Quite surprising!
Here in Switzerland, the car is sold with a freeservice (3 years or 100'000 KM) that includes all the liquids (oil, brakes, powersteering), brakepads, wipers, etc.


No fair !! And jolly good bonus for you guys over there Smile

They should have at least offered a one payment 3 year deal like on RR

-s


Lets be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch! Nobody gets 'Free' servicing - its built into the price of the car. Its even better for the dealers because they get paid for the servicing up front!

Our Mini has a thing called 'TLC' cost £100 to specify it as an option. Basically it is a 3 year servicing deal. Who's going to turn that down! (but the car did cost 18 grand)


You are right, it's included in the car's price, but given the more than 5% price decrease on the 2006 tariff in Switzerland (I ordered mine last week based on the 2006 prices) and the "no bad surprise servicing" for the next 3 years I believe it worth the money Smile

Well up date, called around & Chipperfield LR £287 all in with courtesy car!
So booked this!
Went back to Stratstone to cancel, get a call back saying they will drop the £449 down to £287 to keep my business!!

So now I have to go back & cancel Chipperfield! Embarassed

So next time I book a service I guess I will have to phone around get a better quote & go back to Stratstones to get it matched!

Worth a few phone calls then Wink

I will have to do the same when the time comes as my dealer is Stratsone also, so if they want my business they will have to match the best I can come up with.

Why rip people off, they are still making a decent profit at £287

Nick,
I'd stick with Chipperfield, Stratstone were obviously trying to rip you off, don't give them the honour of having your business

Yep I have to agree with you & I would like to switch to Chipperfield, but Stratstone is less than 2 miles down the road! Very convenient especially if anything goes wrong! For now I would like to have the same people look after servicing & warranty work! But it dose stink!
