Default Service History...

Quick one...

What a rip off Change the oil, plugs and a few odds and sods £350..! If it wasnt for the fact the car has full HONDA service history, Id get a local garge to do it...

Just thinking, would it put you off of buying a car that didnt have dealer history?

one bonus though, FREE MOT bet they find something

You can get any car serviced at any garage and IF using geniune manufacturer parts ( you supply receipts ) the local manufacurer dealer HAS to uphold your warranty by law. You dont HAVE to use a manufacturer dealer for a service.

Wouldnt bother me where the history was showing as serviced as long as it was done properly and in a timely manner

have you checked the details of the work required for the service schedule you had done
350 would imply it was a major service not a first service there are many different service schedules all at different costs
