Indie garage or main dealer? Is it a major service or a wee one?

A Google search will bring up sample prices from other garages, Vauxhall websites etc.

Sounds OK to me, usual main dealer rip-off prices.

You could always take it to a good indie mechanic and insist that they use genuine Vauxhall parts and/or do whatever is needed to keep it within any manufacturer's warranty that's left.

Forza might be able to recommend somewhere.

The main dealers charge a premium for all the staff and so on, but unless you need to go there then there's no reason to. Just make sure the indie mechanic keeps the car within warranty.

TBH, when it comes to servicing and repairs main car dealers specialise in taking money off the gullible or those who have enough money and don't care about paying over the odds. I'd steer clear.

The finance, insurance (gap and general), SupaGuard and various other ropey deals they put on their car sales are a bit of a tax on the daft an'aw.
