Given that it’s more than what I pay to get my Ferrari serviced, and that this car isn’t really driven much (3-4K a year as it’s aime of 6 cars in our household), I am considering going to kwik-fit or halfords - both quoting me around £250 for the equivalent service (no idea whether the service parts are same as boesch oem). Am I nuts?

Alternatively- I could just get them to do a minor service for £300... but would they refuse to reset the service schedule light then?? Claiming I haven’t done the recommended service?

Thanks for your advice

If you are being quoted £600 for a single service, then I am definitely buying the 3 year service package offered for £599 when I get my new car later this year. Why more people don’t look ahead when purchasing, I will never know.
