3200 servicing costs

[craigw]

anyone know anywhere good for servicing? 30k mile service (I've already done cambelts & full service last year), HR owen reckon £1300+vat which I thought was slightly steep.

That for an A service (normal 12.5k) or a belts service?

Sounds about right for belts - if it's standard then it sounds rather high. Tried any other main dealers - sure Maranellos quoted me a lower figure the other day when I enquired...

Failing that Verdi might be worth a call?

yup maranello cheaper, dick lovett cardiff coupled with an overnight stay cheaper again! thx mate.

I might be mistaken, Craig, but I'm sure Dick Lovett's in Swindon will pick up the car for you and return it, although I don't know if there's a charge for doing so.

They offered that to me when I was down there and I'm 125 miles away - don't know how far you are from the land of the roundabouts?

My car's due to have a trim fitted (the bit above the number plate) as it was chipped when I picked the car up and they said there's a strong chance I can borrow a 4200 while it's being done.

So, another couple of choices there for you.

Daz, YHM, Bad Loser, thx. I still have an ongoing "debate" with dick Lovett swindon so won't use them, but thx.

Intersting that the franchises are all different prices - I figured there would be a set cost for an A or B service...
