If I remeber rightly, the labour is free for the first service and you pay for the materials. But if your car is from the EU then maybe they don't give you the labour for free, hence the higher price. I think my first service was 50 quid ish (that was for a WR1)

You might be about to get a 10% discount with SIDC membership.

I paid about £140 for my 1000 mile service for my EU Belgian Import a couple of years ago.....

UK cars got this free at my local dealer but as I had saved about £3000 I was not too bothered

The labour element is paid for by IM, so it's only free for UK supplied cars.....
