Mine was serviced in last month + I now have stop/ start coming in very frequently as on my old Beemer;
by product of latest s/ware presumably.

If the above 2 comments are directed at my Service Cost of £280 I cannot really see what the problem is ? - Dave ;)

Gel, just using the costs of £249 (new attachment) for example (we have a petrol) that does not seem unrealistic to me, if you buy a vehicle you have to maintain it and that costs. If you look at the cost of £280 we paid this was inc the Service + Loan Car + Wash etc. - so where have I been overcharged we are talking about a difference of only £31 (in another country / varying exchange rate - now very bad) so it looks to me to be OK :roll:

jackdaww, where did you get the about an hour's work from, is this your estimate or actual from Nissan ?

an hour is my guess - i doubt if its much more - could be less !! and this is work an apprentice could do.

assuming (a generous ) £100 (retail) for materials , thats still over £150/hr for a trainee .

perhaps we could hear from some mechanics ...

jackdaww, You are making me work today on this one hour subject. If you take a look at Gel's Service I Checklist you will see there was about 29 Check Points. Now on our Service Plan II there was 42 Check Points and I cannot believe this could be carried out in an hour even by an Apprentice. I was in the Engineering / Maintenance Game (not cars) and I still cannot believe your estimate. ;)
You mentioned earlier in this post that " a minor service is pretty simple stuff" (Service I), did you ever get a lower quotation from your local garage or ATS as a comparison against Nissan Fixed Cost ? Sorry to keep on on this subject but I find this interesting - Dave :lol:

i am pleased to discuss this.

i have a list of service points from westway nissan , a large national dealer network , for major service , cost £249.


checks.

1. body/screen damage - 1m

2. lights/horn - 1m

3. washers/wipers - 1m

4. brake pipes/lines - 2m

5. brake pads - 2m

6. tyre pressures/depth - 2m

7. cooling system leaks - 1m

8. drive belts - 1m

9. fluid levels - 1m

10. clutch cable - 2m

11. battery - 2m

12. handbrake - 1m

13. steering wheel play - 1m

14. seat belts - 2m

15. exhaust system - 2m


actions.

1. change engine oil / filter / washer 10m

2. topup screen wash / antifreeze 1m

3. lubricate door parts 2m

4. change brake fluid / bleed brakes 10m

5. change air / pollen filters 5m

6. road test 10m

7. general preparation - ramp etc 10m


MY (retrospectively unadjusted!) guesstimates appended - aggregate 70mins - could be wrong - either way , i have watched mechanics working and many MOT's , some of these things are done in seconds rather than minutes .

have not yet had chance to take up with my trusty local ats but will certainly do , nissan say they will meet competitors quotes !

jackdaww, thanks for your Service Breakdown times but I think if Nissan see this you will be offered a Job as for me the times are extremely tight. Thanks for your comments - Dave :lol:
