My car will be 5 years old at the end of next month so rang the dealer for the service cost to be told 5 years is a B service and £649 but when I read the service book it says A service followed by B service then repeat and the last one in the book 2016 was a B service so is the dealer trying it on as what I'm reading in the service book I only need an A service at £295 ? 2019 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography Velocity blue.

That's what I thought Rob but dealer is telling me the service schedule says five years is a major with fuel air and cabin filters so will cost £649. Wanted to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong from the service book. 2019 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography Velocity blue.

I got quotes from a few dealers. Some quoted for a slimmed down version....some didn't include the DR filter for example.

Question, shop around and get clarity..... :

I've just had my 5 year Service done by LR dealership, and indeed a B service was undertaken.
I will be on the phone tomorrow arguing for a refund for the difference.

Mine had a B service in September last year and has only covered 4K miles since so couldn't understand why it would want another B service 12 months later.

Will ring round a few dealers tomorrow. 2019 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography Velocity blue.

It does seem strange, also like the 5 year service is 80,000 miles service and I'm not even half of that yet.

Mine has only just hit 30k miles. If you go by the service book then it should be an A service so don't know why dealer is telling me B other than to make more money. 2019 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography Velocity blue.

Funny that - spoke to 2 stealers today - first one £596 including Mot @ £55 - then another £696 inc MOT both said 80000 mile service - neither could define A or B service - I'm still awaiting the phone call back from both to confirm service needed

Local independent - ( forum member ) quoted £410 for 5yr service using OEM parts to conform with warranty INCLUDING MOT

I asked a main dealer to break down all items in price because it seemed too cheap. Cross referenced it to the official sheet (see link above) and it was only then I twigged they were not quoting for all items needed. The 5 year service for a 2012 requires the DR filter changing. It's about £75 for the filter.

The last 4 years service are main dealer but at 5 years old would you keep in main dealer or consider a good independent? 2019 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography Velocity blue.

5yr/80k is an "A" service, with transfer box oil replacement an extra charge

I'm getting my 5 year service done in just over a week. Called dealers and they do quoted £550 without transfer box or brake fluid. I asked for a quote to buy services in bulk ie. 3 of them. They quoted £1700
Near me there is an independent that are authorised to do warranty work and used to be a dealer with two franchise's but sold them off and started an indie in the adjoining building to one of the franchise.
Walk in it feels like a dealer, drinks and a series one in the middle of the entrance, but £390 for the same service including transfer oil and brake fluid. They even have Landrover trained technicians and all the Landrover kit, but no dizzy receptionist who has absolutely no interest in cars. MY12 RRS HSE
