is that a major service or low milage service? got to be carefully as major services have to be done by dealership to keep your warranty...

Not true.

As long as they are VAT reg and use genuine parts any garage can do it.

at 2 years on that mileage it would need oil and filter, air filter, pollen filter and brake fluid so £200 sounds reasonable :thumb:

You don't have to use genuine parts either, just parts of 'equivalent high quality'   :thumb:

I used a local independent for my first year service and it cost £78.00

I'm due for the second service soon at 13k so it'll be the same again with a brake fluid change and possibly spark plugs?

Dealerships are a licence to print money to be honest (the excessive labour rate pays for the shiny showrooms!)

yeah as above - just back from having my 2nd year service today at Research Nuneaton. only done 8,000 so all that was needed was oil/filter change and brake fluid.

total came to £166.
