I did notice this when flicking through the web site.

6.You only pay when the work has been completed. This is made to Tesco Autocentres by credit or debit card and we pay the garage. This helps to ensure that the garages carry out the work to our own high standards. All credit/debit cards are pre-authorised the day before your booking.

So who is doing the work for them?

Just looked at some prices
£45 for a code read
£73 for AC regas
£45 Drain cooling system and replace coolant

Thanks for the link Peter.

So has anyone on here signed up to NSN?

Graham

Had a look in the archives and I assume it will be No !

Hi Guys

So this looks like multi level marketing; two mouths need feeding between you and the customer.

I guess that it is a cheap way for Tesco to see if there is a viable business in car repairs, using NSN to test the water.

If there is money to be earnt, I guess they will be setting up their own dedicated sites.

Look and see how their other supermarket competitors react. Then wait to see how KwikFit and the other fast fits challenge.

See link here http://www.motortrader.com/latest-news/kwik-fit-launches-mot-delivery-collection-service/

A blood bath in the making. See the service prices tumble.

James.

roflmao........ NSN.... Doomed to failure before it's even begun then. I wondered who NSN were selling their "services" too, of late.
Service prices won't tumble due to the greed within NSN that overprices on every job!
