I used ServicingStop once. They collect your car from work, screw it up and return it. Had to take them to small claims court to get my money back plus cost of repairs.Comment

Originally posted by Gumbo Robot View PostI can't think of anything I'd like to spend my money on less than car repairs. Added to that the garage is always 20 miles in the wrong direction from where I need to be & dropping off / pick up times aren't compatible with office hours.
So...
In this day and age, doesn't anyone (reputable) provide a service where someone comes to your house, takes your car away, fixes it and brings it back?
And if not, why not?
Yes. MyCarNeedsA.com - Compare Car Service & MOT Deals
Enter your details and whether you want garages that offer a collection or drop off service.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!
