Tollbar mentioned 10% off for cars over 4 years old.

My last service (60k ish) came in at £380 so I argued a bit, he knoced a bit off, I argued a bit more, got it for about £320 in the end.

Our rate for cars 4 years old and older is £59.50 per hour which is approx 22% less than our full retail of £75.50 per hour. its allways worth haggling, there is so much competition out there these days.

Hmm. Just looked at the service shedule....

My 2001 V70 T5 is soon coming up for it's 22 year service........ Does that mean I get another discount????

Frostbite · Aug 21st, 2008, 13:58

Turning Circle? A bit off topic, but nevermind...

Anyhow, Mo... Are you sure Stratstones are doing all that for £150 inc VAT, parts & labour?

I guess the catch there, is that they will inspect alot of things and point out the slightest problem as a failed part (I bet those parts are not included!).

I'm expecting to get through £200 at an independant this year on a service

Yes Alan I have just had it done,Call Stratstone Rocky Lane Aston and ask to speak to Jameel and ask about the E Service and if he quotes you a different price I'll give you my receipt to throw at him LOL.
