First Year Body Service
Hello All,
My first year body service is booked in for Thursday 8th (car is 13 months old - ooops). It is costing £90 + VAT (£105 approx).
Who has had this done, is it worth the money not debating its value just the cost - I have read somewhere it being done by one dealer for about £50.
Brian.

Brian,
I'd phone around and see if the difference in cost can justify having to drive further to get it done.
They just check the external bodywork and remove and re-spray underseal on the underside of the car.

Hi Stefan (again),
They said they also treat all the cavities, sills, etc and it takes 1 and a half hours! Don't really want to take it to D(r)ive or Halleys!! The petrol cost to S&S etc would also cut into the saving. Also, forgot to ask them about my SIDC dicount which I should get, so it should be £95 - trying to build up a rapport with Nobles - they have had thousands out of me already - if you know where I'm coming from.
