My two-year-old Vauxhall Meriva is due its second service - the first one I will have done since buying the car at just over a year old.
The dealer quote is about £320.
Seems a lot to me.
I grasp the second service is a 'big' one, but I wonder what will be done to justify the price.
We all have to earn a living, but a big service on my previous Fords was £200 or less.
Should be comparable in my view, Fords and Vauxhalls are both nothing special, just popular European family motoring.
Both cars are diesels and both serviced/will be serviced at a franchise dealer in the same area.
