I was told by a Vauxhall dealer that Vauxhall take a cut out of servicing charged by their dealers, whatever, a mixture of ridiculous pricing and phantom faults seems to typify them these days.
Its a shame, when I used to do my own work, Masterfit used to give some realistic prices for awkward work that was beyond my abilities/equipment and the Birkenhead one did some quality work.
I have had a number of occasions since, at another Masterfit, where I was charged for time that was 3 times longer than the time the car was being serviced and some dubious faults that magically appear between me dropping it off and them looking at it.
