Just been quoted £946 which includes £54.85 MOT for my Ducato based 2019 Adria to be Serviced and MOTd at a reputable garage. Only done 5000 miles but apparently it has to have a 60000 Service. Grateful for any comments...
 
Assuming that is excluding VAT that is about 6 hours worth of work at £110 per hour plus parts and air, pollen and diesel filters, oil change etc. Never ever paid anything like that at my local commercial truck garage where mine is done!

Apart from the lovely Cam Belt change (every 5 years) my (independent) garage recommends a full service (£350) and a short service (£150) alternate years on less than 5k miles a year.

My 4 year service with MOT at Adams Morey was £876 (includes the clutch fluid change which is part of the 4 year service).

Merc first service £200 + vat , which I don't think too bad ( although I presume only dropping oil)

4 years old serviced with comformatic fluid change for £700 inc vat on the 12th sept. Adams and Morley Portsmouth. Highly recommend

Been quoted €560 inc VAT for a full service by Iveco in Bamberg, wanting to change brake fluid which was only changed last year so will be cheaper than that.

Is that an auto first service and was that at mileage or age?, should include an auto transmission oil/filter change in my experience of my first 2 MB vehicles, current one not due yet.

I thought the jump to 60k miles service would seem to suggest that, Sticky Biscuit, what age is your van ?
It's a 2019. They didn't mention Campbeltown in the quote but I imagine it includes the Cambelt. I am not at all technical minded but what gets me is that it only has 5000 on the clock but apparently it is supposed to have have a 60K Service

I forgot that included air con re-pressure.
£100 parts, £50 MOT £1hr job so £800 or so depending on whether VAT's included or not
Where does the 1 hour come from?

Cambelt change is usually mileage related or if low mileage, age related as the belts deteriorate over time. Not sure of the time interval for a Ducato, but it's usually around 5 years ?

I thought they charged just over £600.
The invoice is with the motorhome in storage but I think their labour rate went up earlier this year. I also forgot I asked them to sort out the air con.

Labour rate it £115 + vat so £138 used to be £75 + vat.
Sounds like you copped a couple of hours labour in the air con, or if regassed thats not cheap with the new gas they now use.

Wow , that sounds expensive . I just had a full service at an independent using all original fiat parts and paid £530 incl vat and all parts . That included the fiat recommended oil which is a silly price of £14 per litre ! Ouch.

Our Ava (Adria Matrix on a 2017 Fiat Ducato 2.3 multijet 150) is currently in at our local Fiat Professional garage for its annual service - quoted GBP420 +VAT for the service and 693+VAT for the cambelt. Total 1335 inc VAT (+ MoT) And it needs a new airbag ECU! 😨
And I’ve had to ask them to change the brake fluid because that’s not in the service(?)

This is a quote I have just had from our local Iveco/Fiat Commercial garage for the Comfortmatic gearbox fluid change etc.
They get charged 140.00 to hook into the online Witech system.
