We’re you happy with that price? How long did it take?
Not sure I had any option . They needed servicing . Time wise , no idea - the ETron was collected and returned , I left the jag .
Surely as they are expensive cars , you’d want a reassuringly expensive service ?? Lol
Just don’t buy an Aston ..
I was checking the price for a handbrake switch on a NP vanquish . Aston parts wanted £95 !!! It is a land rover part which can be purchased for …..£15

I use marshalls and that's what I'd expect for the first service. Kind of undermines the OP being told he was charged 400 because JLR told the other dealer they 'had to'. Clearly they could charge less as Marshalls and many others reportedly do.

Works Service (Aston) charged me £12.50 labour + VAT to fit the umbrella in the boot in my Vanquish. It's two velcro straps. This was within a £13k bill for some other stuff I had done.gotoPzero said:
I paid IRO £300 for 2nd year service.
They had the neck to tell me the car needed new brake pads. It had 6500 miles on the clock.
Does seem highly unlikely - EV's barely use their mechanical brakes for the most part.They had the neck to tell me the car needed new brake pads. It had 6500 miles on the clock.
I've wrung the neck of mine for most of its 13k miles so far and the pads are fine, no comment last service. I expect even driven hard quite often they'll easily do the 3 years I have the car for.
How much?!?!
Out of curiosity I Googled the service schedule.
A ‘service’ is literally lots of looking at stuff, a pollen filter change and a brake fluid change.
Now, remember when cars were serviced every six months, a brake fluid change was not a thing?
Well, now oil changes are no longer a thing on BEV’s, according to Jaguar all the flexible brake pipes need changing every 6 years as a ‘service’ item…

Its a 65 grand car, its not going to be a £50 job even if nothing much happens.
The motor trade is s
tting itself as EV's will need minimal maintenance compared to ICE cars.
No oil and filter service, Not turbos failing, no EGR, No DPF, no cambelt changes, no exhaust changes, no air filter, limited engine (motor) issues, brakes last longer etc etc.
They are left charging a lot of money to have look round it, wash it and change the Cabin filter, maybe the brake fluid and occasional suspension component.
Its quite conceivable, that apart from tyres and an MOT an EV could run to 100k and never see the inside of a garage, in the meantime they have to keep the place open, staffed, heated, lit, staff trained and equipment up to date.
As it is, doesn't seem much advantage servicing wise to the customer.

Be interesting to know if the Fpace or Epace have the same requirements Out of curiosity I Googled the service schedule.

I've done 50,000 miles in my eNV200.
I've no idea what a service would involve. All it needs is wiper blades, tyres, and washer bottle filling.
A service of an electric vehicle will not prevent anything going wrong, I'll never bother.
MOT will pick up most wear items, apart from that about the only thing that needs changing are the HEPA filters and brake fluid I've no idea what a service would involve. All it needs is wiper blades, tyres, and washer bottle filling.

The average service costs for the life of an EV Vs an equivalent ICE car are far lower - even if it's hard to see why they can't be cheaper still.And that's before the vastly reduced cost of consumable replacements as a result of service or MOT inspection.
My 80k Jag costs far less than the previous 40k BMW.

apparently due to covid restrictions, they didn't even wash it or top up the screen wash
It seems covid is now being used as an excuse for sh*t customer service.Something takes ages to arrive by courier... because covid
My local Starbucks has stopped giving out ceramic mugs and gives your £4 coffee in a paper cup... because covid. Do they not wash their ceramic mugs? Can I only catch covid from a ceramic mug but not from the table or chairs?
