MG4
It's time for my Friday afternoon special to have it's first service. I was hoping the price would be <£100, however it looks like that's not going to happen.

I thought I'd share the prices quoted, so far I have the following quotes for the "service" (i.e. walk around the car and confirm it is indeed an MG4 - ca-ching, money please :p)

Area / Cost £
Barnsley = £133
Sheffield = £135
Doncaster = £145
Chesterfield = £145
Leeds = £154
Nottingham = £162
York = Did not Answer
 
Yep that's about it. A quick look over.
Had mine done the other week, £143 please. I waited while they did it. Well walked to a nearby Maccies. Got a breakfast, did a couple of crosswords. Just over an hour, got a phone call, it's ready. Walked back, job done. 🙂👍

Hi, has you car done less than 10K if so you could ask for a low mileage service.
 
Have to wonder if this is anything more than dealerships hanging on to their traditional way of working. ICE's have regular services mainly to change fluids. EV's don't have much that needs changing. I've had my Tesla for nearly two years. It'll tell me when it wants a service, so far not a peep out of it.

I'm thinking of changing to a Tesla for that very reason. £162 was a rip off.

God help you if yu do, had a Model 3 for three years, that was long enough.
But from a servicing point of view it is 2 years and then just minor stuff, mobile ranger did it while at work so convenient.
