servicing

[vwfiend]

Buy a stamp mate, they are about. Plus noone really cares about dealer history, at the end of the day, servicing a car isn't a mean feat, dealers are slacker IMO than the guy repairing cars off his own back gaining work only through reputation and recommendation. It's good, don't get me wrong but it shows that someone spent more money on servicing than the shrewder man for no reward, not that it's a good car. Your only doing it now for the next owner who will think of it as a 10+ year old car. The same as people who use seat covers....... Why preserve it for someone else??

I love it when people talk like they have a choice..... You say nein when you really mean ja.....      I enjoy a chase and a struggle......

So So true my mate is a mechanic and he just visually checks most things and hasn't checked things before because they work on a bonus scheme where if he does it in a quicker time than allocated etc etc he earns money the only way to save a lot of time is to miss bits out.. My other mate had a service done a ford a year or so ago and they were spose to have done a brake fluid change and the car came back exactly the same.. If you service yourself you can guarantee you have checked all you want to check and changed what you want to change..

Plus you can service yourself at the same time.....
