If you’ve only done 3000 miles in a year and you don’t use it/can’t afford it, can you look into returning it?
Especially if it’s only done 3000 miles. Really pisses me offIt’s a complete con and rip off. All they do is drop your oil and refill and replace filters etc. a year old car shouldn’t even need a service. Tell them
To stick it up their arse. I wouldn’t be having it serviced after a year and I sure as shit wouldn’t be paying hundreds of pounds for it! Daylight robbery.
That seems pretty expensive! Are you tied into a service with them? This article explains the difference between a service and MOT and average costs: https://www.theaa.com/driving-advice/service-repair/car-servicing-complete-guideHi all.
I’m just having a “debate” (argument) with my husband about my car service.
It’s coming up to one year old we got it brand new. It’s only done 3000 miles and my dealership want £320 for a first service. It just feels like such a huge rip off.
It’s hire purchase and I’m tempted to get rid of it. It runs fine. It doesn’t go anywhere. Im on maternity leave so I can’t even afford it.
does anyone have any experience of them devaluing your car because it didn’t have a service. I feel like they’ve got me over a barrel here
Is it really worth it?
i hate cars
I said that to Mercedes’ but they like you need to check with finance these places don’t half try & screw you over I swear. I don’t even think till need anything doing after 3000 milesThat seems pretty expensive! Are you tied into a service with them?

If it’s a new car with such a low mileage the service should be really minor. Have you tried checking the cost with an independent garage?
Yeah I did ask if I can get it done anywhere.You can void the warranty by not getting the correct servicing, if you returned the car you may get a lower price for it as you’ve effectively screwed the rest of the warranty away.
Might be worth asking if they do a service plan to make it cheaper or seeing if there’s a Merc specialist in your area, usually ex merc techs who’ve left the company but know what they’re doing
That was another option but I go back to work (on maternity) in a few months so it will be used a lot more especially as we’re not gonna be working from home any moreIf you’ve only done 3000 miles in a year and you don’t use it/can’t afford it, can you look into returning it?
