Have asked my dealer for a quote for the 2 year service on my GT-S which has done 9,500 miles. Quote is for nearly £1,700 but includes what they have described as the

"the additional 2 yearly items; auxiliary belts, PAS fluid, Coolant and Brake fluid"

It strikes me as unusual to change the aux belts every 2 years as well as PAS and coolant. Brake fluid I understand absorbs water and should therefore be changed but the others sound like a way of generating some extra revenue. Anyone heard this before or know if these are Maserati requirements or simply a dealer trying his luck?

Yes these are Maserati recommended in the standard two year service (otherwise these items would have to do 4 years)

Get a quote off Supercar hub; I got a main dealer quote of £900 for this service on a GT Even Maranellos quoted a very reasonable rate much less than £1700....

I'm in surrey and just picked my gts up last week, 10,000 miles service carried out at 9,000 if you have no joy i'll dig the receipt out and find out who done it as I'm sure that was circa £900-£1100 and had all those items done.

Thanks Mike, my dealer is looking at its pricing but if they can't come up with anything competitive will use one of the Supercar Hub dealers, which are significantly cheaper.
