Reading really take the piss on servicing so will likely go to Swindon as it's not that far down the M4. Might even try Tewkesbury as I went to school in the area and haven't revisited it for nearly 40 years!Wing Commander wrote: ↑Fri Jan 25, 2019 8:25 amOn the other hand, it would be interesting, if asked, how Reading justify charging the £60 extra, above the fixed price servicing cost...!
(Yes, I know not all OPCs are signed up to fixed price servicing, but still...)

Oh, I did. I got a fairly flat response back saying the other OPC was participating in a promotion that Reading wasn't.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Fri Jan 25, 2019 8:25 amOn the other hand, it would be interesting, if asked, how Reading justify charging the £60 extra, above the fixed price servicing cost...!

Hmmm - a ‘promotion’ that most other OPCs also participate in!
Oh well, I suppose they’ll continue to fleece their customers until enough of them take their servicing elsewhere...

I got a price from reading opc for a Recent minor service plus 111 check for extended warranty they wanted £526 plus £256 for 111 check.
Took it to Swindon all done for £430.00
I asked reading how they can justify there prices and was told there labour rate is higher than most and basically take it else where if you don’t like it.

What an appalling attitude from Reading!!
And I very much doubt if technicians in Reading are paid much more than those in Swindon, Bristol, Cardiff or Tewkesbury!

Hi, I have my first service on my Turbo coming March with 16K on the clock.
Im looking at possibly going to East london, Hatfield or any other centres close to the M1.
Which would you recommend? and how long in advance to get a courtesy car? which centre provides good courtesy cars?
Any advise would be great!
