Long story short. Have a series 8 Ducato, which has been back to Fiat on 3 occasion, trying to sort the engine management light keep comming on, and has been back in again this week, and they have now put a new dpf filter on it (under warranty), so hopefully will now sort it.
Anyway, as it is comming up 12 months old, I ask them to change the oil and filter. Yes, I know it’s 2 year servicing etc, but I am of the old school where I like to change the oil every 12 months whatever.
anyway, collected the vehicle yesterday afternoon and paid the bill for the oil change. She must have seen my jaw drop, £307.14. £152.90 + vat =£183.48 was the labour part.
Now as the vehicle was already on the ramp/over the pit etc, how long would it actually take to drop the oil, change the filter and re-fill.
I’m all for paying a fair price and the going rate, but came away somehow feeling that someone was pi@@ing down my back and telling me it was raining
Just thought it was a little on the high side. Certainly won’t be taking it back for its 1st big service.
