***AVOID AT ALL COSTS***
Here is a warning - never, ever use this company. They are nothing but crooks.

***They were the subject of a BBC Watchdog Report on July 19th 2017 - Google it for more information.***

My car arrived back after 3 days (don't believe the same day return headline on their homepage). I was quoted the following:

PERFORM: BRAKE SERVICE £115.08
RENEW: BRAKE FLUID £239.72
ENGINE FLUSH £77.28
AUXILIARY DRIVE BELT £272.47
FUEL TREATMENT £72.83

None of the above actually needed to be done. Servicing Stop tell the garage to add on items for which they get paid. They are nothing but a middle man. The garage owner who delivered my car back told me himself that the work was not necessary and they are asked to do it all the time by Servicing Stop.

DO NOT fall for the cheap service. If you decide to have the work carried out by them it will most probably be unnecessary and will cost you at least 4 times what it should.

Please DO NOT USE Servicing Stop and fall for their scam. You have been warned.

***Following advice from Trading Standards, if you have a complaint contact the Operations Manager MICHAEL NATHAN - michael. N at servicingstop.co.uk (please replace the 'at' with@) ******* *******. Servicing Stop do not use an Alternative Dispute Resolution service so the best advice if you get ripped off by them is to take them to the Small Claims Court***

Be VERY CAREFUL what you buy from this company. I was given the wrong items and they refused a refund (even though the items were boxed and unused). Instead they gave a credit note and wanted to take a 10% handling fee. I phoned head office and spoke to their store manager who were both extremely unhelpful. AVOID IF POSSIBLE!

Excellent service. Polite, on-time and they didn't even ask for a deposit up front.

Be very careful using this company. They will keep your deposit even with plenty of advance notice (even if they are able to re-hire the inflatable to someone else). Very poor service and we received a rude and semi-literate email from them when we asked if they could prove that they had sustained a loss on the day of hire.
