I just knew someone would make this comment rather than accept it as an option over a main dealer or specialist MB site.

Commercially dealers & specialists buy a limited amount of oil from the suppliers and as such have high prices they pass on to their customers.

F1 have 59 sites and like Halfords (who charge £70) have a bulk buy price which would be considerably less than the above. They also have a higher throughput of vehicles and coupled with their bulk buy prices this makes them ultra competitive.

Do you buy tyres from main dealers or go to a discount tyre centre? Do you get the same product at lower price or is it a lesser product?

And before you ask I don't work for F1 Autocentres or Halfords just been in Sales & Marketing a long time
