1st Service price differences, yikes!!!

Cardiff Stratstone is £342 includes wash and valet. Wish they would price match!

Town & County, Aberdeen are £356... Includes either courtesy car or collecting and returning car to my office. Car will also be cleaned inside and out.

Pentland 287 for service and 20.00 for two days with their RRS loan car.

Evoque was returned washed and vac'ed and they fixed all of the faults apart from one little rattle so very very very happy indeed.

It feels totally different to drive so not sure what they did or if I had been given a poorly PDI'd car to start with so perhaps I can start to fall in
love with it now that I've had it and hated it for almost a year !

Update. Originally quoted £356 for 1st service... And too busy at work to look around or negotiate. Peter Vardy (previously Town & County) Aberdeen, phoned me for my cc details and charged "only" £300 as I was a member of LR Allegiance scheme!

Just read through this thread and as I am an owner of two small businesses I like to champion the little guys.
Just to repeat (as I have checked it myself today) Land Rover Team Valley Gateshead £239 including parts, oil, labour, VAT and courtesy car!
Thats over £100 less than any other quote I got from the other stealers in the North (Birmingham up to Glasgow).
For those who don't know this place is right by the A1 and not far from the Metro centre.

Stiggy, I was holding job interviews last week and offered the job to daughter of the guy who (as it turns out) owns the place on the Team Valley.

I mentioned this forum and that members seemed to speak highly of the business and she said she would tell him and he would be over the moon.

Just a shame I sold my Pure a month ago..............could have asked for a discount!

I've mentioned that place before and I’ll be taking mine there in March when mine is due. I'm still flabbergasted why Stratstone Newcastle will want £100 more. I can understand it’s a franchised dealership with overheads but is it really worth going there..??

Probably worth me travelling from Bolton and it would still be cheaper than local dealers. SWMBO could have a few hours shopping as well. On second thoughts that will probably cost more

I'm going to use the one at Team Valley. Stratstone Newcastle are just way overpriced. It has been mentioned that the paintwork warranty is not valid if car not serviced at a Main Dealer, but that may not accurate. Perhaps someone can verify?

That is nonsense. The paintwork warranty would only not be valid on panels repaired by non approved bodyshops.

The EU requires that manufacturers honour the warranty as long as you use original parts - you don't even have to get servicing done by main dealers but they don't like us to know that.
