I very much doubt they could invalidate the warranty if you had brake fluid changed at an Indy or even Halfords (if you dare)

We’re all so surprised.....ask a sollicitor / accountant their hourly rate....
not to mention my barber who charges £12 for a 10 minute cut - that’s £72 / hr!

Yes some lawyers are close to £1000 per hour

...with just an office (admittedly a nice office!) and a pen as equipment!

And the typical solicitor or accountant doesn’t have the running costs of a multi-million pound OPC to support. :geek:

No complaints from me, but I would shop around between OPCs if I can save £100+ on the cost of a service/brake fluid change! ;)

Edit: Have just seen Paul’s post. Although some high-powered city lawyers no doubt have expensive offices and pricey staff to support.

Had a friend working at a main dealer (not Porsche) a few years ago and he was expected to do 12 billable hours work in an 8 hour day; just like being at Clifford Chance!

I have a lawyer daughter; she's been working very hard for the past 20 years and is definitely worth a fair reward.

I couldn't even stay awake through the lectures.

Not yet, maybe in 40 years time with plenty of inflation!

Just had a 20000 mile service @ Colchester for 460 + 95 for the brake fluid change. I booked a replacement car and was surprised to get a Lexus NX, I guess the local Lexus Toyota is Jardine’s too. My Dad has been driving Toyota hybrids for years but I just don’t get it. That drone when you put your foot down , just like an old Daf 66.
