Vauxhall dealer told me the first services is 3 hours labour time. May be you had three guys on it
Three hours? Does that include waiting time.
Probably told me that to justify the cost. We have it booked in for a Saturday morning and they said they needed it by 9 o'clock to get if finished .
My vans only go in every 2 years so I think it's just a way of making money
My job in the army was servicing the units vehicles, from 1/4ton trailers up to centurion arv's. A service on a Bedford RL class 3 hgv used to take me 2 hours, that was changing all the oils as well.

How much did they charge?
To me nothing. To motability don't know.
My first service was £180.00 plus parts and oils, total of £259.00.
Second was £146.00 plus parts came to £275.00.Edited by: Pondpaul
