70k service

Just booked my car in for its 70k service tomorrow at my local stealer and they have quoted me Â£109!

Is this reasonable? I thought that was quite good for a main stealer. Think I paid Â£140 for the 60k service.

I know I could probably carry out the service myself but the car has a FVWSH up till now and it seems a shame to not get the stamp.

What are they including in the quote? Just the basic usual?

yeah, just a standard inspection service but I'm pretty sure that's all i got last year as well?

When was the last time the spark plugs were changed?

What was the milage of it then>

Probably want to look at get them changed at the same time.

Anyway, I presume for Â£109 you'll get new oil, oil filter, air filter all fluids checked and topped up?

I'd get the gearbox oil also changed.

Was on just over 39500 when it last had the plugs done.

Aye, you cant be too careful with the gearbox.
