At a main dealer or an independant? In what part of the country?

The second year service is a longer one and prices have varied from £900-£1500 ish. The lowest was a supply your own oil price I think, the highest a Works Service price.
I managed to negotiate a 10-15% discount on the official price.

After some negotiation I eventually had my V12V second service through my dealer of choice (the supplying AM dealer) for £900.01 fully inclusive. There is some variation in the AM network and some dealers will not negotiate at all but worth a couple of telephone calls. It is also worth searching for a thread begun about 9 months ago where I received some good advice that persuaded me that it was worth the small amount of haggling required to get an improved price. Good luck whichever way you go.

My car had its second service at Works Service in May for considerably less than £1500.

And I didn't even have to bring my own oil!

May I suggest that some additional work was required to bring the price up to £1500?

Mine was just service for £1400 in South East (a bit cheaper than the DBS).

I didn't negotiate the price as I have found them very helpful on several warranty items.

Do you think that if you haggle on the service costs that they would be less helpful on warranty items? confused

With a professional dealer, absolutely not.

Brilliant, thanks for the help.
Service due and JCT600 Leeds keep chasing.

If as you say it can be done for £900 I can live with that, forewarned is forearmed as they say when I ring them though.

Cheers

Just received this from Tina at JCT600 Leeds.

The cost of a second service for your V12 is £1130. In light of the low mileage I would offer you a discounted rate of £950 all in.

So far, as per last year,they are showing an ability to be competitive whilst giving excellent service.

With the deal I got it was 4.9% APR and about 13% knocked off the price of the car. Regs

I managed to negotiate £800 for a two year, 8000 mile service by deleting a couple of things like pollen filter and getting Broughtons (now Owens) to be a bit realistic. Good company good service
