Manchester Service Recommendations
So the time has come for my first service on my 64 plate 90. I knew the dealership service would be a bit steep, but nearly £500!! You've got to be joking, for a few litres of oil and a few filters?! I know there's a bit more to it than that, but for a first service on a 12 month old vehicle with less than 10,000 miles??

I had been quite keen to keep up a dealership service book, but will seriously look at independents if anyone can recommend any in the Manchester area. I used to use a mobile chap recommended through the Disco3 forum when I had a Disco (Iain at Offroad Essentials - but he's no longer servicing vehicles as far as I know), and couldn't fault him. Hoping there are some similar recommendations on Defender2.net?

Cheers

^^^now Guy Salmon, but I always call them Hollindrakes too...Wink They have the same phone number as Hollindrakes and that's what its stored on my phone as.

I found that for servicing costs, I got a better deal from the supplying dealer. In the case of my D4, I got it from Guy Salmon in Sheffield and their price for a B service was £418 (inc MOT) but £625 ( ex MOT) from Hollindrakes/Guy Salmon Stockport.

cheers
