Kia servicing costs?

sdavi3680

Anyone here with a Kia who can give me an idea of the servicing costs? I'm considering getting a new Ceed. I'm guessing to get the full benefits of the 7 year warranty you would need to get it serviced at the main dealer. So I'm wondering how expensive they are over the 7 years. I phoned up one place in Plymouth and another in Newport and they said £250 - £300 for the 1st and 2nd years. Seems quite high to me.
The prices from this dealer I found on the website (no where near me though) look reasonable however...http://www.premier-car.co.uk/kia-servicing.html.

What do you pay or consider is a reasonable price for a service?

I wonder if the dealers you spoke to were being lazy and didn't check properly.
The prices you linked to seem more appropriate at a main dealer for the type of car your looking at.

I'm often amused by the reputation BMW's have for being expensive to service. In reality it's been £250 for the whole of the first 2 years inc. 2 year brake fluid change, about £250 year 3. Cheaper than a Kia and many others.

Remember price of servicing is related to propert prices in that particular area. Having said that thet do seem high.

Surprises me to how people have perceptions of how expensive dealer servicing is. Just had a VW service carried out on the Mrs Sharan - £89 including a stamp in the book, nice cup of coffee, and a "do you mind waiting for 10 minutes sir - the cars just going through the valeting bay for you"

I'd march up to the service desk at your nearest Kia dealer and ask them the servicing costs, i did exactly that before buying my Toyota pick up and the services are very slightly cheaper cos i'm a nice bloke..;)

Or, don't go to the dealer for servicing. Can't need a lot for the first and second services.

block exemption means any vat reg garage can service any car using suitable parts without affecting warranty,
as service prices i spent 2 years with nationwide fraudo centres they charged £210 for a full service parts only cost on average £20 nice mark up

As long as BER is renewed... looks promising tho, depends on euro commission.

Thanks for that Steve, I assume you are a representative of Kia, if so you will need to register as such on here.:)
