Price of car servicing?

[bld767]

How much do you think is a reasonable price for a 10,000 mile service on a Ford Focus?

[chas2008]

asuming its oil & filter only, which its should be, a dealer is about £120 + parts + vat, depends on engine spec though..

My local garage charged me £96 inc vat, was for oil, filter, & pollen filter, this was on a bmw e46 325i.

An oil service at KwikFit is about £25. This includes:

Oil and filter changed ( Correct Zetec Oil used)
Safety checks of Light, wipers and washers, battery charge & condition, exhaust mountings and condition, tyre tread and pressure check. Top-ups of brake fluid, washer fluid and power steering fluid.

Now I've watched their fitters do this service many times and they are very thorough.

Good luck.

Thanks for your answers (I'm on a different computer hence different ID) - Bob, that sounds very reasonable, and will check out Kwik-Fit, thank you Derek for that suggestion.

Impossible to answer correctly, it depends what service is due on the schedule.

It can cost between £50 and up to £600 depending which service is correct on time or mileage, there are around 20 items to be renewed or checked on the smallest service.
Kwik fit only do nine how can that be a good service?

I was responding to Chas2008's answer relating to an oil & Filter change (Service ?) and for £25 I think, and know from personal experience, that KwikFits Oil Service IS good value. Take a look at their leaflet, or better still, give it a try and watch what they do.
