Panda Servicing Costs!!!

[Chill33]

HI I'm new to the site from Cornwall. I am still in shock!! Bought my Fiat Panda My Life brand new in September 2011. Just rang the dealer as it is due for a service and been advised that the cost will be £328!!! How can that be right? I bought a small simple car for cheap motoring - this is Dick Turpin territory! The car is just 2 years old and done approx. 16k miles. However I am told I need a 3 year service and this is the cost. Can't pay it, won't pay it!! But they say it will invalidate my warranty?

Hi, and welcome to the forum,
took you a while to find us..

for warranty you DO need a service , BUT it doesn't have to be at a FIAT garage

you CAN ring around different FIAT delaers , they wil all quote different prices,
however a FIAT / Alfa indy Should be cheaper and a more expert / caring job done,

any vat registered garage can do the service, you'll be able to half that price

or if you are at the end of warranty,
do the service yourself, for @ £60,
