Servicing Stop

Dont pay them, block pay assist from taking any money from your bank or just leave it empty lol. Get it all for free. Debt collectors dont purchase their debts if you dont want to be out of pocket lmao.

I paid for a full service with Servicing stop which turned out to be a complete rip off. I was quoted approx £750 for repairs and parts to fit new plugs and an ignition coil, which they said was needed. There was also some other minor work included. I refused their quote and went elsewhere. The other mechanic (Very reputable) took a look at the car and concluded (Correctly) that all that was needed was new spark plugs. A bill for £70 was paid for fitting at home and the car is perfect. BEWARE, this company will quote you stupid prices for parts and labour and will even tell you that unnecessary work is required. AVOID at all costs.

Shocking experience with Servicing Stop. Avoid at all cost! When booking my Mazda in for a Full Service I made clear, in writing, that Specialist Oil was required. On receiving the car back I asked the garage if this had been done and they said no. On checking the oil level, they had overfilled it, well beyond the maximum mark, so I had to take it back to the garage for them to empty out some of the oil.

I tried many times to phone Servicing Stop all I got was an answerphone – it is completely impossible to speak with anyone, and although I sent at least four emails requesting them to phone me, this was ignored. No apology was given by the garage, or by Servicing Stop. It left me feeling if such a basic matter such as the oil was carelessly done, what else had they not bothered about. I would never use them again and if you look at the volume of negative reviews you would be wise not to as well.

Wish I could review without having to waste one star.

Booked a full service and I was told I had to pay extra £36 to flush my engine. Who does a full service without flushing the engines?
On top of that I was made to acquire 42mins in telephone bill to a premium number by putting me on hold only to tell me that they are not taking MOT only bookings which could have been avoided if that info was made available on their website.

Do not use this company! This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had when getting my car serviced.

It seemed like I was booking a cheap service but after my car arrived at the garage I was told that in order to sign my service book as having had a full service I would have to pay for extras including specialist oil and brake fluid. They wanted me to pay £400 in total just to service my fiat 500, this is considerably more than I have ever paid at the actual fiat garage.
I think they saw that I am a fiat 500 driver and a female and thought they could rip me off.

And on top of this when I declined the extra work, they stopped answering my phone calls and hung up the phone when I got to the front of the queue. They ended up not returning my car until the following day even though I had told them I urgently needed my car for work and I ended up having to cancel important work meetings.
Absolutely appalling service and I will definitely not be using them again!

I booked the full service and MOT together. They gave me a MOT Fail first. I certainly did not want to buy your service to get a MOT fail. Why didn't do the service first? Very disappointing service!

Never use this platform!

Giving one star because zero isn't an option. They're thieves, they will get your car picked and then will mention fine print because yours is diesel/ULEZ car or any BS excuse to rob money off you. They'll have a reason to rip you off. Also they will list down issues that your car has and will ask extortionate amount of money to fix them. Do yourself a favour and don't book them.

I have used servicing stop in the past and have had fine experiences

I used in June this year.
Firstly they were two hours late collecting the car despite confirming twice by phone. The man who came to collect said he wasn't told a time. Then they returned my car with a crack in the windscreen. They left my car in a no parking zone with no warning they were returning the car and I was at work, despite me telling them via phone not to park it there risking a huge fine. I have called >10 times and sent 6 complaint emails with no response. Awful.

Have had an atrocious time trying to get my car repaired. Spent over £3500 in advance and waited 4 MONTHS for my car to not be repaired. They never answer the phone or emails.
Quick enough to charge you, then never do the work and leave it for an independent garage to do properly the first time.
Never use them.

Was late picking my car up took my car in the morning was due to be returned between 4 pm and 6 pm it is now 19.35 having just come off the phone to the police to report my car stolen no contact from the company unable to contact them through any phone call. Biggest scammers. Read the reviews on site Jabber four pages of horrendous reviews the company is a joke how is this company is still being able to run from as far as 2016 this company has been receiving dreadful reviews do not under any circumstances book a service with this company

The worst service I ever received. A complete day late collecting the car as the customer ahead of me had refused to return the replacement car.due to him being scammed. When the garage did come and collect they were advising me not to go with this company as it had brought shame to the company with there problems. The full service is nothing but a oil change. Then they phone you up and tell you you need a list of things doing that you don't including telling you need to pay extra to have filters and brake fluid and extra priced oil.which I presumed was part of the service. Which cost me nearly 200pounds.please be warned it is a scam and all the parts you could get and fit for a quarter of the price on ebay

Booked with them well in advance for an MOT and Service. Was contacted the day before the MOT and Service was due to be told the local dealer no longer does this service for them. When did this happen, I asked?
Bull$#*! reply's covering their tracks.
Totally let down by them and will not recommend them to anyone.
Glad I did not pay in advance!

I've used this company for the past few years, second time I was mostly shocked with the service! They were late with dropping of my car as usual - kept it for the weekend when the car was collected on Friday morning and it should be done the same day.
I was asked to pay 1200 for a full service for a Fiat 500! I refused therefore cost was reduced to 800.
After getting my car back I have noticed that my Service book is missing. I was fighting to get it back for further 2 moths. I am afraid the garage lost it and I was sent a new book with no other history than the one done by the scam ServicingStop company. Please be aware and look for a local garage. This year my full service and MOT cost me 200 in total. This is the cost for servicing and mot on a small car. Be careful of scams companies like this one!

I'm a woman, who doesn't know much about cars. Had my car serviced with The Garage at Shurlock Road as I'm a carer working in the area. Now I've just had my MOT done with them and I'm £750 out of pocket.
They kept my car for 10 days, saying there's rust and brakes and exhaust issue. Communication was poor but I'm at their whim as they failed my MOT and I had to agree to fix it as I need my car for work.
Joke is… it got returned to me today with a headlight not working and rear reverse light not working.
Service Stop - maybe do background checks on your garages before sending us to them!

Very terrible service. Unbelievably expensive, loads of hidden charges. After paying the service/labour charge of £97 upfront, when car got to the garage and they then asked for another £450. I asked them what the £97 paid covered and details of the additional £450. No concrete and clear response than ‘‘you should have been made aware there may extra costs''
When I declined to go ahead with the service and asked for my refund, I was told the £97 is gone and will need to pay £46 to release the car even if I no longer want to go ahead with the service.
Honestly, have no choice so I paid to release my car. Besides, lost complete confidence in this company/garage. Complete scamming and horrifying experience.

Absolute scam, booked car for service and MOT over 2 months ago, and had to keep on chasing tpo confirm it was ok to collect. Called this morning, day before due for collection, and I was told the garage the normally use near me didnt work with them anymore. What an absolute bunch of losers, totally unprofessional. Would give ZERO starts if i could. Good job I didnt pay upfront, would probably have stolen my money.
Stay away, will report to trading standards.

Do not use. These people are scammers. Your vehicle will be held to ransom till you pay their enormous and spurious charges. Don't be fooled bythe cheap opening price. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. And in this case... it is.
