Hi All,

Would really appreciate some advice / guidance on the approx costs of 2 year service?

Is main dealer the best option and justify the premium over an independent in order to retain the value on resale?
Am I going to get any benefit at all if selling to trade / private?

Or would a good Independent be able to achieve the same / better level of service but at lower cost?
What would the implications of an Independent Service History be at re-sale time in later years?

The car has only 1300 miles recorded and I am based in Cheshire - so any options / comments would also be really welcome

Cheers for the positive response and good advice - and apologies for the infrequent posting!

Anyway you may infer this was also my bias towards main agents and so far been quoted 1476 GBP from 1 source located in Leeds.

Will also follow up the suggestion with service the car - and see if any significant variation on this quote or other options closer to my home.

(The source in Leeds was also the supplying dealer when I purchased the car so hope that means I am getting some preferential treatment! Guess I will be able to find out soon)

Thats very interesting....was assured by the Specialist Service Manager that it was "his best price" and some 32% less than the offical price.

No mention of covered delivery etc - but to be honest I would not expect that over that distance but something to think about if there are options closer to home.

Would you mind to define the price range you were quoted - and assume this was not based on any previous history of buying cars from them or using their service facilities?

Appreciate the heads up and just want to ensure I am comparing "apples with apples"

btw > still waiting for main agent contact from servicethe car.com but up to 3 posts now! (need to have a lie down :-)
