mine was closer to £200 with ‘special oil’… Live and learn - I’ll be booking my own MOT from now on with a good local garage and save myself the stress and extra expense.”

“Avoid this Company like the plague. Absolute rip of merchants, would have been far cheaper to take my BMW 530D to the main dealer. I'm sure much of the work they claimed needed doing didn't. £192 to change brake fluid £172 to change anti freeze £240 to change fuel filter etc. Whole thing looks like a scam.”

“Late picking up, then my car went on a lovely jolly to Clacton and Jaywick while garage was located near Colchester. The route home went past my place and to stansted then back to mine. Had car looked over by an independent and they said oil hadn’t been changed, break fluid not changed and no air filter. Bunch of bloody con men and they are still operating , I couldn’t get away with the bull shut in my job like that and it beggars belief they are still operating . No recourse, no refund, no communication since . DO NOT USE”

“Service Stop knowingly overcharged me for work not carried out. They are a shambles. It’s almost impossible to actually speak to a ‘human’ about any issues and when you call their number you get no option to speak with someone. DO NOT ALLOW SERVICE STOP TO PLAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE! They are the lowest of the low and charge extortionate fees, their workmanship is poor and they have the moral compass of a stoat!”

“I've got a 2.0 A1 competition 4.0. I put it in for a full service and MOT. It was driving absolutely fine and had no engine lights or errors on it prior to going into the garage. I've just been invoiced this: REMOVE & REFIT : WINDSCREEN WIPER - BLADE/S (MOT FAIL) £145.00 RENEW : BRAKE FLUID (SERVICE ADVISORY) £140.00 INVESTIGATE : ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT (SERVICE ADVISORY) £265.00 REMOVE & REFIT : SHOCK ABSORBER/DAMPER (ONE) (REAR SUSP.) LEFT (MOT FAIL) £667.88 PERFORM : LIFETIME FUEL TREATMENT AND ENGINE FLUSH (SERVICE ADVISORY) £135.00 when a driver brought the car back from the garage where the work was actually done he had no idea about all these charges”

“Avoid. LIke. The. Plague. If there was an option for zero stars, that's what they would get. I booked in my car. They collected it and drove it 50 miles away then claimed it needed £2000 worth of work to pass its MOT and I needed to pay before the car would be returned. I paid - under protest - on time and the car was not returned when agreed, but 24 hours later. It was clear that work they claimed had been done had NOT been done, and the engine light was still lit on the dash. I managed to get a pittance refund, about 10% of the total cost after a long battle. Just go somewhere else! To add insult to injury, one of our car mats was missing when the car was returned.”

“Absolutely awful company! They don’t bring your car back - they demand huge sums of money and most customers have to report to the police to try and get their vehicles back! Facebook pages galore of the victims of this company”

“Zero stars if I could. How these people have the audacity to ask for reviews is laughable. Go onto Facebook and read all the awful and heartbreaking reviews that people have endured at the hands of these crooks...”

“It's a scam service . You pay for service and they will do a imaginary service and you will pay double. After I payed over 1000£ they didn't stamp my service book. I called customer service and they said that the service was done and someone ( imaginary again) will come to stamp my service book. After many calls nothing happened. I took my car to a garage and they said that nothing was replaced or repaired to my car. I don't know how they are still on business.”

“Absolutely awful service. A man called Gary tried to charge me for items I didn't need then miscommunicated the cost to make it seem like I was being given a good deal. He was patronising, rude and said things like "fine, I'll just get the car back to you then because you are clearly confused." This wasn't the case at all. DO NOT USE this service, particularly if you are a woman.”

“-Minus 5 stars I only wanted a service, i paid advance. Car was picked up at allocated time. Got a phone call later in the day saying rear suspension, need oil draining and other things to a cost of around £800. I didn't have funds for the work as I only wanted a service. Anyway they somehow got £300+ out of me for the immediate things they said I needed doing. I had initially looked on Trust Pilot for reviews. I since found out they are being investigated for fake reviews on there. Tbh I don't even think they did any of the service, or work. The garage also tightened my wheel nuts too tight, causing me more expense when I needed a new tyre as it was so tight it ruined the thread on the locking nut. Servicing stop told loads of lies when I've contacted them and have had an excuse for everything. The service book was ticked on remove wheels, but they said the garage didn't have to take off the wheels. Don't trust them with your car. These are the lowest of the low. AVOID, AVOID AVOID!!!”

“Tried to bully me into buying services I didn’t need- threatening if I didn’t buy them my car would fail MOT - didn’t buy and spoke with the mechanic on return of my car (which was 2 hours late and the garage wasn’t accepting calls so had no idea where my car was) the mechanic said that it was a good car and the service I was trying to be sold on the phone want needed- apparently they try it with a lot of customers on the phone”
