Hi all,

Usually get my services at Lookers Birmingham and pay roughly £200.

Am currently staying in Sussex so got a quote from Eastbourne Vauxhall who quoted £460!!

From what I've read the 8th service is just air filter/oil change and replacing key fob battery-am I missing something here or are they just rip off merchants?

Sounds like pulling your pants down lol. How much!!!!

That's high, as this is the 8th one the Amp is out of the Voltec Warranty I think, I believe it expires on the 8th anniversary of the original registration. Ask a Local Hevra garage to quote

I just questioned a quote for a 3 year service eplan for years 6, 7 and 8, which was much more expensive than the previous three years. Answer was

"Your first 3 services were for a 3rd, 4th and 5th service, essentially two small services and one large. We have now quoted for years 6, 7+ 8 so two large services and one small."

Arnold Clark, Stretford, Manchester, 23/7/20
8th Service £136.80
Oil8 £34.65
Oil Filter £4.02
Pollen Filter £15.97
Air Filter £48.02
DRN Plug Gasket £5.65
Screen Wash Bucket £0.37
Labour £171.45
VAT £47.82

Grand Total £286.91

If anyone is interested they suggested spark plugs needed changing every 4 years £25 each.
They now realise they didn't change the HV Coolant Fluid at fifth service £300.
Also brake fluid should be changed every 2 years £100

So basically I save d £500 that day.
