Car Full Service - too cheap????

Play

Hi

I booked my car in for a full service and got a quote of £110 + vat.

£50 labour £60 parts

Is this too cheap???? Should I be worry?

So you decided servicing is not such a rip off after all and now think it`s too cheap

As above without more details of the car and what the service includes no on can say.

You need to find out what that includes, full service is meaningless as it can include (or not include) any number of things.
I would guess your quote will be for an oil service plus an air filter.

Sounds cheap to me, £50 labour might get you 1 hr, they won't do much in that time. Mind you as it's been said before Full service doesn't mean that much, I think we had a full service and it didn't include spark plugs

Very cheap for a Bentley.

If that is a petrol I'd be seriously questioning it as the spark plugs alone will be the thick end of £40 on most cars leaving just £20 for air filter, fuel filter, oil and other consumables. £50 labour, they must be cheap.

Not necessarily.

It all depends on which car. My local garage charges as per bill for the parts and around 40-50 for doing service. He does it all infront of me so no funny business.

I wouldn't want my garage man doing it in front of me.
