8 year service

[gibbon]

Apologies, im sure I saw a similar thread but for the life of me I cant find it, and google isn't helping.

What are people actually paying for their 8y services on a v8 Vantage please? The prices seem to vary massively and haggling seems common. So what are people actually paying?

Many thanks

about £650 at independent including a couple of extra bits n bobs that needed attention

[SL500UK]

£700 plus vat which included the trans oil change but not the brake fluid change (they test the fluid first, if it needs changing then this is an extra £100?).

Not many independents in Bucks.

£883 inc VAT seems the best I can get including the gearbox oil change etc, I cant get anywhere near £650 and maintain all the service criteria.

I haven't called them, im London based, so a bit far for me. I didn't specify location in my question as im interested in pricing nationally.

In fact, I live in Pinner so about 50 miles away. Currently car is there having 60k mile service. They quoted £200 or so lower than anyone else though I really want the AM Works badge :-)

ah..right...I had the gearbox oil done early as I was looking forward to the improvement ...and it was noticeable....nearly £900 sounds about right then with 8 plugs and the gearbox oil, and extra labour

No plugs, they were done last year.

ok, so you are paying +£200 for a gearbox oil change ...not outrageous if the labour rate is like £80+vat per hour ...some dealers are £120+vat
