How much should I expect a fulls service to cost at a TVR dealer?

not time for it yet just curious as to how many pennies I need to save?

It'll be cheaper with a good independent Jessica. Not sure which ones are near you in Manchester.

You're in danger of getting over optimistic if a load of "mine was only £500" replies come in.

Even among main dealers it varies considerably - ring around to get an idea, but do consider an independent unless you're handcuffed by a warranty.

My 60K Service, MOT and replacing Two rocker cover gaskets has just come to £1094

Don't know if there was any other work done that, they haven't told me of.

Will be picking it up tomorrow.

Will post tomorrow on 60k service costs if I recover.

You not had it serviced yet Jessica? Shame on you! Thought you would have done way more than 6000 miles since you got it.

I had my Chimaera serviced twice at Christopher Neil's. Both times came in about the £500 mark for the service alone.

I have always been very pleased with their work although the courtesy cars are a bit naff (Toyota Avensis etc...)

Will defo be taking the Tuscan there.

My 6k service at a main TVR dealer was £428 inc VAT which I thought was ok. I asked in advance what it would cost and it came in spot on.

I'd personally rather pay a bit extra to have a main dealer stamp in my service book.

CAn't beleive they followed the TVR service schedule for that price.... What did they do just filters/plugs/oil.. It is a lot more involved than that.
