I have just been quoted £54.85 for an MoT and £867.78 for a 3 year service including the following parts:-
They are main dealers & say the service will take 3 hours so need the car for half a day.
I have yet to shop around, but what would be considered a reasonable sum?

3rd service is an "A" service, so doesn't need fuel/air filters
And £867 is horrendous. I charge £200 for an "A" service, as do most IndysMy D3 Build Thread

Local dealer does not remove sump drain plug as it’s sucked out through the tube so that would save you £4.

It won’t be that price though, it’ll be another £850 for pads and discs another £1200 for suspension parts and another £150 for the air con service, none of which will need doing but sales are down.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

As DM says you don't renew fuel and air filter on the 3 year service

Does that include the inspection-adjustment of the parking brake?2014 D4 XS
2005 D3 SE - Gone
My car is still under JLR warranty & I assume that anything like that would be included?
If it is serviced by a main dealer what should I ask them to do under warranty?
Update vehicle firmware
Check all recalls have been done
Anything else?
