Running in service costs on M5

[mofflavfx]

Chaps,

Just booked my car in for its 1200 mile service.
Im bit shocked by the price I have just been quoted.
I know some folk on here have had this service included,
I'd be grateful to hear how much others have paid for this.

If its in line with what other have paid I'll bite my lip, but if not
I will happy to name and shame the dealer who has just quoted me what I consider to be a massive amount for an oil change and minimal labour of less than an hour and half.

Thanks in advance.

Well the first figure I was quoted was over £500 !!!!

Crazy ...

Thanks for this Scherm, I have no intention of paying them 'list' or what seems to be made up on the spot pricing. I didnt do that when I did the deal to get one so i'm not going to start now...

thanks again and happy new year !

It's only a 24 month lease. Not sure if a service pack is value or not. Can anyone advise please ?
I'm likely to do about 20k over two years.

Thanks

So, the saga continues....

Ive been quoted, 527inc VAT
507inc VAT
250inc VAT

How on earth can prices vary by more that 50 %

The £250 service is at a dealership that is only 40 miles away from the most expensive one.

Its crazy really, because Im likely to take my new car to the cheaper dealer, and then guess who im going to think about buying my next car from.....

Not the ultimate driving experience.

So North Oxford came back to me with a new price of £308

Tring Service team will not match the price.

I have written to the sales team asking them if they'd like to keep me as a customer, will wait to hear back...

Yawn....

[mofflavfx]

Good news, Tring finally matched the Oxford price.

[mofflavfx]

Yup mistake on their part.

These are the actual costs.

Standard scope £22
Running in check £88
Oil filter set £19.20
Engine oil £134.30
Differential oil £21.86

Total £285.36
Including VAT £342.43

But they matched the £308 quoted by North Oxford.

In all honesty Im not fussed about them making a few quid on oil, what I am fussed about is, and frankly annoyed by is being charged 200quid over the odds, or least the 1st quote was that.

Its been sorted now.

So less whinging about a couple of hundred quid and more about what a great car the m5 is. Just been out for a drive now, it does go sideways in the wet... ;-0
