Cost of 12000 mile service for SP6

[snowy]

What are you guys paying for the 12000 mile service for SP6 engines including tappet adjustment?
at approved TVR garages

[_DeeJay_]

Mine cost about £900 at TVR Power IIRC.

There were some indies advertising for quite a bit less, but was glad I paid the extra given the service I was given (then and since).

Austec have a good price on their servicing page.

I have paid around £1,100, and I supplied my own oil. Although having seen the Austec prices, it's gonna be difficult to justify that again!.

Eeek, I only paid just over £600 for a big 24k service and tappet adjustment on the Cerbera, including a variety of bits and bobs too.

I wouldn't mind paying that bit extra for a TVR main dealer stamp as in some eyes the full dealer history adds value to the car, but over double just to keep their windows and floors polished is a bit extreme!

Jim,
12K TVR scheduled service (by TVR trained technicians, using genuine parts ) is £602 all in, tappetts £159 (only if they all need adjusting, less if they don't).

Do you supply a courtesy car, if so, I will book my Tam for its 12K and MOT for eary March.

[steveperformance]

A courtesy car is usually available, but gets booked up quickly...

Does it have to be an approved TVR garage? I've just been quoted £318 + VAT for a 24k mile service! This guy maybe an independant but he has a great reputation

6-8 L of oil = £70-80 ish at dealer prices, filter, consumables and labour = £100-£110, same as a 15k bmw service, supply your own oil and total cost is about £160.

[BliarOut]

996 24K service, £180.00 all in. So why the am I thinking of getting a Tuscan

[m12_nathan]

Because living your life is more important than servicing costs? *




















* Justifying his impending inspection 1 service which will no doubt be £800 ish.
