I have been to 3 garages today checking on service costs and they range from £313.24 to £269.54. This is for the 24000 mile one. It is a 1.9 JTD and has air con as well as this effects the price so they tell me.
Could you just tell me whether this is a fair price to pay for this service.

any info would be appreciated,
Thanks

£270.00 sounds ok for 24k on a JTD, and aircon adds 0.4 to the labour time- this is for fitting a pollen filter.

Different dealers charge differently as there 'Dealer' running costs differ from dealer to dealer.

Just been quoted £280 for 3rd year service on the Abarth?! Booked in now anyway, including 'free' courtesy car....

Make sure the brake fluid change is inclusive and not charged as an extra.

Thanks for that - she did say it was a pretty inclusive service, so will mention that to them when I go.

getting mine serviced tomorrow morning for £150 inclusive, at a main fiat dealer. it's a 2004 stilo, JTD Dynamic and its the 24k service.

Just been through this for my 12k JTD service. I did a thread on it but basically prices ranged form £160 (GMD Durham) to £263 (Autoworld Sheffield).
Finally I took it to Wakefield Diesel Centre. They did it for £120 and used genuine Fiat parts.

I'm pretty sure I paid £250 for my 24k service including new front brake pads (too lazy to change them myself ).

I paid £ 260.00 at Fiat Slough.
They have told me it is gone up to £360 from now on.
This is the 2nd year service or 24K for a 1.8.

Very expensive indeed.

Ive booked mine in for monday for the 24k Mines a 1.4 active so any ideas what its gunna rob me by?

Um no. But I'm loving your sig pic

I've been quoted "around £300" for a 36K service on my 1.8 at JCS Kegworth. Not sure what it includes exactly but will check it out beforehand (in 2.5K miles). I'll miss not using Reg Vardy Leicester as you get your engine cover & battery box covers broken there absolutley free of charge and they didn't reset the service indicator! How I love good customer service!

Just dug out my invoice, Stu. I paid £290 for my 36k service at Fiat-Worcester about a month ago, so that sounds about right . I had a free courtesy car also (as this service centre is about 30 miles away from my home...).

Reading Fiat quoted me £350 for the 36k service on my 1.2 gotta be having a laugh really. Gonna have to have a proper shop around when it comes to its next service.

Do i have to be worrired about my sub box and amp in the boat for when it goes in for serveice too ?

Stilojoe let me know how much it costs as 24k is my next service. Cheers

No prob will do

No StiloJoe you dont have to worry, if you let the reception know then they can tell tech and he will make a decision as to wether he can safely check the spare wheel for you without causing damage to your gear. To be honest most techs will avoid moving any expensive looking equipment in the car for fear of being accused of damaging it.
