Just got back from stealers who have just relieved me of £107 for a brake fluid change (2 years) nearly £100 labour for 1 hours work, I waited for it to be done and it also got a wash in that time not that it was dirty anyway, £5.83 for the fluid. They chose to add on a Service Standard Scope £22 plus Vat. This covered a safety check, when questioned they said every visit the car gets a standard service, service manual says nothing of this, things must be getting tight with service departments. One bit of good news @19,500 mls tyres are still good minimum rear 4mm (Michelins RFT) but I did not have to pay £22 for someone to tell me that ! One thing I would suggest to others is to get some jobs done together instead of separate visits raking up the standard service charge. I paid £240 for Oil service and microfilter in November 08, could have linked the jobs together and saved £22 plus Vat. Who says up North is cheaper !
to stealers.
