thats depressing for a oil change as they do sod else more, mines due in 3 months !

Yes, mine was just under the £1k last October. Felt robbed. What did they do apart from change the oil, check the car over for 10 minutes and go for a test drive?

I didn't even enjoy the experience much. Seemed to be no passion or interest among the staff. The service advisors never stay for long enough to develop any interest. I fear the corporate culture is sucking the life out of the brand.

Check whether or not your service centre is in the fixed price scheme or if there is one local to you that is.
For some thats an option that might be worth travelling for the saving.

I agree with you totally..Couple with discounting on pre-reg cars it smacks of a combination of corporate greed to increase market share and going much more mainstream..I paid much less for a similar service on my 458 and the experience was much nicer..Next car you buy should be a Ferrari as at least they're still special..

£176, just have my Clubsport done, not only that you get a FULL check and video of the car and a full report of upcoming wearing parts.
great service.

It should be fixed pricing, for the 2 year/12k mile service it's £895.00

Leeds charged themselves £747 for the first service prior to me purchasing the car. That’s £895 incl VAT.

On my previous 911 I managed to obtain a£300 discount on a major service by telephoning around the local dealers.

Or buy a car you can service through the indy network for less money and much more diligent service.

Leeds in my experience have always been the best opc price wise ,I’ve done some cracking deals with them whether buying or servicing ,actually I use to take my aston over to Leeds aston as they were do much chestier then wilmslow,maybe it’s a Yorkshire thing?

Maybe on the RS4/6/TT but not on the R8. Looking at ~£600 for oil, filter and pollen filter. In fairness the pollen filter is a royal PITA.

[franki68]

£850 + vat is what I have just been quoted ,plus £170 for the air con .

Con is the operative word here.

considering buying a 911.2 GT3, it will need its 4 year service next September and just wondering roughly what this is likely to cost me?
