Almost spat my coffee out when I heard this number on the other end of the phone! And the words were spoken casually as if it was a cost not to guffaw about! I said thanks but no thanks and will stick with my local garage at less than half the cost. Anyone had a similar experience with their local dealer? Extortionate servicing costs? I know dealers are always more expensive, but when the 'service' was broken down into it's component parts, doesn't seem a lot for your money...
Yes £375 is about par for a service on any prestige car these days at the dealer... and has been for some years certainly not extortionate .. was this the small service or the one with air filter and fuel filter ?

You do get what you pay for ... and a few "free" concessions ... did they discount the MOT ?
