Question

I know its been asked a hundred times or more, but any recommendations for a 30k service in the Herts/Beds/Bucks area?

Local dealer in Baldock wants £410 !!

Thanks,

Nick.

I would't have thought you'd save a right lot over that!

Ouch Nick

Probably a bit far outta your way but Cheam Motors (not far for Jnc 10 M25) or Mill Lane in Basingstoke would probably pip that price. By the time you've driven there though its probably no cheaper!!

Hows things otherwise?

Good, thanks mate.

Bike's getting plenty of use at the moment, just got to fork out for that large bill on the scooby!

Does that price sound about right to you then? - i'd rather keep it local for the conveinience, but thanks for the info anyway

Nick.

LOL - I've been chicken in the pee-ing rain!!!

Yep, unfortunately around 400 is about right for the 30k as its all the fluids replaced eg, brake, oil, coolant, power steering etc etc.....

See ya!

Just phoned a few others, and it turns out that 410 is the best anyway!

Booked in now.

Cheers Neil,

Nick.

Had mine done at Mill Lane Basingstoke a few weeks ago. £450, which I thought was quite cheap. I was expecting 500 - 600.

My car is shortly due to have it's 30k (though with only 15K on the clock)

Lancaster (sevenoaks) want £500!!!!!

Spring Park (West Wickham) want £425!

What the hell is going on. I don't mind paying alot for a service (or anything when I have to) but I'm not happy when I see huge differences in the standard charges.

Has anyone else noticed the same with big price differences considering these garages are both pretty close to me.
