Bah Humbug

Seems a bit steep, 1 year old car, 9000 miles, no irregularities in the service and £309 !

I'm sure the last ones services were cheaper

Yup, exactly the same at Edinburgh OPC, but with PCGB discount came to £277.

BUT a car < 9000 miles only needs an annual check, and not a full service, which can be done for £80 + VAT (doesn't include an oil change, but you can then do that yourself and you still retain FPSH!)

As I'm having done in 3 weeks time. Just hope the brakes aren't worn or rusty from all that track use and standing in the rain!

You can bet that GV will mention it!
Perhaps get a loan of Greigs pristine 18" wheels for the 'day of service', as they will pick up on the tyre scrubbing as well.

You getting the Annual maintanance service then Alan, (£106 inc VAT), to tell you that you need to spend another £700 on new discs and pads allround!
