Hi Guys
My first visit to the forum but I was previously on THAOC. Forum looks great so well done to those who are responsible.
My Accord is due it's 125k service and my local Honda dealer initially wanted 325 incl VAT before coming down immediately to £270 incl VAT when I expressed concerns about the price.
This seems steep bearing in mind the last service was a major service (112k) and that only cost just over £300 at the same dealer.
What price should I be paying?
The car has a full Honda service history. Should I keep this going or save some cash and go to a local garage that I trust and have used before? I'm thinking the car (2006/06 2.2 sport with Sat Nav) is worth perhaps £4.5k and I expect to keep it for another 18-24 months at which point it will have £150k miles and probably not be worth much more than £2k at best. I'm thinking the £100 or so extra for a dealer service perhaps isn't worth it?
Any advice welcome.
Cheers
