My MG3 Hybrid is due its first service at the start of September, it has done 5,348 miles. The first dealer quoted me £192.32 for a low mileage service or £298.07 for a full service - he said the difference was the full service included an oil and filter change. The second dealer (the one where I bought it from) quoted my £234.42 for a regular first year service and said it included the oil and filter change - they said it would need a major service in year 2. The latter couldn't explain the difference in the price or description given by the first dealer. So, can anyone shed some light on this. I have searched online with MG and can't find any prices or explanation; all I have found is that a service is required at 15k miles or 12months whichever is the soonest.
I'll put names to the quotes as it may be helpful to others. The first Dealer is the Drive Group (Leicester) I have just rung them back to ask them and they said the price was £182.85 and included oil and filter change and that the second year major service was £437.82 - which is completely different to what they told me before - he said he thought I was quoted for a petrol MG3 not a hybrid and that the prices He quoted have just gone on the system! (Weird or bullshit - you choose). The second dealer is Sandicliffe in Loughborough. I have also just rung Spirit MG in Corby (I saw in another post someone said they were inexpensive) and guess what they quoted £336.38 for the first years’ service - when I queried the price, they said it was likely to be labour rates! I think all of them are just clutching at straws and really don't know what they are doing. So, at the moment I'm going to use my local dealer that I bought the car from - Sandicliffe, Loughborough, at £234.42 unless someone comes back with more info or explanation
