1st Service due

Hi,
12 months and 17K enjoyable (though not very economical) miles on and my BabyRR needs its first service.
I live in Bolton and our nearest stealer is Stratstone Bury however we won't be going to them as the buying expereince was terrible and they frankly don't deserve the business!
Any recommendations for an alternative (localish) dealer, also what should I expect to or ultimately pay (did you get a deal)?
Any response really appreciated!

Stratstones said a year or 20K?
Looks like Team valley are cheapest and I can get there next time I'm up in the NE?
Any recommendations for more local dealers though folks?

Interesting has this changed? pretty sure my service book says 16000 miles or a year each service.

Must admit that my service indicator hasn't illuminated and I'm only 2 days from its 2nd birthday, and only 19750 miles on the odo -I was expecting to get the 28 day count down showing so I wonder if LR has changed it and not told owners........ The sticker on my windscreen also says that the car is due this month

Just had my first service at stratstones bury as part of a service plan. Everything went ok I guess apart from the valeting which wasn't up to scratch. Smudges and smears on every shiny surface eg gear console, driver display cluster, touch screen. I realise it's complementary but pretty rubbish really at this level

Is the "wash and buff up" described in their service menu as a valet or just a wash? There are still some dealers around that don't do anything, you get your car back as dirty as it went in............ so be thankful they did what they did!

Yep but he probably paid £350 for the privilege!

By the way just booked in at Team Valley £240 all in!

I had a "do not wash" sign made up, handing from the rear view mirror & I write across the paper work the same.
I'm not blaming the wash guys at any dealership. As they only have about 10-15mins to spend on each car, with basic equipment & products.

Just before mine went in for service I noticed a long scratch on the passenger door glass............. that wasn't the dealer's guys, it must have been the local pressure wash
guys with their long handled microfibre cleaner brush
