Fiat servicing - help!

[debsyn]

My Punto needs its second year service, but I've been told it will cost £202. Compared with the £138 for the first year service, I think this is a bit extortionate!

Does anyone know whether under the warranty you have to go to the Fiat Dealer to get it serviced or can you go to a normal garage (and get it serviced for £120...)?

Thanks!

you can use any VAT registered garage as long as the use OE spec or equivelent parts from what i have read on the forum. check out the stilo section as there are definatly of posts about this

Thanks for that! Couldn't get a straight answer anywhere else...

Reason being is because the 2nd year service is more detailed & includes plugs etc.

A service sheet for the New Punto is here:

Presume it is still valid, and shows the extra work to be completed.
