B Service 2011 Defender 90
Just been quoted £600+VAT for a 'B' Service on a 2yr old (14k Miles) 90 Hard Top.... Confused

Given that I'm telling myself I'm never selling it; and given that it is is good nick with no major issues and just 1 year warranty left - should I just use a local independent that does work to manufacturer spec, and validates warranty? Esp since I'll be using them for the MOT next year? I'm not interested in trade in value so main dealer servicing is irrelevant right?

I've had company cars for years, so had no clue that servicing was so expensive! Surprised

Way over priced. Even by dealers standards IMO. I'd try and find a reliable trustworthy Indy and see what you get from that. Also use Genuine parts only is the best idea.

After using main for my first Defender (18 months old) I used independent from new on all of my new Defenders after that. They used LR parts and I never once had an issue when selling on Defenders or with warranty.

With Defenders, personally, I found our good local independent to be more comprehensive on a service and on checking everything over than main dealer, hence choice.

Cheers

Steve

it might be worth getting quotes and asking for a price match if you want to use the main dealer, I will certainly be trying it on mine is coming up as well same senario, will certainly not be done at a main dealer when its 3 yrs old DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

Aye, It was the first quote I'd asked for. Obvs I'll get more.
I'm ringing back tomorrow to double check it... It was Land Rover in Hudders.
Thanks for the advice all.

I take it that was the main dealer then and not the Huddersfield Land Rover Centre? Have you signed up for Land Rover Allegiance? You can get between 10, 15 or 20% reduction in servicing costs.

Edit to add - I joined through a main dealer by asking in person. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

It was the main dealer. Plucked at random from the 2 or 3 dealers near me. I will take a look at the allegiance link thanks. But I'm also going to call the Land Rover Centre, since I figure I need to use a local, independent from next year anyhow.

Cheers

took my own advice as mines due so I spoke to Stratstone and managed to get it down to £370 including VAT now booked in for the end of March

this along with my good insurance deal off quote me happy has got me smiling at the reasonable cost for defender ownership

working it out the car will cost me about £1000 this year before diesel and depriciation.


Is it worth £20 per week (without a doubt it is) DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy
