I personally think that to make such a comment would be a waste of breath, once the car is in the workshop you have no control over who works on the car.

These comments today have got me thinking on what would be the best advice I could post, so here is what i would do personally if I was paying for others to service my car considering the $$$$$$ Dealers charge. For intermediate servicing i would probably use Ultra Tune. Then maybe consider using the dealer for major services only (every 40,000km), but if you were happy with the service you were getting stick with Ultra tune permanently.

The other thing many are not aware of is if you read the fine print in your service manual it recommends oil changes every 5,000km under severe conditions. Severe conditions for engines is stop start city driving and short trips. And don't forget your Auto Trans - service (change oil) once a year or every 20,000km, whichever comes first. Note that when you change Auto Trans oil you can only drain around 33% of the oil.
