Booking service on line cheaper than on the phone

Rang the dealer last week to find out availability for a 36 months service and cost to which they said it would cost £545 all in and could be done within a week.
Decided I would book it in over the weekend so went online to do so and the same service at the same dealer is only £495 online which made me think the dealer was taking the Censored at £50 extra just for the joys of speaking to a person to book it ! 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

No, but £500 for a 3rd service is taking the Censored Laughing

West Sussex = forget main dealers. Lots of better options depending on your location:
Sussex Vehicle Services
Cedar Garage in Worthing
Gumtree 4x4
SLR in Haslemere
Petersfield Garage Services
Keith Gott

Most have access to LR servicing online thingy so any LR warranty will not be impacted Visitor from fullfatrr.com

i know as it’s only oil and cabin filter but as it’s still under warranty I thought I would treat it Lol 😜

Treat it to what?. Treat it to to a thorough service at an indie and be kind to your wallet. As we’ve read so many times at service time from others, stay away. Thumbs Up 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Exactly. Giving a LR dealer a pocket full of your money to have them do a Censored poor job is not "treating it".

Get thee to a decent indie, save yourself some money and get a proper job done properly. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

It needs to go back to the dealer for a few warranty jobs and also needed a service so thought I would get it all done at the same time.
At the time I fought the price was reasonable as they wanted £200+ for the same service on my 2012 SDV6 but once I looked in to it I've since realised it's expensive for what they're doing. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

They are taking the Censored to be frank!
Any vat registered garage that uses genuine parts and follows the LR schedule (PDF copies on here somewhere) can do it and your warranty will be unaffected Thumbs Up
Get the warranty items done under them for free and then get the service done elsewhere and save a wad of cash

I've always used an independent up till now but as this was under 3 years old and still under warranty I thought I would use the main dealer. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

Topix will give you the actual service schedule for your chassis number for each service. As long as you specify exactly to LR specs using LR parts then go to an Indy any day then you could treat it to some nice upgrades Joined the X5 45e club

The main thing I was put off by using a independent this time was that the few I spoke to in my local area all said they had never had a SVR in before but surly it's not that much different to a normal one.

This didn't inspire confidence, next year it will be going to a independent ! 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

Put them on the spot & ask why they are overcharging you. Chances are, you may still get it for less than online quote

And if you're towards the East of West Sussex, then the Thatched Garage near Uckfield, or my favourite - Groombridges in Heathfield (with free courtesy car). They employ proper mechanics who know the cars well Robin
