Inspection 1 Prices?

Johnnywb · 21-11-2013, 09:59 AM

Morning all,

thought there was a sticky with latest service prices, but can't seem to find it, or maybe i'm going mad.

Dropped Cecil off this morning for its MOT and we worked out it needs a service as well (time expired rather than on miles).

They've quoted me £860 (Battersea). Pretty sure this is what i paid for an inspection 2 a few years ago. Questioned it and they said that an inspection 2 was now £1,050.

So, thoughts please. Appreciate London is more expensive and there's the convenience of it being nearby, but interested to know how it compares...

Have left a message with them, waiting for them to come back to me.

Suspect had i realised in advance i could have got Battersea down. Annoying, but as they're two miles from my front door, it's convenient for now.

I thought Servicing prices were supposed to have been standardised throughout the Dealer network, eg:
Inspection 1: £669
Oil Service: £169
Inspection 2: £989
I've an oil service coming up in the next week or so, lets see how much?

Can anyone confirm?

standard prices but discounts offered esp for older cars and CSLR members

Shimmy,

is that the £669 is the standard price? I was expecting it to be more this level than the £869 Battersea quoted this morning.

In my experience they do differ from dealer to dealer, as does the standard of service etc.

Always used Sytner Ascot for mine over the 3/4 years I had the CSL and couldn't fault them or the cost which was about the going rate, as in not one of the dearest or cheapest.

Who owns Battersea now ?
