Talking First Service Today

So i took my car in for a service today to get the oil and a/c filter changed.

Got a call at lunch time to tell me i needed new brake pads brale discs and wiper blades. Was not very happy with this seeing as the car has only done a touch over 20.000 miles.

Anyway i was currently in the process of fitting my spotlights. I had them mounted but not wired in. When i picked up my car i noticed that they had been wired in and are all working for free by me dealer. i think i may keep that one from them in the future.

nothing i had the wireing loom in my boot and they found it and fitted them for me
i am friends with one of the girls on reception but im sure that didnt help to much.

if you mean the brakes its £300 for disks and pads and they wanted 30 for wiper blades but i already had spare ones so that was zero.
