TootCompare.com Asks What Should You Get for the Cost of a Car Service

Jan. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- That is the advice from the motoring experts at TootCompare.com, the UK’s innovative new car servicing comparison site.

TootCompare.com is revolutionising the way that motorists book car services, by allowing them to browse independent and franchise garages in their area along with their various prices. But with TootCompare.com, users don’t just receive a great price; they guarantee to receive a number of checks and services, without encountering additional costs, so you can compare like for like on car servicing costs.

While the cost of an MOT is governed by law, and currently limited to a maximum price of £54.85, the cost of a car service can vary greatly from one car service to the next.

But one of the biggest problems that motorists have always encountered in shopping around for a yearly car service is establishing what the service should include. There are a number of reasons for this.

One of the main reasons is  there are tens of thousands garages in the UK, including independent mechanics and franchised dealers with garages running their own service schedule. Some refer to 15 to 30 check points around the car others mention more than 120 points. It’s a substantial difference; and brings into question the cost of additional work, as garages will charge extra for work considered outside the remit of their car service. Toot Compare has calculated there are somewhere in the region of 2,000 different service schedules available in the UK.

TootCompare.com tackled this problem by conducting a three month analysis of these schedules and coming up with just three service schedules which cover the majority of things covered in all these 2,000 services; so now for the first time the motorist can go to the garage and have a TootService done. This is a world first.

Each garage on TootCompare gives the motorist their price to do the chosen TootService. TootCompare can even help the customer to choose the right service for their needs.  It is all done on line and can be booked directly with the garage 24/7 through the TootBooking calendar.   challenge Thanks to this TootService checklist garages know exactly what is required of them, and customers know what they can expect for the price. They can also talk to the experts at TootAssist before agreeing to any additional work and the additional cost.

Like TootCompare.com, the TootAssist helpline is completely independent of any UK garage so the motorist’s best interests are always in mind.

Douglas Rotberg, CEO of TootCompare.com explains: “The aim of TootCompare.com was to demystify what has become a confusing arena for the motorists.  So now there is price transparency allowing the Motorists to see price, quality, feedback and service offered by the garage all in one place; allowing them to make an informed choice and book there and then with their chosen garage.  Not only there to save the motorist money; but also to make the process of choosing a quality car service as simple as possible.

“When motorists book a car service through TootCompare.com, they can be confident of precisely which check points will be included and they will receive signed documentation from the garage, detailing exactly which work and checks took place.”

Motorists can use TootCompare.com to search and compare garages around the UK which carry out a selection of three car service packages: the interim service, full service or major service.
