600LT service prices
Discussion
As with the above title, the car that I am considering shall be due its 2nd service in May; i was quoted just over £1500 for the 2 years service which seemed a bit strong after coming from super series...
Has any 600 owners undertaken this service yet or enquired from their Mac dealer how much this service shall cost?
It would be handy to see what other dealers are offering.
Seemingly the 3 year service drops back down to around £7-800 and then £2850 to extend the warranty which is all around the prices I expected.

I work for a main dealer and around £1500 for the second service is spot on. It will include an oil and filter change, cabin filter, air filter, brake fluid, wipers and key fob batteries. You could ask them not to replace the wiper blades if you feel that they're OK, which would save you around £75, same with the key fob batteries (but their cost is negligible anyway at around £4). Everything else should really be changed as per the guidelines, particularly as your car is still in warranty.
As the other commenter mentioned, you may have some success with haggling if you're going to your supplying dealer, but I'd be surprised if you got more than 5% off.

Does the 600LT have anything more than the 720S? My service was a little over £1K.As the other commenter mentioned, you may have some success with haggling if you're going to your supplying dealer, but I'd be surprised if you got more than 5% off.

Can’t comment on the 2nd year, but I had my 570s 3rd year done with warranty renewal and an MOT, the total cost was £3970.Has any 600 owners undertaken this service yet or enquired from their Mac dealer how much this service shall cost?

Sure I've read on here that there is no standard, dealer-wide pricing structure for Macs and therefore costs for the same service are different depending which dealer you visit.As the other commenter mentioned, you may have some success with haggling if you're going to your supplying dealer, but I'd be surprised if you got more than 5% off.
Pretty sure there was a thread on here where someone phoned around and received different pricing from different dealers without haggling.

That's correct in that different dealers around the country will have slightly different labour rates and a slightly different parts mark up. £1500 is spot on for the dealership I work at. Whilst there are small differences between dealerships, I wouldn't expect it to be significant, particularly if you factor in fuel or collection and delivery costs in getting your car to a dealership that may be further away just to save £100.Pretty sure there was a thread on here where someone phoned around and received different pricing from different dealers without haggling.

It has been offered to be undertaken as part of the sale but it is 6 months before it is due and unnecessarily bringing future services forward and screwing up timescales between 3rd service and extending the warranty; technically the car should not go any longer than 13months between services or any warranty claim may be scrutinised and possibly refused ( almost certainly wouldn't but small print blah blah blah )
It had already been serviced at 9mths old initially causing this issue and this exasperates the issue even further.
Will call a few other Mac dealers and get prices, and in the meantime sit on my hands and see if its still available the week before Christmas; if so make a cheeky offer on it and service it up here.
Thanks for input all.

The most expensive didn't include collection / delivery, the other two did. The difference between the cheapest and most expensive was over £200 - and although I wouldn't choose somewhere purely based on price, they're likely to do a better job anyway.

I've just been quoted £1795 from a main dealership for the 4th year service for my 600LT Spider. They said the 4th year service is a "big" service. Is this correct for 2024 prices ?As the other commenter mentioned, you may have some success with haggling if you're going to your supplying dealer, but I'd be surprised if you got more than 5% off.

Hi there
My 3rd year service on my 600 LT Spider was £950 with MC Manc
My 4th year service is due March, as it is 4th year Mclaren now offers discounts for vehicles older than four years, based on this as its a major with air filters other owners have been paying circa £1300 for this service.
In short if you budget £900 - £1500 per year servicing you will be on the money, most dealers do haggle and will give discount for been a member of McLarens owners club and cars older than four years also get cheaper rates.

Yes it is but that’s what was asked originally 5th year service, looks like it’s been changed to 4th year now lol.
4th year is air filters, cabin filter and brake fluid.
Manchester told me a brake fluid change was an additional £250 4th year is air filters, cabin filter and brake fluid.

on top of the £1580 4th year service (This was discounted to £1300).I had my brake fluid changed 2 months ago so didn't bother with getting it done as part of 4th year service anyway but everyone else seems to say that the 4th year includes brake fluid
