The "10 visits, pay for 7" pass is a season pass for the Self-Service Zone: you buy a package of ten visits up front but pay as for seven — so three visits are free and the cost of each hour at a bay drops by about 30%. It's the simplest way for a regular of the zone — a driver who does their own oil, brakes or seasonal tyre changes — to pay noticeably less for the same thing. Below we answer the most common questions: how the pass works, who it pays off for, how to use it when booking, and how it differs from a single hour.
How exactly does the 10-for-7 pass work?
The principle is dead simple: instead of paying for each visit separately, you buy a package of ten visits to the Self-Service Zone and pay for seven. Three visits come free, so the effective price of one visit falls by roughly 30%. We record the pass to your account — on each subsequent visit we simply deduct one visit until you've used the whole package.
3 visits free = about 30% cheaper
The pass doesn't change what you do at the bay — you get the same lift, the same equipment and the same amount of time. Only the bill changes: the tenth visit works out as if you'd paid for seven.
Who does the pass pay off for?
The pass is an option for those who come back to the zone regularly. If you service your car yourself or have several cars in the family, ten visits add up faster than you'd think.
- The DIY owner — oil, filters, pads, fluids, seasonal tyre changes; each of these jobs is a separate visit at a bay.
- A family or group of friends with several cars — the pass can be used across different vehicles, so the package runs down even faster.
- The driver of an older car that needs more frequent tinkering — you do small repairs and checks yourself, cheaper than paying for labour.
- Someone just starting out — you take the package, get into the rhythm of servicing your own car, and pay less than for single hours right away.
Not sure if it's for you?
If you plan even a few visits over the season — tyre changes in spring and autumn, oil, brakes — the pass almost always works out cheaper than single visits. For a one-off, occasional visit a regular hour at a bay is enough.
How much can you really save?
With three free visits out of ten, the saving is about 30% on the bay cost. On top of that comes what the Zone itself gives: working with your own hands, you pay neither for labour nor a mark-up on parts, and that's usually the biggest item on a workshop bill. The pass simply lowers the cost of the bay as well. We've laid out exactly how much you save on simple jobs in a separate post: how much you'll save doing the service yourself.
How do you use the pass when booking?
The pass doesn't complicate anything. You book a bay in the Zone as always — online, choosing a slot — and when settling the visit you tick "Pay with pass". The system deducts one visit from your package, and that's it. You also see how many visits are left, so you know when to think about the next pass.
- Buy a pass for the Self-Service Zone (once, up front for a package of 10 visits).
- Book a slot at a bay with a lift online, as for a normal visit.
- When settling up, choose "Pay with pass" — we'll deduct one visit.
- Do your thing at the bay; after the visit you see how many visits are left in the package.
How does the pass differ from a single hour?
In substance, not at all — you get the same bay with a lift, lighting and tools. The difference is purely in price and convenience: with a pass you pay once, up front, cheaper per visit, and you don't settle each visit separately. If you don't yet know what working in the zone looks like, start with the post what the self-service zone is and how to use it, and you'll find bay details and prices on the Self-Service Zone service page.

Order a pass and pay less at the Zone
10 visits for the price of 7 — about 30% cheaper on every visit to the Self-Service Zone.
What is the "10 visits, pay for 7" pass?
You buy a package of ten visits to the Self-Service Zone up front but pay as for seven. Three visits are free, so the cost of one visit falls by about 30%.
Does the pass have any limits on the type of work?
No — at the bay you do what you need: oil, brakes, tyres, small repairs. The pass changes only the price of the visit, not the scope of what you can do.
Can I use the pass on several different cars?
Yes. The package is tied to you, not to one car, so you can deduct visits while working on different cars — your own or the family's.
How do I settle a visit with the pass?
You book a bay online as usual, and when settling up you choose the "Pay with pass" option. We deduct one visit from the package and show how many are left.
When does the pass not pay off?
For a one-off, occasional visit — then a regular hour at a bay is enough. The pass pays for itself when you plan several visits over the season.
