They’re doing a £24.95 deal where you get a 16-point winter check, a solution to go on the windscreen for winter rain and something else or other. Being a single lady, I don’t want to be taken advantage of and I don’t know if this is a good deal or not. Can anyone help please? It’s things like power steering top-ups, brake fluid checks, tyres and all sorts they’re doing.

The 16 point check will be relativally simple, they do not look too "in-depth".
If you had some car knowledge, then I would say give it a miss as you could do the checks yourself.
However, after what you have said I would have it done, at least then you will be reassured that your fluids etc have been checked for winter.

It depends on what exactly they are going to do. If they are going to put solution in your windscreen washer bottle and check your brakes work and tires are road worthy then its not worth it. Do it yourself.
Whats does a 16 point check involve?
If you can't then its best you pay them and get them to check it.
Overall its seems an OK price. Its basically peace of mind for 25 quid.

You should do it if you're not into popping the hood or crawling under the car.
Just remember, if they "discover" some expensive needed repair work, get a second opinion from someone you trust, or another mechanic, and don't tell him what to look for, because he will no doubt agree to get the job.

this is a fair deal, but at best it is a gimmick just to get you to bring in your car .but if they try to sell you something or point out a problem to you, always get a 2nd opinion before you say yes to fix it. Most places like this put the inept kids looking for work on your car,
good luck

Sounds like a good deal to me, just make sure that they have a check list, and that they give you a copy of it.

It's not bad for the checks as they are about half and hours work
