I can't remember what make the filter was but it wasn't a genuine seat part. For the price they charge I'm having my oil changed more often so the non-genuine filter shouldn't cause a problem.

My oil requires VW 506 00 or better spec and I can't find anywhere that sells it for under £30

Sump on a Leon is 4.5L and the castrol edge 5W-40 is sold as 4L. I paid £45 for 4L, +£15 for the extra 1L needed, £7 for champion oil filter, so cost me £67 and fitted myself.

They cant be doing it at £28, even if they used cheap oil let alone Castrol Edge, dont garages charge on average about £40 p/h for labour ?

They did mine for £30.60 thats 4.5l castrol edge 5w30 VW 507 00 spec. Oil & filters in bulk will be a fraction of what you've paid. Like I said earlier they do it at a loss to get you through the door when they can find 'faults' with your car. I can recommend Huddersfield, been a few times and they never tried to sell me anything else

it is a loss leader as said, book it on the internet or print offf the 10% voucher to get this price.
The filter is a unipart one.

I watch mine getting done and everything is above board.

plus membership to buying groups too helps so they won't losing too much if any


couple of guys round here tried it with 99p mot's but catch was 'ANY' failure repairs are to be carried out on site or a retest fee of £65 is charged

me thinks they reckon they found a money tree

Nothing stopping you taking it for a 99p test and if/when it fails, sort it and take it somewhere else that does it for £30

Also worth mentioning that National may charge for undertray removal/refitting although they haven't charged me as yet. Was told it would be £10 so about £1 for each screw - suppose they have to try to make some money back in other ways. Even at so an oil & filter change for £40.60 is still cheaper than I can get the oil for
