Was that at Team Valley LR?

I've had no invites to take out any service contracts on mine but I have had 5 invitations to take out a scheme for my last FFRR that I traded in against the Evoque ! That car would now be 3 years old.

It would be subsidised from the extensive profit they make on the car I would say.

Would be a nice move to offer this retrospectively

You must have mystical powers

Any guess on the lottery numbers for this weekend!

That's knocked £500-£700 off the value of our vehicles, by NOT offering it to existing owners, since it can be transferred to a 2nd owner...

+1

Im now going to re-arrange my bonnet and boot lettering to spell ANGER ROVER in protest!

The offer from LR is only available on cars purchased since Jan 2013 and the offer on lasts until the end of May so it won't have much effect on the rest if us, especially if dealers don't realise that the car has the service agreement and don't tell the next owner that the deal is transferable ( which I bet they won't do!)

I took mine to Team Valley Land Rover and got a the first year service plus hire car all in for £239. Can't complain and next to £100 cheaper than Stratsone Newcastle. Service was first class and the guys were really helpful and knew there stuff.

Been quoted £425 for 1st service at 1 year old on 3k miles SI4 from lookers

That sounds pretty toppy to me

Anyone else had experience of London servicing costs?
