We have been using engine flush for about 12 years from Wurth, Unipart, Wynn's, Forte ect. We did stop for a while but after quite a few services when the oil looked just as black we soon went back to using it and have NEVER had any complaints from a customer, many expect us to use it We only stock the flush, petrol and diesel additive. We put an additive in the tank, if customers question this, then yes we will let them have it FOC We NEVER fit or use anything that is not beneficial to the customer and the vehicle You also have to look at the bigger picture. The "Good Garage Scheme" is not just about using a flush or additive, many potential customers are Googling the Good Garage Scheme because there are looking for a reliable garage to fit Tyres, Exhausts, Suspension, Wheel bearings, Diagnostics, Engine replacements, Headgaskets, MOT, MOT repairs, Gearboxes (need i go on). This is were the scheme comes into its own How many garages use a 5w40 fully synthetic oil at £7.50 a Lr when a 10w40 at £3:50 a Lr will do just as well........is this not overcharging by stealth?. You tell your customer the 5w40 fully synthetic is better for their engine, (only because a rep has told you) non of us are oil technology experts Peter
