just taken the car tp perrys at parkgate, rotherham and was quoted £150(inc VAT)for my cars first service
the car is 1 year old (in 2days/9th march) and has done a tad over 7200 miles
because my rents have vauxhall cards ill get 10% off the cost
just rang hartwells at sheffield and they quoted me £129
my dads gonna ring round for me today and put up a fuss
he told me hes been in to perrys before in a sui and was treated like royality, and has been in in scruffy jeans and was ignored and treated like dirt
what ahve others paid for their first service on their cars?
mines a vauxhall corsa c 1.2 16v sxi
thanks in advance
mwah!

just got off phone to perrys again, appartently the service at hartwells doesn't include cleaning the injectors and an emissions test
so we're keeping the cost of this service at £135(after the 10% discount)
this servcie includes oil change, cheacking the brakes, new filter, cleaning the injectors, emisssons test and a check of all the saftey features
still interested to know what others have paid tho

bet the injectors dont get touched. Cleaning them prob involves shoving some redex in the tank

thinking on ur absolutly right it is
was just my assumtion that that was the reasoning behind the clutch pedal feeling a lot lighter
the cause of this now is a mystery, unless someone knows what may have been done?
