   Kwik Fit employees (the offspring of the Halfordians; Halford's Employees) are the most money grabbing and mentally retarded people on this planet, they have no idea what they are doing, and normally the only option is to replace it - and what a surprise it's expensive.

   do it yourself man its so easy i think servicing is the biggest rip off ever you should go down ur local motor factors mostly in industrial estates dont go halfords the parts are more expensive and less quality there i find you prob spend max 50 quid on all the parts including oil and max spend a day but atleast your know everything has been done and been done properly
