Can anyone tell me what thye got for their TLC

I thought the TLC means the servicing is free. So depends which service it was in for to what they did, so if first oil service its going to be oil and oil filter, and the rest as per what is done in your service book. I think they check brakes etc on certain services, and if they need doing, these are extra cost items, as normal service charges dont cover brakes and clutch costs, they would always be extra to the service cost.

Never let the dealers wash your car, it is likely the trainee/tea maker that does it, or god forbid, sometimes they use a car wash. Yikes.


The tlc cost is a bargain, I am sure one oil service and inspection alone would cost that, not alone 3 years or 50k's worth of services. Plus if you are due to sell the car, is a buyer liley to chose a car with a few years worth of servicing for free included, or one that has none.
