Mot and service

[Jbryan18]

Wanting to get my car mot’d and serviced just wondered if anyone can help. It’s going to cost me £179 but was hoping someone could shed some light on how to save a bit of money. Been trying to find a discount code but with no look.  Thanks in andvance for your time, James 🙂

Try here:

It will give prices from dealers in your area and there can sometimes be quite a variation in price for the same service.  My local Ford dealer is "independent" and will price match other quotes though as they're cheaper than my village garage I've not needed to try this. I've also heard of people obtaining quotes for service at Halfords and using that to get their dealer to price match.  In this case it states that Ford parts will be used so ought to be apples-to-apples.

The place that Fits things Kwikly offers MoT tests for £25.

Having said all that £179 for service and MoT is a fair price.  I've just had a 5 year service, without MoT, on my Focus for £167.  The Ford roadside assistance that you get when the car is serviced by Ford makes it very good value, I think.
