My 2.5 year old car is due for an oil service about now, and I've been toying with the idea of bringing it to an independent workshop for the job, mainly for reasons of cost. But I was advised (by a PML sales rep) to service the car at PML, since they can also do a thorough check on the car at the same time and rectify any defective bits they find before the warranty runs out.
I got my car used, so I've never dealt with the PML workshop before. I'd like to know how much of what the sales rep said that I can take at face value, i.e. is their checking really thorough?
Apart from this, I've got some warranty issues with the car that I'd like them to look at anyway, so if I do the servicing elsewhere, I would still need to bring the car in to PML. Would the outside service void the warranty?
Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.
