Servicing Kent/M25 border
Hi Guys,
Has anyone got any recommendations for servicing on this area?
Beadles Sidcup have quoted £675 (or special offer @ £562) for a 2yr/25k service.
Sounds steep to me!

Surely a £50,000 motor car deserves £600 for its service by the official dealer - keeps all the warranties intact if nothing else PLUS if they put in the wrong fluids and something goes wrong it is down to the dealer!
As a BTW I pay £400 for a service on my 16 year old MGF - value of car £800.00 BUT value of peace of mind priceless!LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

Harwoods Croydon quoted the same base rate, but are offering a special of £520.D4 HSE, Active Rear Diff, surround cameras, adaptive xenons, heated steering wheel, TPMS, remote park heating, centre console cooler box

Beadles certainly used to price match, so just ring around a few other dealers and then go back to Beadles to see if the will match it.

Certainly heard a lot of good things about RCV, once out of warranty it's where I'll take mine.

They better than matched - came in at £499. As long as they don't top it up with extras!D4 HSE, Active Rear Diff, surround cameras, adaptive xenons, heated steering wheel, TPMS, remote park heating, centre console cooler box

I have found that they usually do try and beat other dealers. If you mention this forum too, that sometimes seems to ease things a little
Beadles do offer a great service and if it was me, the aformentioned peace of mind would be very comforting regarding warranty etc.
