That'd be our favourite local dealership then, yeah?
Phone Showells, and get a quote from them. Use that when you phone and they should match it.

Try Williams A Lewis. I got a service the other week for 87 quid so they can't be much for an oil change. That was in Shrewsbury but I think they've got a place in Bridgenorth and that's only 25 miles up the road from you. Besides the road between Kidderminster and Bridgenorth is a laugh!

Too right it is HuwWilz !!
Rich - Do you really wanna miss out on the dealer stamp for a service? May be cheaper short term, but think of the problems when you come to sell it...

If it's a service interval - It gets stamped.
(Or it should do!! I had to make another journey out there to get the muppets to stamp my first service!).

And another thing...Check out the Drivetrain section with a search. Mobil 1 ? Not sure about that. Pete Croney has put out some useful info on oil to use.

Taking Sqizz's point - if 'they' can not be bothered to offer a reasonable price up front (which is taking the pi$$ IMHO) why not just take it straight to Showells? I did after much the same exercise and can recommend the experience.
