After having quotes of £404 and £330 for a 4 year service on an xc90 (car is at 58000 miles with last service done 1year ago at 54000miles) I am wondering why there is not an investigation of the dealers by the monopolies commission! I mean come on what is hard about a service and why is it so extortionate? I managed to get one to allow me to supply my own oil but that only reduces the price by £70. I figure that I could do the air filter myself for £20, oil filter would cost around £20, fuel filter £20, no need to top up the screen washer which is usually £5... an hours work tops? I replaced the discs, pads, shoes and rear wheel bearings last summer so what else is there to check? I wonder if I can buy the dealer stamp for £20? Does anyone have a 4 year checklist of what is usually done please? Last edited by bobdabuilda; Mar 2nd, 2011 at 12:00.
