Hello all, long time no post.
Just wondering about the forthcoming service for my CR-V and came across NSN www.nsn.co.uk/ . Has any one used this outfit and (without shaming etc) had good experiences?
Their pricing looks competitive and they collect etc.
Note they state that using them will not vaildate your warranty. Am wondering if this would still apply to my Honda used warranty which still has a few months to run.

I inputted (?) my postcode and registration number , and although it gave me a price it didn't say where the work would be done. No thanks.

Used warranties have different rules tha aren't covered by the eu rules on new warrantiesd . usually they say you have to have it serviced by them. Spend the money at the honda dealer so you're covered.

Just looked for our Aygo. MOT is £15 more than I paid at a local garage and the service is £90 more than I paid at the main dealer.

Indeed - £209 for a full Aygo service my main dealer did for £160, and £132 for an interim the dealer did for £113.

£200 for a full service on the 2.0 Focus - to be honest I can't remember how much it cost last time, but I admit that the idea of having it done without leaving the house is appealing. Like L'esc says though it would be nice to know where it's going.

Thanks for your replies. Think you're right about the used warranty. Maybe I'll try them on SWMBO's Micra when the time comes, then let them loose on the CR-V if it works out (and after the warranty expires).

No, their pricing defintely does not look competitive for a 2003 A4 1.9tdi.
'Interim Service' (oil & filter plus some checks) for £145? That's very expensive, especially given that the work would be done by an independent. My local independent would charge somewhere between £70 - £90 depending on the oil I wanted. Even Nationwise Autocentres would charge only £99.
Code read for £32.50? The last time I asked for a code read and reset, it took only 5 minutes. Not sure why that should cost £32.50.
Also, you can't actually make a 'confirmed' booking fully on line. Even after going through the whole process you would need to be contacted to arrange an actual date for the work. So, doesn't really save you any time.
As far as I can see, the company is acting as an agent and I'm not convinced about the garages being 'centrally controlled' or how stringently or regularly they themselves actually inspect garages.
