Do BMW publish the service costs anywhere ?

I've got a horrible feeling I've just been shafted ...

Telephoned and gave them car details, mileage etc. and i was given a quote around £220

I booked the car in and told it only needed brake fluid changing £100

After I dropped the car of they messaged me to say it was going to be £469 excluding the brake fluid change which was not due till August.

when I queried all the mis-information the price came down to £378

To cap it all they charged me for washer fluid despite me filling it to the brim minutes before I dropped it off

This makes the service plan look like a great deal.

Makes BMW look like theifs

[....,,,,..,,..]

A lot of dealerships will either price match or undercut for servicing.

Also things like washer fluid, get chatty with your parts guy, he sits on his own all day, make a point of saying high when you pop in to order bits etc or just in passing.

Plenty freebies or decent discount IF you ask

If they are need to make up the £2 screen wash they must be desperate

The cost for a service depends on the mileage/age of the car, and what the onboard computers are saying needs doing.

However, that could be a little excessive. The last service on my old E91 318d was oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, brake fluid, and the total price was about £270.

Some numpty reversed into mine before Christmas and drove off. Fortunately the damage was minimal but it did smash the reflector strip.

Car went in for its "quality enhancement" and I asked them to fix the reflector as well. They charged me for the part which is fine but also £10 labour to fit it??

It basically just snaps into place....

Couldn't be arsed to argue tbh but it did seem a bit like they were taking the piss as if I'd know id have "fitted" it myself.

Does make me glad I have a service pack for the routine stuff.
