National tyres, oil change for v6= £36
Not sure if the link will work but I put the reg of my 190 in for an oil and filter change quote on national website and it gave me a price of £40.57 for mid range or £55.58 for premium. On their website they have a 10% off coupon too.
The mid range price would be £36 for oil,filter and labour? http://www.national.co.uk/oil-vehicle-search.aspx Anyone ever used them before? Is this too good to be true? |

Get your oil and filter from ECP for around £25 and do it yourself?
I'm not being a smart ****. I wasn't sure about doing it myself but it's ****** easy so I'd highly recommend it... Im use this oil: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/ca...6011&0&cc5_245 |

No that sounds about right. I Think it's good as I'd rather pay that instead of doing it myself for about the same cost

Oil change aside I popped into a National Tyre depot (Brownhills) last week as I had a slow puncture, they took the wheel off and tested the tyre before finding it was a very slow leak from the base of the valve, replaced it and sent me on my way - no charge and with a smile to boot, excellent service I thought.

Especially this time of year if you don't fancy crawling about under a car in the rain and having the hassle of disposing of the old oil. |

The price from National Tyres is the basic price - if there is an undertray to remove this will be charged extra (don't know how much though).

It is a good price - but I would like to see the brands of Filters and the brand of Oil they are using first...
I like to know what's goes in my engine I'm afraid.

Doesn't really matter what oil is used in an engine if the car lives under a cover and doesn't get used though
I have to say though I do enjoy the satisfaction of rolling around under a car in the rain/wind etc draining old oil out Brian |
