Service

[Headgas1]

Good Afternoon
I live in Bristol and I was wondering if anyone can recommend the best place to get a service,?? I have a choice of 3 MG dealers near me and I don’t really mind which one I use but I think it’s better if you know someone who has had a good experience

Thanks in Advance

I used Wilcox in Wickwar (same place I bought the car from).
Worth considering if you prefer a family run business that's the oldest MG dealer in the UK IIRC.

Thanks if I’m honest that was the one I was going to pick first if I had no replies, I do prefer the fact of a family run dealer as there usually much more personable .

Have you had a price for the service from any of them as it can vary, what is your mileage?

No prices it’s going to be the 2nd service first for me 17500 ? I thought they would be roughly the same !!!

 

[Jomarkh]

I think the second service could be around the £200 mark.

Good to know at least I have some idea although I thought it may of been cheaper as there’s not much to service is there ?

@Headgas1
2nd service is round £165 to £195 standard miles ie up to 15k one year

There is also so a low miles option under 10k a year 2nd service £110 ish(20k service)

That years 1 to 6

Thanks @N2STY good to know the car has done 3500 since last service whats the difference ie low miles option ??

About £60 I wouldn't like to say they may use a standard pollen filter instead of carbon may be visual inspection of brakes instead of removing wheels you may not get a wash
it's a hard one as there really is not much to do or replace I believe you still get bear (if in stock) and AA cover for the year
But as always check with your dealer

We purchased our Gen 1 from Weston-S-M but have never been impressed with their after sales service so we had our 1st service done by Drive MG in Bristol and were very happy with their customer service

Did you get another year of AA cover?

Did you get another year of AA cover?

Yes we did (and a Morris the bear)

You should do as a MG Dealer

I would a say one thing a few days after service call MG assist to make sure its been added on the system dealers have been forgetting to add to digital record and you will only find out when you need them not ideal

One more recommendation with all this digital service history you can buy a blank service book from eBay £2.29

If you would like to keep your own record and just ask for a stamp when you pay for your service
There are cheaper ones but this one is in mg colours

and unlike some don't have the ice car check list nice and basic

Nice but still like a proper physical printed book but that's just me

Might want to check the price on the phone - I called 3 MGs within 70miles of us and all quoted the same £260 for the second year service. It was the price MG ask them to charge apparently.
