Mobile car servicing, Dublin?

    Heading off on a road trip next weekend and thinking I should get the car serviced before hand.

    Mental busy in work at the minute so contemplating a mobile car service. Are there any reasons why this is a bad idea? What can they not do on the street that they can do in the garage? I'm looking at a company called Allvech. €200 for a full service.

    There's a First Stop not too far away from me either.

    I know zilch about wagons.

    Good man, cheers.

    Any thoughts on the drawbacks of a mobile servicer, if any?

    Make sure that he can dispose of the old fluids and doesn't leave them with you to do so.

    The main thing to consider is there's the call out charge on top of the work they are going to do.

    I've used Allvech before to sort something out for me, seemed decent enough to talk with and the guy they had out, was keen to upsell future services. But the call out fee, wasn't something I was keen on. It wasn't a lot, but it's something that'll make me think, I'd probably only use this kind of service if I couldn't get the car anywhere.
