Just had the mazda serviced today at the local main dealer.
Had all fluids changed, oil and brake fluid.
Paid the bill £420 (ouch) and went home. Anyway noticed that the spark plugs were replaced as well, but these were done last year they are a 60k mile item, and we have only done 9k miles since the last service.
So called them and they conceded that they shouldn't have been done.
So i got a £101 refund 8) 8) and they said..........................................

it just shows you how ridiculously expensive main dealers are..my local garage will do a full service(including spark plugs)for £150.....
the prices north v south should be taken into consideration too though....my interim service for my van was £80..... ;D
-
£80 for an oil change is still a p7ss take tbf
-
Probably Platinum Tipped Plugs at that price, and possibly a v6 engine?
-
£80 for an oil change is still a p7ss take tbf
why is it?they still have to provide the oil and filter....saves me getting my hands dirty..i couldnt be bothered doing it myself......

Thats even worse , £101 for 1 spark plug ;D
-
hahahahah nothing wrong with a Demio! ;D ;D
Its a Mazda 6 2.5 Petrol Sport. 2010 Reg. I know its cheaper to go with an independent garage; but I (the wife) bought the car just as it turned 3 years old back in 2013 and it had full main dealer history then; and i thought you know what I am going to keep servicing at main dealer (stupid to a lot of people i know) as at that point it was the newest car id ever owned in my life ;D
I have to say; that Guildford Mazda have been very good. Single biggest expense was a gearbox rebuild last year at 130k miles as the input shaft bearings were getting noisy; and that was at Guildford Transmission Services which was around £1k; Guildford Mazda wanted £3995+vat for a new gearbox and even I wasn't going to go down that road. Clutch was replaced at 115k miles; £600 main dealer which isn't bad, considering i was getting quotes from my local independent for £800.
Its £20+vat per spark plug :o BTW!+ Yes it does appear to use MAGNETI MARELLI Iridium Plugs.
