I would say that sounds pretty good for a service & the last time i got a car MOT'd it was £50 so i think thats good too.
This is in the small print! Iv copied this off the Vauxhall Service Club page:

"Offers apply to genuine Vauxhall service and repair work on your registered Vauxhall at participating Retailers only .....Not valid in conjunction with any other offer"

Link to the vauxhall page with T&C's.

It actually states this on the Fixed Price Servicing page:








"For a limited time, if your Vauxhall is over 3 years, get an interim service for £149"Link to the Fixed Service Website Page:http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/owners_services/parts_servicing/car-servicing-mots.html#ServicePlansSeems like the Fixed Price Service is an existing offer so you cant use it with the Service Club membership discount.Only thing i can think of is that the MOT isusuallyaround £55 and your getting 50% off that. the price quoted of 27.44 seems to be the correct price with Service Club Membership. See link to MOT's below & description of discount:http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/owners_services/parts_servicing/car-servicing-mots.html#ServiceClub

I did get discount on the service , allegedly fixed price . Depends who you speak to , and how they apply the letter of the law .

 

I've just been quoted £200.00 for my first service at around 9500 miles. I asked for a breakdown on costs and was told they can't do that. what a rip off!

 

Why not try booking your service with the above links i posted? it might work out cheaper? also, call around,play dealers against each other. Oh and join the Service Club as you get a discount & money off voucher for joining.

Don't vehicles have to be two years old, to qualify for the Service Club?

 

Yes- but my dealer obliges !

 

My car is less than two years old,and I joined the service club , and had it serviced recently, the dealer charged me less by booking through them than through the club. They told me that there was one standard charge with the service club no matter where you are in the country, but that depending on what part of the country you live in could mean that you could pay less through the dealer than with vx. They did however honour the £20 voucher from vx, bringing the cost down to £200 .the cost they told me was standard was £289 and would only qualify for a 15 o/o discount, so it worked out cheaper with them. Now beginning to wonder whether they were telling me porkies about the standard cost as the price arst06d was quoted is a lot cheaper than mine

 

The first/third services are interim and charged at around £145.The 2nd service is Main
and charged at around £200-£280 according to your post code at the main dealership.
2nd Service Costs - Vauxhall Mokka Forums - Page 1

 

Mine was a second service, so price was reasonable based on some of the prices I see others were quoted, so apologies to my dealer for thinking he was telling me porkies

 

Mines is coming due for its third annual service along with its first MOT. Looking around (not at Vauxhall) it seems like the thick end of £200 seems to be about the going rate. Having looked at the service booklet there doesn't seem to be much in the third year Interim service so think I might just do it myself, that way I'll know it's been done right and save myself a few quid because there's places advertising MOT for half price..

 

Yup, the oil is quite cheap as well and at least you’ll know it’s the right oil. I didn’t bother buying their forte oil flush I just use the STP stuff from ecp. I use genuine filters though they arnt too pricey

 

Vauxhall dealers price for the genuine filter is £30 - which is outrageous. I got someone who was on holiday in America to go into the local Chevrolet dealers and get them, price was $27.64 plus $2.14 sales tax for two filters. He also got me 2 Fram filters over there for about half that price. Why are we so ripped off in this country?

 

You could save an extra couple of quid buying "genuine" oil of an auction site, recycled engine oil blended with cooking oil, and end up with an engine like the one in the oil light thread!

 

Tell you the truth I was thinking of using the wife's salad spinner thingy with a pair of her old tights around the outside and just recycle the oil, save the planet while I'm at it But I've seen lots of threads with people saying they've bought genuine Dexos oil on Ebay with a picture of the can showing the Dexos label so how can you go wrong?

Well, Dexos is a scam by GM according to several of the oil conmpanies, GM doesn't test the vendors oil to check it conforms to specification, they just charge a licencing fee and list them as approved.

 

It's not just Dexos every brand has its imposters, perfectly made fake cans filled with junk.

 

So that's why my valve timing gear looks like this, I've a good mind to go back to Arulnod Clark and complain

 

Hope its a heavy duty salad spinner!

 

Just a thought - if I service the Mokka myself, is there a service light that needs to be reset or do I just need to reset the oil life remaining to 100%?

 

Just the oil life.

 

Thanks, no probs then. Got the filter already just need to get some of the other bits together

 

Makes me feel young, only car i set some of those up on was a mates Mini. By then it was all changing with an ECU controlled spark, but my Cavalier sri had a distributor cap still but the ECU controlled the timing.

 

Choice of two oil filters, if you don't know which one and no other transport you need both.

 

It's the Hengst filter I've got (see pic). The old filter in the pic is the one which Arnold Clark claimed they renewed only 24 hours earlier.

 

Lucas points didn't fit Vauxhalls, you need AC Delco!

 

Just threw that one in to see if you were awake. Lucas didn';t manage too well with their spark plugs either for Vauxhall/Bedford from memory teh J8 the J12 and the UJ12 ultra short reach plugs didn't do as well as the AC plugs
EDIT: Wasn't Lucas that made the plugs, it was Champion..
