Hi all,
So last year I had a major service done from Fiat on our 2018 500 1.2 currently on about 10k miles. The dealer recently rang to say that our service is due soon and that it will be a minor service, which I think still costs abit much just for a "Visual" check of things from what I remember when they showed me the prices last year.
They had also noted the front brakes as being an "amber" warning and have advised this to be addressed for this years service.
Now, Im not going to take it back to them for any work as I think dealers are just a waste of money compared to what a private specialist will charge. I wanted to ask if anyone who doesnt take their car to the dealer for service do you still get a "visual check service" done from a private garage?
I'm thinking to atleast get the oil changed and maybe the air and pollen filter even if its a minor service and then next year do another major service including brake fluid, which was done on the last major service.
Whats everyones opinion on this and what do you guys usually do?
