1st service cost MG5 (2022 older model)

[omega22]

Just had my 1st service at 13k miles. No issues. Cost £138 inc VAT. Sure beats our last ICE cars. Long may it continue.

Hi, that's not a bad price for a first one at that mileage

May I (for once!) be the first to say I hope you had it done at an MG garage to get your AA membership extended!!

I've just had my first service at 7.5K with Richmond Southampton.

£85.20 inc VAT

Good service, first garage to actually call when the car was done rather than tea time...

Just paid £130 for first service @13.5k mile. Donalds MG Peterborough renewal of MG Assistance too.

I’m thinking of taking my LR Excite there for its first service (slightly less miles). I wonder, could I please ask if they gave you any paperwork for your own records (rather than keeping it all on their system, as they did for my PDI)?

Kind of... system was down on the day. They said they would email a printout. Had to chase it up but they did send a screenshot of the service record that I can print.

A very good point to remember. I had mine done at a MG dealer and after a few days I rang the AA on the magic number and enquired. Mine hadn't been renewed. So a quick call to the dealer and the said they would do it. Rang the AA a few days later again and yes I was now covered.
So moral of the story is don't assume anything....check.

When I had a Skoda Yeti (shudder), Arnold Clark called as soon as they claimed the car was ready for collection. Which was simultaneously understandable but surprising.

Understandable as I could relate to anyone wanting that heap of junk off their premises ASAP. But surprising that there was someone at Arnold Clark who knew how to use a telephone.

Interesting. Just booked mine in to the same place for a first service and they quoted £150.

ZS low mileage first service cost was £36.97

And i had my MG5 pre facelift first service ( low mileage) for the same price
Mine had done 7500 miles at the time

Just had my first service done at Oxford MG at 8500 miles. Cost was £120 inc VAT which I thought was reasonable, complete with descriptive video, topping up fluids and cleaning inside and out. Shame it takes a couple of hours to get home after leaving the car, two buses and about a mile and a half on foot. The disadvantage of country life?

The service takes so little time it's easier to wait.

That's what I did on my first service it took about 2 hours , maybe less . The dealer is 20 miles from me , pointless travelling home and waiting for a call

My dealer is in a rural location so a pleasant countryside walk for a couple of hours is the order of the day if the weather is kind (which it was last year)

That works for me too

I got no paperwork from MG after my service says it’s on a digital bats base now. They do renew your AA membership.though if you use a MG dealer.
