United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black
First Service Info

Tomorrow my RRS V6 diesel HSE goes in for its first service so I had a quick ring round to see what my local dealers would charge, as expected prices vary greatly results are as follows

Williams Manchester £294.50
Guy Salmon Stockport £351.00
Guy Salmon knutsford £280.00
Charles Hurst London £381.00 all though they are miles away from me I thought I would give them a ring because they post on this forum and I thought they would be a good bench mark, sadly it took me ages to get through to service and eventually ended back at reception when I finaly got through and queried the cost I was told that wage rates are higher in London and they could not move on that price, I can accept that their is a difference but not that much. Is it possible that Land Rover accept higher labour rates on warranty work in London than in other counties, I think not ,I would imagine that there is a set time allowance and cost for warranty work I wait to be corrected, if this is the case why should we the customer pay more for our servicing than other areas. So needless to say my car goes to Guy Salmon Knutsford in the morning, I will let you all know how things go upon it's return. I did post a query in this section some months ago regarding the Knutsford branch but had no replies so may be I am the first from the forum to use them, will keep you posted, but it does seem checking around is worthwhile RRS HSE, Java Black,Black Leather

What is the fixed time for a 1st service. At a guess it's 5 hours so that makes one dealers rates £20 ph more than the cheapest. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

James from Charles Hurst did suggest that anyone from the forum that requires servicing should PM him first. I presume there would be some form of discount at that point, although I agree the price differential is quite considerable. Again, not in your neck of the woods but Guava nr Guildford are considerably cheaper than any other dealer I've ever queried. Very Happy
