Just been quoted £850 for my 4 year service on my 595C from Thames Abarth main dealer .

Was just about to recommend Keith in that area! Very reasonable and total expert.

Only interested as I'm picking up a new 695 Competizione from Thames this week.

First time I've been excited about buying a new car in a very long time. Feels like Christmas when you are 8 years old, and I'm now in my 60s hehe

What are they supposed to be doing for £850 at only 4 years old?

Have you used Thames for your services during the warranty period, and what were they like?

Cheers, and good luck with finding a Specialist.

Apart from the usual engine oil and filter, it will be a plug change and maybe a change of gear oil.

Thanks, so the £400 odd 3 year servicing plan sounds a bargain but I presume that doesn't include consumables.
