Oil Service Costs - £800?!!

Try Lloyd BMW. You can use their online booking system. Just key in your reg details and decide whether you want just an oil service or if you want plugs replaced too.
I had my E89 35i serviced in Carlisle last week. £209 for oil service, £390 if you want plugs etc done as well.

Workshops look great and they are pretty much 100% focus on BMWs..about £80 an hour labour rate..

There scheduling algorithms need revising…well at least for larger jobs.. :tumbleweed: :thumbsdown:
He posted a pic of your car in the garage on his social. I thought I recognise that one! :thumbsup:

It was an instagram story. With another BM in a rare colour.

£800 for an oil change is an utter p**s take, absolutely scandalous.... :x At least Dick Turpin wore a mask and made no bones about his intentions. It's literally a 15 minute job on a ramp.

I’ll give them a call today just for the craic. The online booking system is generic now. I plugged in the details of my 56 plate ///MC and an 18 plate M4. £664 vs £222.
They aren’t interested in old cars
