MG ZS EV 2022 model MK2 LR first service - A tale of lies etc.
Booked car service in April 2024 and agreed date was 14th June 2024 and cost for first service was £64 and if I brought it in at 08:15 it would be ready at 11:00.
June 14th comes around, bring it in. Lady says price is £129.
They give me a link to track progress. My partner takes me for a breakfast, and we look around local shops. The tracker hasn't moved. We go for some lunch and the tracker moves 3 out of 4 segments.
2pm comes around and I can see my car parked up near the front. and I return and they say it's ready.
I challenge the price and say I have an email from your chap standing over there quoting £64, and his business card with the price and date on the back.
The lady relents and says OK, it's £64 and charges me that.
Other than a lot of visual checks - brakes, tyre thickness etc, DC charge, AC charge, change washer fluid, I have no idea what they did for 6 hours and £64. They did a sloppy interior vacuum and exterior wash. They say it includes the continuation of the breakdown cover etc. Thus far they haven't supplied an invoice.
How does this price compare with other people?
