Inspection 1 price?

I've bitten the bullet and booked my car into Taggarts in Glasgow for Inspection 1.

They've quoted between £450 and £480 and I wondered if this is reeasonable? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I would say absolutely not. Sounds like an inspection 2 price, just did a quick google:

OK, main dealer will be more, but I wouldn't pay £480 for inspection 1! 2012 SDV8 Vogue SE

Interesting reading! 1 thing that sutprises me is that there's an extra £30 for the RRS S/C, but no mention of the FFRR S/C? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Think it might be worth getting three main dealer quotes. I bought a new key and tried about four main dealers for a price re key and coding and they varied alarmingly. You can then use the info to strike a better deal. they will price match .They seem very keen to get the business.

Alan, K Motors do charge an extra £30 for the supercharged and the TDV8 due to the larger quantity of higher specification oil (?) - or so they told me.

I think the price you have been quoted is a little high, my recent inspection 2 & MOT was quoted £520 by the local stealer (they made it clear that this was there best price and already discounted for me Rolling with laughter ), £450 from one independent specialist and £390 from a third.

Needless to say the independent specialists won Thumbs Up

Got a FULL service done last month at Stratstone Newcastle £400. They also gave me a FREE MOT vouchor when due and a HALF price service next year when due.

Try going on this site www.maindealerdiscount.com and take the quote to your stealer.

Mine was a 120k service so they said they had to charge a bit more Shocked

Was also told that they did not use these anymore, dont know if this is true.

But you have nothing to loose by going in and asking for a discount Thumbs Up

I got mine done at Morrison's the Land Rover dealership in Stirling ….

Sounds far from Glasgow , but it's only about 35 mins up the road , they also do a courtesy car but you have to call to see if they have one available as i am guessing you never bought your car from them ( which i did ).

And if no CC they will run you into Stirling town centre so you can spend the day Xmas shopping Laughing Laughing Laughing

I just got mine done in June …… Thumbs Up

That's handy - I've zlready called them this morning to get a price from them and I'm waiting for a call back. I'm also waiting on a call back from Stratstones in Edinburgh so I have some ammunition to go back to Taggarts with.
