which dealership did you use?

i bought my car from pullman sunderland and it had a headlight replaced under warranty and they made a right arse of it so won't be using them again

i found pullman durham a lot more professional though

I paid about £110 for my 1st annual service then about £130 for the 2nd but I assume the long life service is more involved. So, yes, cheap indeed.

Lookers Middlesbrough,  I find the service dept excellent but the sales dept crap, they didn't take me seriously when I was looking for a new car so I bought from a broker, now everytime I go in the same salesman keeps telling me to see him when I think of buying a new one.   Hmmmm not going to happen.

There is no difference between a longlife service and the shorter time and distance service its just the longlife is done at 20k or 2 years as against 10k or 1 year. They still use the longlife oil in both.

I paid £250 for the 3 year service plan which I think is now £290. While its under warranty for 3 years they may as well service it after then I will do it myself.

Jonny its more if your car is mapped or not, if its not mapped then an update may sort little niggles out like engine stutter or poor mpg, any starting problems or so forth.

But if you have it mapped it will wipe the map off.

I was listening to the service guy the other day and they was charging £149 for T&D and £195 for LL?? Is there is difference in price of the oil?
