Hi Peeps,

Just a quick one. How much was your 1k service and what materials did they use for the cost?

Thanks

Jules

 

My STI cost £38IIRC, 4.5litres engine oil, filter and a washer.

Any ideas what kind/make of oil they used?

~Jules

 

Yeah, Castrol Maganatec Semi-synth. I'm not too uphappy about the oil as I like to put more miles on the car before going for ultra slippery fully synthetic 'good stuff'.

My service was £78. I thought that was a bit on the steep side.

 

cripes...£78.. they must have spilt another 4.5 litres of oil somewhere.

shouldn't y'all be getting these services under warrenty? or are they all imports

 

Just the cost of materials on the 1000 mile serivce. Some dealers ideas of the cost of materials are WAY different to others it seems

Richie.

 

Indeed, one reason to import

 

Got first service free of charge as part of the deal.

 

It's free isn't it?

 

Around here (Portugal) first service is free! They don't chenge oil in this service.

Uh-oh ...

On Euro import Mainland charged me

labour £49.50 (1 hour)
parts £16.64
oil £26.00
Environmental disposal £1.50

plus VAT £16.39

Grand total = £110.03

IS THIS A RECORD?

still saved a fortune over a UK car though

 

With servicing costs like that they'll soon get the saving back from you!,

 

Speedking,

If you car is an import than it is correct they will charge you for the labour on the 1st service so that's in the ball park of what I've seen quoted from many dealers.

If it's a UK car then they ripped you off as they shouldn't charge labour.....

Matt

 

no, no labour charges on a u.k car only the cost of service parts.

 

CVC cardiff charged me £150 for a standard 1k on my Euro import MY02.

 

cough, rip off, cough

Richie.
