Lincolnshire area for comparison.
Are there any recommended service extras you would ask to do? The service estimate includes Millers EP 80/90 so I would have thought Gearbox and TBox oil change is included. It is having the Output shaft replaced so access will be good. |

Price is on the upper side of typical prices, I would expect brake and clutch fluid change to be included for that at a minimum.
Unless you are particularly worried about service stamps for resale I’d consider doing it yourself if you can (the service) but I know it isn’t an option for everyone for various reasons. A 4x4 specialist independent can often be good, as they have an interest in the vehicles concerned. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

I did speak the Landrover who wanted £880 and couldn’t confirm if that was plus VAT! 🤑
It is a major service so understand that more needs to be done. |

You could try D44, but I expect it’s a long old way down for you and fuel may counter the price as well. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

If you were quoted £880 by the Main Dealer for a major service, they have dropped their prices in the last four or five years.
A major service with my local main dealer was always four figures, but then if your quote was plus 20% VAT, that is just over £1K (which with anyones money is either a lot of money or an extremely good service - I will let you choose) I use a local independent to me and £570 for a major service sounds about ok to me. |

Last service on my MY16 at Marshall LR Gloucester in Aug '23 at 19k miles was a 60k / 60 month service and was £456 incl VAT which I was happy with to keep the main dealer history for now, but not sure if that helps

Thanks for all the information.
I have booked with a garage that is a LR 4x4 Specialist and the small team down there have been fantastic in their communication and support. When I did speak to LR they did have a small go at me for being three months late on my 96month service 😂 |

Cambridgeshire ..
I've been quoted (for a £60k service): Garage 1: £1,311.39 Garage 2: £1,252.59 Garage 3: £636.27 Looks like the same stuff in each but with wildly varying prices for parts and labour. None of these is a dealer 
I'm inclined to go with the lowest one. Anyone have any recommendations for this area? Thanks --Ian |

I just looked that this thread to gloat about all that money I am saving servicing my cars myself, even as I am not skimping on parts and fluid cost.
The garage stamps might have perceived value to some, I personally am not seeing with the typically older cars I buy where garage services are not all that outstanding in general and condition is easy to assess also for any future competent buyer. |

It’s very rewarding to do the work yourself, and if you keep receipts, work, date and mileage records I don’t personally think it makes much difference on older vehicles.
As a qualified technician I like to do my own work time allowing, but sometimes it’s just easier to let a good local specialist help out Ride like you stole it!! If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do… 2011 2.4 Puma 90 HT |
