172 first service

[norfolkminis]

Just booked my 172 in for its first service (12k)

First price I was quoted was £184.82p!! phoned my other local garage and got quoted £175. slight difference me thinks.

So I phoned up the first garage, who I got the car from as new. And hes doing it for £175 plus Ive got a £5 off voucher when I got the car. So £170 it is then.

Just goes to show how much dealers prices can differ!!

The dealer near me (Crossroads - Oxfordshire) have 3 locations, their main one quoted £185, their one in Abingdon £150, and the one I went to in Southmoor £128

Just shows how much prices can vary over just one dealer!!

I was told they charge more because their dealership is in a bigger town and the other one is out in the sticks!!

I dont care as long as its kept in warrenty.

He soon dropped the price when I said Id go else where.

Yeah, the same excuse I got - although the cheapest one is only half a mile from where I work so it couldnt be more convenient
