!!!!! Nissan servicing costs rocketing !!!!!
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2018 12:29 pm
The reasonable cost of servicing a Nissan Qashqai was one of the reasons I bought mine.
In 2016 that meant a Minor Service was £149 and a Major Service was £239. That was comparable to what I'd been paying Skoda.
In 2017 when I had a Major Service at Wessex Gloucester, the costs were £159 and £249 - OK, a small increase of £10.
I've just booked it in for the 2018 minor service at Wessex Gloucester and the website quoted £219 - I nearly fell off my chair!
What can possibly have resulted in this change - apart from it possibly being a "tax" to recoup warranty costs?
Then I checked at Nissan and https://www.nissan.co.uk/ownership/niss ... -care.html states:
Minor Service = £199 - Major Service = £259. (These are for petrol models - diesel costs are quoted at £219/£319)
Googling < Wessex Garages servicing cost > pulled up a page I hadn't seen before - https://www.wessexgarages.com/nissan/se ... vice-care/
That states: "STARTING FROM JUST £149 FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, £199 FOR PETROL AND £219 FOR DIESEL" and also quotes the £199/£259+£219/£319 prices as Nissan's website. Though confusingly they also state:
No matter how old your Nissan is our prices are fixed. You simply choose from a major or minor service for a petrol from £215, diesel from £250 or EV from £199 Nissan, and in return receive fantastic added benefits.
ADDED BENEFITS
Courtesy car (or we’ll arrange transport for you).
Vehicle Assessment Video via email, identifying any required work so you can make an informed decision.
Approved Quality Parts fitted by Nissan Trained Technicians.
Free Vehicle Software Updates.
Ahha! Perhaps Wessex are trying to charge me for a diesel service! Despite the fact I booked with my car registration number which the website recognised.
Nevertheless even £199 is a heck of a rise from £159 last year. 25% !!!
