V8V 6th year service cost?

[Dav_s]

Hello all

My V8V will soon be due it's 6th year service. Anyone had the same done recently? If so what sort of price? And also any recommendations in or around west London?

Thanks

Mine was just short of £600 at an independant ...but thats Northern pricing for you

[SL500UK]

Originally quoted by main dealer £1200, told them that I received an alternative quote then they came back and said £900 inc vat and brake fluid change.

Works service are doing a 'competitive pricing plan' for cars 6 years and older, they will collect it if required. Mine is just having its 7 year service which is a bit more expensive and come in at around £870. Just call a few dealers and get them to quote you, there will be some wiggle room I suspect. If you wanted someone local specifically then maybe try Trinity in Surrey for an Indy price.

The even number Services are expensive on the Vantage, the 6th year one more so as it involves the wipers, air filter and pollen filter.

I would not be expecting much change from £1k.

As for 'where' to go I would suggest typing into your search engine the phrase "mondeo garages"

I used the figures from this website http://www.servicethecar.com/Get-A-Quote.aspxhttp:... as part of my bargaining tool and the service cost dropped from £1201 to £800

But... they then found a few issues and the final bill was £1600

It doesn't have to include those three items. All 3 are either mileage or 'on condition' items so can be excluded, if you want. I was initially quoted over £1k by an AM approved workshop but after discussion, and 'negotiation' on those three items, the price came down to £6-700. (I can't recall exactly how much at the moment, I'm afraid). I also provided my own Castrol oil, so that saved a bit more.

Blimey that's actually not too bad then!
Takes me 45 mins from Northants!

Worth the drive IMO though.

Well if James is recommending his Dad's garage (again) I'll predictably say 'take it Bamford Rose' as usual. I had avoided it as it's not what the OP asked

An hour from Heathrow? In normal traffic? Err... OK, sure.

Steve, when we meet, I'll demonstrate how my tiny hands could never get to grip with that mighty knob The Sarah maynard one is much better for me

Looked to me like it was actually stevewushu who recommended that garage?
