Service....

Wolves 75 · 5th September 2009, 20:58

Just been quoted £440 for a complete service by an ex Rover dealer, this includes all filters, oils including auto box and a T4 session, all original parts used, seems a bit steep to me, any thoughts welcome..

Also I want my total closure (windows) activating, do we have any T4's nearby, but not with dealer prices....

Regards
Lyndon

That's very expensive

Should be about half that price

That's what I thought, but as the snotty man said, ohhh there are not many T4's about now, and when he said I could have a new Kia for the day as a courtesy car, that's when I felt he really took the wee wee and left...

Have you tried Lates (http://www.lates600.com/) who are near Rugby, or Austin garages (http://www.austingarages.co.uk/) in Burton upon Trent?

Thats a silly price! The last service i had was at a mgr garage, they replaced all oils and filters and plugged it into a t4 to check and delete some fault codes. all in all they charged me £180 plus they gave me £20 off because i had to wait.

i got genuine parts of ebay ie fuel /oil/air/pollen filters for £100. took to local garage charged me £70 which inc oil and fitting 2 front new acutaters. £440 is way too much. this was for a diesel

I know that times are hard, but to charge double is not good at all, would never go to them again

Wolves 75 · 6th September 2009, 19:23

Many thanks for the reply's, will give Lates a ring in the morning
