62.5 K Service For Citreon Xsara Picassp 1.6 Petrol

[steveg]

Hi

 

Have owned my 07 picasso for a year and is due it's next service

 

I don 't drive the car but my wife loves it :)

 

Have been quoted £235 from Citreon dealer I bought car from and £200 @ local independant

 

Have also been quoted £155 from another Citreon dealer Dryden Citroën - Rednal

 

He did recommend new brake fluid @ £44 and air con recharge @ £55 on top of the service making a total of approx £250

 

Is this a fair price ?

 

regards Steve

You cannot really compare prices between garages without comparing the service you are getting, you must compare every aspect of the service. One garage may change the pollen filter one may not? One may use a cheaper oil, my dealer always checks what software is on my vehicle but some garages don't, so although you may be paying £155 (£80 less) compared to £235 you may only be getting half the Service? Best to draw up a check list and tick the boxes when comparing garages.
