Oil change by Mr Clutch

mikesmith2 · 1st April 2012, 23:58

Had my oil and filter changed by my local Mr Clutch centre and they also checked the Brake fluid, power steering fluid, battery condition, alternator output, anti freeze strength, and gearbox oil level.

All this for less than £50.

Very happy

That's very useful to know, was it a special offer or is it normally that price?

Cheers

Is that on the Basingstoke Road past the old Reg Vardy??

Corin did mine this weekend but useful info for others esp if nationwide deal.

It was the Oxford Road one.

It's there bronze service, so should apply across the board.

I'm glad that you had a good experience, but after my previous experience and that of some others I would'nt even let 'Mr. Clutch' near my car.

Had a new clutch fitted at our local branch (believe it's a franchise) on one car and I was very happy too. They replaced a stripped stud damaged by a "motor engineer" who had replaced the clutch 13 months or previously (12 month guarantee).

Went back some years later with another car and the results were disasterous. Budget doesn't always equal value

I think it all depends the staff doing the work.

The guys at my local branch have been there for a number of years.

That is an unbelievably good price! Considering a decent oil costs half that......

To you, they probably got oil and filter for less than a tenner.

I guess that's the beauty of buying in bulk
