Hi guys, a few months ago I got a price off the website Maindealerdiscount for my 08 sport and it was £199 at stratstones bury so a 40 mile drive but worth it. Now I actually need the service I have just been on and the nearest place is now Bristol which is 173 miles away and price at £338, any ideas????

i use a place in magull called magull 4x4 have used them for many years they charge half the labour cost of a dealer there is also a landrover specialist in speke

hello Mike
just a small extract from maindealer discount

Quote:

Franchised Main Dealer ‘VALUE’ service/inspection (interim or full)

As vehicles age and change hands customers often look to make savings on their vehicle servicing and maintenance. This has meant some customers have moved away from using the main dealer and instead preferred to use the nearest ‘fast-fit’ style operator.

The ‘value’ service has been introduced to provide a high quality service performed by manufacturer trained technicians at an authorised main dealer for older vehicles. The value service/s will still perform a vast number of essential tasks e.g. vehicle safety checks, replace oil and filter and under bonnet fluids etc and will use original equipment parts. But it’s cheaper. Why is it cheaper?

Various parts and fluids won’t be replaced as a matter of course (like the manufacturer defined interval service/inspection)

The number of check performed are not as comprehensive as the manufacturer defined interval service/inspection but far exceed most 'fast-fit operator' inspections and include a thorough vehicle safety check.

Bristol must be the only location on there as it comes up for me too, nearly two hundred miles away.
Stratstones do price matching so why not get a quote from an independent for them to match, if you don't mind Stratstones of course
