CSL Service

[TommyR]

just had a quote to do service on the csl im looking at.
inspection 2

1500 quid!!!!!

im shocked.

any way to avoid this? will going to a dealer outside of dealer network effect resale price

thanks lads

Shop around you'll get it cheaper, try murkets or Elms.

Going outside dealer network shouldn 't affect value but might exclude the fussy types from buying. Or use the money you save to sell your car cheaper than the rest, will fly out the door

Remember that you cannot put a warranty on a car if it has been serviced outside of the dealer network.

Ring around, would expect to be able to get insp 2 done for a lot less than that!

Cooper in Reading were £750-800 when I last had an InspII on an E46 M3. Other local franchises were £200-300 more at the time.

As said above,shop around you'll get it cheaper than that

yep

did a deal as it seemed stupid to do a insp2 when engine had done 0miles so apparently (I was told) you just did non engine stuff like change the pollen filter and spend 20 minutes ragging up and down the A14

(just kidding about the A 14, I think)
