Time for a service?

[philkerman]

Just looking at doing a mini service and noticed that eurocarparts.com are offering 30% off filters, and 20% of parts.

Around my area even without the discounts they're cheapest, so with the discounts it almost seems stupid not to do the lot, free delivery to mainland UK too.

Codes are

30% off Filters and Brakes - 30NOW
20% off all car parts - PARTS20CC
15% off clutes/Flywheels/solid conversion kits - CLUTCH15

Just so we're clear, I'm not affiliated with them at all, they're just the cheapest place for me to obtain what I need, most of the time.

sounds good to me, i just done a full service on my car...cost £55 for all filters and oil.

unipart were cheapest for me

Before I moved down south I used Unipart, wasn't even aware we had one around this area, but we do, I just checked.

Incidentally though, they're more expensive for Peugeot Parts, but cheaper for Ford bits (without factoring in Discounts).

Oil, Air, Fuel & Pollen for 407 1.6HDI £33 all in, can't grumble. The correct/recommended oil for these is becoming hard to source!

i found it wierd myself that unipart in darlington quoted me a more expensive price then the one located in byker, newcastle...even for the same parts...i asked the guy in newcastle why they are cheaper and his best guess was that the darlington branch was quieter than the newcastle so newcastle get more sales and more profit so they can reduce prices more...oh well...

tbh i got my 307's clutch from eurocarparts cant complain...quality goods...and if the prices drop within 7 days of purchase you can get difference back...

this is the same for other companies such as the dixon group (currys, pc world, the link (only 1 branch left), dixons)

It's rather annoying because parts are consistently cheaper up north than they are down here so I try and save as much of the work as possible until I get to my dads on a visit, that does sometimes mean that I'm working on the car when I should be visiting. At least they know where to find me!

Euro seem to the only the place I can get the proper bosch fuel filter from too for a reasonable price!

My bank gives me a similar feature with Purchases on my Debit Card, in that if it's cheaper within 30 days or Purchase they'll refund the difference. I've used it a few times now!

if you or any other member needs parts and finds them well cheaper up north...let me know and ill get them and send them down for you. mind you after buying it and paying postage you might have been better to go local but the offer is there.
