Re: Service Cost and Alternatives (hikennys)
The independent was up in Southport, I’ve never used them before and was just basically seeking a comparison. Looking at the difference I may be tempted. I asked about service cost, he said a standard would be about £190, plus about £50 to fit a new filter.<p>I think the charge still exists though I haven't paid it recently. My S80 is a company leased car so I think everything is included, and I live close enough to the dealer to allow them to collect and drop off. I seem to recall the charge was for "insurance", but if you pro-rata this up to an annual rate (being generous and assuming a 5-day working week), this equates to nearly £3k! <p>I guess the best thing to do is go back to the dealer and ask if this is their best price. Before I do this, I was just wondering if everyone else was paying this much for the 3 year diesel service?<br>
