johnsons honda milton keynes, fixed price service £249...level two(?!) seems equivalent to a normal service according to the list, plugs changed, oil (shell helix), road test, various adjustments/ checks.... mot@ £39. strip down throttle body and clean out...(running much better now)@ £50.... free valet to perfection. no advisories. total cost £337.
the point for me is that i now know i can go pretty much anywhere, because if something has been done, it has been done by a competent mechanic, properly... as opposed to me mucking about with it, shouting a lot and expecting things to work. the cost may be high, but i've never had any problems.... they tried to sell me some "oil conditioner" whatever that may mean.... but a polite refusal meant they took it away again.
took the opportunity while i was there of looking at a GE (1.4ES)....will have to save my pennies!
update... fortron oil conditioner (£20 something from honda) available from britcar for £14.03 delivered. this internet might just catch on....
