Talking how much for a service?

been to a garage today about a service on my classic sport and was told i am looking at £300

this sounds a lot to pay. ive only done 35,000

anyone?

Thumbs up

Sounds about right ! I had a 35k service done (at 24k), I think that came in just over 300 squids. It's the next service that'll sting me.

Mines a turbo, so I don't know how that would compare to servicing a sport.

Best to shop around a bit.

Sara, try Paul @ Zen Performance, I am sure that he would be a lot cheaper than you have been quoted.

offs its 20 minutes from Northampton so 50 in total . Give Paul a call & ask how much, if a lot cheaper it is worth the trip.

Didn't think it mattered if it was early or late for you Sara, the answers are still the same
