Just seen this ... may be of interest:

Shell Car Servicing Network

You plug in your car's registration, and it comes back with a list of quotes from local dealers for minor service / major service / MOT. If you want you can then click a button to book. Says it's intended for vehicles 3 years and older that are out of their warranty period.

Obviously it's trying to rustle up routine servicing work for garages who are linked to Shell. From a quick play with the website, that looks like:

  • Ford
  • Vauxhall
  • Honda
  • Mini
  • BMW
  • Mitsubishi
  • Suzuki
  • VW
For others (M-B for example!) it will give you quotes from 'other franchises' who have specified that they can provide servicing for your make of car. Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Bentley are not covered! :D

Quite interesting to see the variation locally. I tried it for our Audi and got 'major service' quotes ranging from £160 (Vauxhall dealer) to £249 (Honda dealer). MOT prices went from £35 (Vauxhall again) to £54.85 (BMW).
 
I got this back.. ?

Sorry, there are no MERCEDES-BENZ dealerships participating in the Shell Car Servicing Network nearby
 
Yup, click on the 'other franchises' option. You will then get quotes from other main dealers in the area who have said they can service M-B cars.
