Hello all,

 

Found this site a few weeks back and read some good advice so far. Picked up my gunmetal GT coupe a couple of months ago, been waiting impatiently for the rain to go away but lately been enjoying the recent dry weather :D

 

Have to say Im loving the car so far even though 4 new tyres were needed a couple of weeks back (ouch - but worth it!). Even after two months the sound of the exhaust still brings a daft grin to my face. Not sure if I will ever go back to diesel after this.

 

Now for some frienldy advice if you will....P1 service is due soon and not to keen on taking it to a dealers, Id prefer to take it to someone who knows what theyre doing. Does anyone know of any good independent garages in the Newcastle/Durham area? Car is outside of warranty now but would like to keep good history in the book if possible.

 

Many thanks

 

Chris

Thanks all,

 

Been quoted two prices from main dealers so far:

 

£176 and £187 (although both said will do it for £150 [as if theyre doing me a favour]). Seems steep for what is essentially an oil change :angry:

 

Agree with Mike, and infact the 2 prices you mention are what i paid for the P1 and P2 respectively. :thumbs:

Gosh the prices for servicing on this thread seem very reasonable.

 

After a test drive yesterday, and upon enquiring on the prices for servicing, I was quoted £231.61 for P1, £312.50 for P2 and £354.65 for P3.

 

Why so much more for the same work? I don't get it. :scare:
