My tdi 150 40k service was 280 quid at stealers. I reckon parts cost em well less than 50 quid so labour doesn't come cheap. I estimated 3 hours at most so nearly 80 quid an hour
They change oil n filter {obviously} Fuel filter,Cabin filter,Brake fluid,Air filter,give it
a visible going over, and provide you with a nice lemon citrus smell when you wash wipe your windows.Wheels won't even be taken off unless you need brake pads which is extra dosh,and if you are really lucky like I wasn't motor may come back scratch and chip free.THATS ABOUT IT REALLY.

i used star performance last year for my 3 year 25,000 mile sevice and they only took 75 quid, half the price of the stealers and they didn't give me a list the length of my arm for work that my car needed. my service light has only just come on so i've e-mailed jim at star to get my car booked in and a price for the 40,000 mile service, i'm sure i asked him last year and was quoted 110 quid, i'd much rather have jim or brian service the black beast rather than some yts guy at the stealers. i think its plugs and leads at the 40,000 not sure if theres anything else or not.

my car is going in for its 40k on tuesday, stealers wanted £350!! Inde-Tech are doing it for £170. Its an ibiza though, seems a little expensive compared to the non-dealer prices you lot are talking about.

f''k that 350 u would need money to burn:censored:
