Default XC60 Year 2 Scheduled Service

Hi all,

Any views on what is a good price for the above?

The XC60 is relatively low mileage (22,000) with no issues. To me a price of c.£400 isn't representing good value, especially when the Yr 1 service @ 11,000 was down towards c.£200 incl VAT.

Interested in your views.

Thanks

What you quote seems to be the normal dealership pricing, I think it is fairly uniform throughout the UK at main dealers. I was quoted around £420 here in Edinburgh at the Volvo dealer, my second year service is due next January and it does include the fuel filter change which the first year service does not.

In reality the other option of going with an independent service at about £250 approx. are the possible warranty questions and hassles that would no doubt ensue should you need to claim through the main dealer. I know legally it is not a requirement to have a dealership service but to make life easier in such a situation sometimes it is worth the extra £150 (in this scenario). You also get UK & European Volvo Breakdown Assistance included for the next year going with the dealership which to buy the equivalent of must be in excess of £100.

My opinion is at the end of the day, even though it seems more expensive going main dealer service, it actually probably isn't, and well worth the outlay.

Hope this helps.

the 2nd year service includes fuel filter and air filter and you get the software updated of course and breakdown cover , probably around £350 in your area .

Have to say, totally agree with this; for me, the breakdown cover, (lack of) potential warranty hassle, and software updates are enough reason to use the dealer.

But each to their own and I understand why some don't.

Had a similar issue with my xc60 2016 y.o.m had its first/12 month service at 9,000 miles, second service due this month but have still only done 18000 miles,
Booked it in at local volvo dealer when I arrived I had a chat with the service guys and they came back with a price of £260.00 which I agreed and have had done, Still have service history and breakdown cover.
Well happy...

Don't buy "Premium" cars and expect budget servicing.
