    So, to summarise, oil & filter for €69. Or am I missing something?

    Definitely not for all cars, for example M cars... they would be losing money.

    Agreed.

    I assume check and report items mean that they don't fix items for that price. Anything they find will be additional.

    I'm sure a local indy mechanic would do an oil and filter change for 60ish money (obviously depending on oil grade required)
    With no 6 week wait...

    so it's pretty much an oil change and a pre-nct then

    I would strongly advise supplying your own (correct) engine oil and looking for a discount when using any of these cheapo service deals

    Lads why do I pay €160 for a full service on my Honda Accord?

    What does Full service entail? It seems to be the same price in 3 different places I have got it done.

    Basically the service above, but add on change of air filter and spark plugs.

    It will say in your owner's manual what needs doing and when. Don't get sucked in by garages.
    "Full service" means nothing, always ask for an itemised list.

    Google

    69 for that is an ok price. Just make sure they use the right oil for your car.
    Advanced pitstop does a free pre-nct and offer their "full service" too

    You pay that if you wish.

    They should advise you on any extra costs for work they recommend doing.

    If you dont want it, just say no thanks.
