The Video That Started It All
"You're Getting
Ripped Off"
Jay broke down exactly how SM Motoring delivers a full interim service for £99 — oil, filters, brakes, diagnostics, the lot. Bulk buying, lean overheads, no dealership debt. The numbers speak for themselves.
@jaygarsy This is really gonna annoy some people but when I have someone leave my garage because they believe it's actually impossible to service a car for £99 then I have to put the evidence out there that it's not impossible at all once a breakdown of costs is put in front of you! It's just me and my apprentice James giving people an honest and fair price for our services! The most you would ever pay for a service off us is £129 and that's if you have a car that takes a specialist oil. We only charge £50 an hour labour for any other work which is also the cheapest labour rate in the area! We're not out to rip anyone off or make anything up, we're just here to be an honest, transparent business that gives people a fair price on work!

How We Keep
It £99
We're not cutting corners. We're cutting overhead. Here's why our model works — and why dealerships don't want you to see it.
Bulk Oil Purchasing
200-litre drums at trade rates. Oil cost per vehicle: around £13.
Lean Overheads
No showroom. No finance repayments. Just a fully equipped workshop.
Volume & Efficiency
Streamlined workflow. More vehicles per day. Lower cost passed to you.
No Dealership Debt
No business loans. No premises finance. Just parts and graft.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden extras. You know the price before we lift the bonnet.
A Note on Oil Specification
Our standard service includes up to 5 litres of 5W-30 ACEA C3 fully synthetic oil — the correct specification for the vast majority of petrol and diesel engines on UK roads.
Where your vehicle requires an alternative viscosity or manufacturer-approved specialist oil, a £30 surcharge applies. We always confirm this with you before any work begins — no surprises.
All oils meet or exceed manufacturer specification for your vehicle.
