I managed to get my 90k for a shade over 500 notes, and the 90k is when the stupidly expensive 60k meets the stupidly expensive 45k, so I didn't do too badly.

3+ yrs ago now but still... 90 K (=60K + cambelt) + rear pads (+ crank oil seal & a couple of bits & bobs) for £590. £200 + VAT = £235 of that for the labour (ouch!). I thought (and still do) that I got ripped, and haven't been back there since.
Your bill looks very steep to me...
Where did you take it? - I'm in Worthing area so have an interest...in where to avoid!!

Scooby,
Had the same £60k service and needed rear pads. Quoted 65.00 plus VAT plus 30 mins labour for the additional parts. Sent me the bill and it had come to just short of £700.00. I rang KT Greens as I felt I had been overcharged. They told me that the computer had incorrectly charged the labour costs and gave me a revised bill for £497.00.
I think I'd have a word with them mate.

22.5k service should be £100 ish. Or is it the 30k/2 year service your car needs? Most dealers seem to want £450ish but some will do it for £320 ish with a bit of negotatiation
