Hi there,
Just registered, hello all
. I've a 2004 1.4 SE 5-dr which I've had since 2006 (20,00 miles ish), now at 75,000 miles though with much rarer usage than it used to be. I've not been taking the car to Honda dealers for ages since it's only worth about £2000 anyway. Instead, I take it to what seems like a pretty good local place each year and get the service and MOT done at once.
The service always seems to still be kind of expensive -- around £300 each time at least, a bit more when tyres are involved. I wondered if there are any things I can avoid having done, things I can request/questions I can ask to reduce this. I'd like to keep the service book tidy, but I'm also planning to more or less run the car into the ground eventually and would like it to be as cheap as possible to do so.
Thanks for any advice you can give. I'm one of those people who can't have any confidence a garage isn't screwing them because I know very little
.
Cheers
J
