Default National Service Network...!?!?!

The Mrs got a quote of £300+ for the 2-year service on her '57 Civic Type R, which seemed a bit steep ... bit of googling later and she's got a quote of £150 for the service from National Service Network. They use OE standard parts and it doesn't invalidate the warranty (!?), they also collect the car etc...

... just wondering if anyone had any experience with them or anything else she should consider (no FHSH could affect resale value I guess!?)

Any thoughts / views gratefully received.

Cheers

£300 sounds like a right royal rip off to me!

It is just the oil, oil filter, air filter and pollen filter (if fitted) that are changed, Autodata state a 2hour service time, so the bulk of the cost is labour, checking brakes, suspension and so on, in all over 70 service operations.

£150 seems reasonable.

Thats as long as they actually change the oil and the filters! I have seen those missed out!
