“Stay away from this company it’s nothing but a scam because of lockdown like everyone else I have struggled to get my car in for MOT and Service . Even the garage where I bought the car were unable to help out. My wife came across this company and said it had good reviews she clearly looked at the wrong ones i was quoted £148.00 for MOT and Service the day came and my car was collected during the afternoon I was contacted and informed that the car had past its MOT also that the break fluid had been changed and the fuel system flushed and the engine also the work had already been done and the cost was £227.00 . Conveniently within the car was an invoice from the last Service and Mot and minus 80p they had simply looked at an old bill and invoiced me extra to make £227.00 out of me this will be the first and last these crooks get my money my advice STAY AWAY they definitely need investigating from the complaints i have seen.”

“DO NOT USE - overpriced, blackmailed in order to release car and then returned at 7.30 in the evening, with no warning. The garage even warned me not to use them again, said they have these issues with SS and their scams all the time”

“Hi all, please think twice before book any service with this company, is the worst service I´ve ever seen. For us is always compicated to leave the car for service for all our daily obligations, I had confirmation for service on 17th of september, waiting and waiting for someone to pick up the car and nobody turned up. The response was I´m sorry this will not happen again and bla bla bla. Booked again for today 1st of october, same issue, nobody came. E-mail reboking for 6th of october. I´m sorry but I really regret the day I decided to book with this company and I recommend everyone not to do it. Finally I booked now with a more serious company and I´m asking for my money back.”

“Used these a few times, every time after pickup we get a call that , brake fluid needs changing, or brakes are worn, or an oil surcharge, these are independent garages looking to make easy money, all these jobs I have refused and carried out myself,”

“DO NOT BOOK. This is a scam. The service isn't a service, its a check over of the car. They found work and quoted over 4 times the price of a local garage to do the work.”

“Booked and paid for car to be collected between 8-9am. Didn't bother to collect car at all. Eventually got through on phone after 1pm to be told they couldn't get a hold of the garage they were using & could get me another garage tomorrow MAYBE. Asked to cancel and for a refund to be told this would take 10 days! Told I could speak with the accounts team and would be transferred though.... Advisor hung up.”

“AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I had a terrible day yesterday. I had booked online for a full service and MOT. My car was collected on time and passed the MOT. I know this because I found out which garage it was at and called them for an update. Then a rude guy called Josh called me 2 hours later saying I needed work costing £977 plus VAT and £24 for specialist oil which I disputed and turned down extra work as car had passed and it was only advisory to have brake disc and pads on front done. I tried to pay so I could collect my car as I am a key worker in health care so needed my car back. I called and spent Over an hour holding and still no answer. It got to half 5 and I was panicking so I took a lift to the garage and requested my car back. They asked if I had paid and I truthfully told them no because I had no way of paying as no one had contacted me or sent me a link to pay. I asked the garage if I could pay them to have my car back and had to wait until past 6 o’clock before they let me pay them direct and take my car. I was not given any paperwork for my service or MOT. This is disgusting behaviour and really I would not recommend anyone go through these cowboys”

“At long last have done what I should of done months ago after booking an Interim service and MOT, complained about unnecessary work supposedly carried out and faults with the car when it was returned next day. Despite complaining wishy washy excuses were given. Contacted "Resolver" and they sent Emails to Service Stop but even they did not reply to them, I then with their guidance contacted the County Court and Servicing Stop have now been issued with a summons. It has been a worrying time but now I feel happier about the outcome as it will at least give SS a wake up call to stop them taking us for a ride and their dodgy garages. I know it is a daunting thing to do, but if we all stick by what we know, we can stop these sharp practices.”

“Avoid Avoid !!!! I was looking online for a better quote and came across this company. I was quoted £117 full service and £17 MOT . They sent me confirmation by the email and text with date & time . Which I thought was great , as they would collect and deliver taking out the stress . On the day they didn’t turn up I called number twice and no answer was on hold and never did get to speak to anyone . I found an email with the details of which garage it was meant to go to and called them . They were so rude and unhelpful. Telling me it’s my problem and they wouldn’t travel that far to collect my car . So I emailed ss and did get a reply asking if I would like to reschedule . Which I politely declined . Luckily I never handed any money over . Please use a local garage... Avoid these clowns”

“SCAMMERS! AVOID THEM AT ALL TIME They are ruthless greedy scammers. Back in July, I have booked a full service and MOT. I have only received booking email but no confirmation with garage name or time of collection. Tried to call and email them few times but no response. On the day of the booking, I get a call from the garage that someone will come to pick my car in 30 minutes. It was a surprise for me. However, I quickly cleared my car and kept all things ready. My car was picked up around 9:00 AM and then I get a call from Servicing Stop, from Gary at noon that my car passed MOT and has been serviced. Also, few things must be urgently done on the car which will cost me another £700.00 + vat. I was shocked and I did say that since my car passed MOT and I don’t think I will need those now. He was arrogant and pushy to force me to buy those services. Once I declined, he was unprofessional and rude, mentioned that not a good choice and I am putting myself and family into danger and they will not be responsible. I have asked him what is my final bill and he said ridiculous amount which was 60% more than the original agreed quote. I have asked him to provide me with a breakdown and explanation. He was defensive and mentioned my car need to use low ash oil for the engine which is by Government law, which cost me £ 28.80 extra + Environmental surcharge, Fluid top-up charge. Without any further debate, I have cleared the payment and my car was released. I have asked the garage about the use of low ash oil and apparently, there aren’t any Govermenrnment laws as such. I also found out that they quote customer 200% above for the work which isn’t even necessary. A pensioner in Croydon used their service for an old VW and he was invoiced for £1400.00 + vat which was 3 times more than the car and the car was working fine with 8 months remaining MOT. Without my consent, they also charged for £39.00 for a future booking. I had to call them again at least 10 times before I managed to get hold of someone to get a refund which was given back to me on the 8th day. I would recommend you all to approach your local garage for a quote at least there will be no hidden fee and it will be much cheaper.”

“AVOID!! AVOID! They aren't even registered with The Motor Ombudsman. This speaks volumes! They just took my money under loads of false pretext and didn't complete the work. Completely screwed up my car that costed me over £4k (engine rebuild). When complained and even damage confirmed by independent mechanics (from ACE-UK), Servicingstop just dragged their feet / didnt respond to emails for over a year with no action. I'm going to Citizen Advice Bureau now.”
