I think the going rate for all the dealers round here (Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield, Doncaster) is around £180 p/h incl VAT.
the 3+ scheme does save a load on that but they cut corners as i found out. Far better off with a decent indy unless your on a servicing plan or warranty restrictions. 2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

What's amazing is that they can keep a straight face whilst quoting these sorts of prices. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

An Indy was just under half that price thankfully.
Id had issues with that dealership before, so keeping a straight face isn’t a problem.
One incident stands out, when the workshop/service manager told me 6 jobs to be done on the car were done, naming them individually, a warranty job. When I collected the car. I pointed out to him five that weren’t. He was standing by the vehicle. He didn’t make comment, poker face, just took it back into the workshop.
