    I got an online quote for my car on Advance Pit Stop's website, which said that it would be €250 for a full service.
    I thought that that seemed a bit steep for oil, filter, plugs and air filter but I would go with them since they are the closest place to work.

    Anyway I drop off the car this morning 9am, they call me an hour later to tell me that it would not be €250, but €455!!!
    I said I am not going to have the full service done in that case as I can get it done locally much cheaper, anyway I settle for the interim service as qouted €99.

    The guy calls me back 30 mins later and tells me that that is now oing to be €125 and they have to wait for the parts from Dublin! Not sure if it can be done today.

    Roll on to 4pm, the bloke calls again and tells me that they cant change the oil because the service light is on, so I have to take it to the main dealers.

    In all my years I have never heard such a load of bollocks or been to such an incompetent garage!

    You think they would be able to get the pricing correct since I put my registration in and it gave me a quote online!

    Terrible company steer well clear.

    Main Dealer would have being better around the Same Price or Cheaper Depending on Car, I wouldn't even let them Change a Tyre on my Car they are Hopeless Terrible Issue's in the Past with Balancing Bring it to Dealer Fixed no Problem, Bring it to a Good Independent or Main Dealer avoid Tyre Fitters for Services, They are Trained for Specific Jobs Exhausts, Brakes, Batteries etc They wont Troubleshoot you're Care if any Problems are found.

    Im Not Taring All of them with the Same Brush just in my Experience.
