MartynS Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 My car is approaching a year old now so will soon need its first service. My local garage (where I bought the car), part of Inchcape, quotes £169 for the first year. This seems a bit high, I'm sure others on here have had their first service at around £100. Do garages generally reduce the price if you ask, or is there no haggling margin like there is when buying a car? I always had my old car serviced at a local garage, but want to stick to official Ford for the new one (plus the free breakdown cover is handy). Hence I have no experience of main dealer servicing! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 If you don't like the price - go somewhere else or try and price match between the dealers. My first service was around £100, so I do think that's too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dLockers Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Usually just sparkies/oil/oil filter. Max £50 in parts at retail price. Hour labour max. Try a different Ford garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
