...complete service on a Yaris with a local non Toyota garage,...
Main stealers are a rip off
Full stop.
An baseless generalisation. I got a 1 year old car fully serviced by a main dealer for under €150 last March. Seemed like reasonable value to me.
I don't think its baseless. One exception just disprove it either. Any experience I've had with main dealers would agree with the generalisation. I've a far more pricing "mistakes" and unnecessary work atempted than in independents.
No interest in arguing but he/she said "All main stealers are a rip off. Full stop".
I illustrated my experience which shows this was incorrect.
It might be fairer to say "most main dealers are a rip off".
I got a. complete service on a Yaris with a local non Toyota garage, air filter, oil + oil filter, gear oil, brake fluid, plugs not needed, check over for NCT (which it passed), focus lights, emission test, steam clean undercarriage and environmental charge. Total €288.93 inclusive of VAT, fair enough.
But looking at the invoice I’m being charged €66.40 inclusive of VAT for 4.5 litres of engine oil.
The oil charge seems excessive given I can buy 5 litres of good 10W40 in local motor factors for €25.
I have phoned twice and queried this, but am still awaiting a reply a week later.
Is there any reason to justify an oil charge of €66.40 for an eight year old Yaris?
