Dropped Yaris Off For Service....

[mrtitty]

...asked them how much i should expect to pay

£240 and £48 for brake fluid change, so all in about £300.

Do you recon they are taking the p1ss?

[minidoughty]

yep

[Chyownster]

brake fluid change, lol, what service is it and what Yaris (miles etc) £48 for brake fluid change, i love the way thatthey always tag that on!

[Demonic Angel]

Yes!

You can shop around for servicing and get a cheaper price elsewhere, or barter with them for a better price.... I wouldn't pay that much for a Yaris to be serviced - no way jose!

[alanbradley]

Which service is it?

(but it still sounds like a lot)

A

[seveer unaek]

Should be £240 for everything! And even then that's too much!

[mrtitty]

it is a 2004 tsport with 20'000 miles

[Chyownster]

Thats far to much imo, tell them to leave the brake fluid alone, doesnt need changing

[mrtitty]

told them to not bother with brake fluid, but the bloke stands by the fact it is £240 for the service.

[Demonic Angel]

I'm guessing its being serviced as we speak then.... no chance of changing your mind??

[Blue84]

I can't remember what you said before, but who are you using?

[mrtitty]

that was rayleigh.

They also called up and wanted £120 for 2 new tyres as mine were 1mm under the legal limit....so the total would have been £400 to service the car lol madness.

in the end came to £220. Not happy....but least it is done lesson learnt

[Blue84]

You know what happened to me at Rayleigh :ffs: :ffs:

Never again! :!Removed!:

[Robie]

I just paid (literally an hr4 ago) £290 pound for full service and mot including:

Front brake pads.

Drivers wiper blade.

Free valet.

i thought this was terrible but having read what has been said above it seems fair. Still dosent help with the insurance due this month. (I saved 500 quid and got it at £760 from Admiral who own the company who previously quoted me (elephant))

The brake fluid change is an evil trick - no need for it until 40k. It even says that in your Yaris manual!!!

Also, if are willing, you could do the brake fluid change urself. Its not hard, i;ve done it on my old car before.

Brake fluid starts to go after 2/3 years.

As for pads and wipers, either DIY or take it to ATS / National or similar :)
