My 24k / 2 year service is due in a month, first quote from local Perrys Fiat dealer is £199, reasonable? I don't have aircon.

Couple hundred doesn't sound too bad to me for a 2nd year service. More involved than the 1st year.

My father has a new Ford Fiesta and was charge £175 for the 1st service and I thought Fiat/Alfa was pricey. I've told him to take it to the local friendly mechanic from now on.

I paid around that much, about £180-ish i think, so comparable

Is it worth marking anything to see if it gets changed as on my last service I don't think they touched a thing!

Had another quote from my nearest dealer £270.....£70 more!! for same job.

I have the same car but a 3dr and it cost me 217 punds

It seems a common misconception that you have to go to a main dealer for servicing im sure you can use an indpendent as long as they use dealer parts but dont know how dealer would react for warrnty repairs :chin:

Dealer can't say anything,aslong as book is stamped/fiat parts used by VAT registered garage it's fine.It will be checked if a 3rd yr warranty claim is made so make sure independent garage is vat reg or you will be liable in a claim situation.

As T14086 states

EU law states that as long as OE service schedule and genuine parts are used at a VAT registered garage warranty cannot be refused by dealerships.

just to compare prices, a peugeot 206 1.416v 20,000 mile service costs £117 at a main dealer - fiat service prices are high!!!!!!
