...'Main Stealers'!

All pretty much the same.

70,000 mile 'A' service on my 2004 SL350 including brake fluid change, quoted £435.

Followed the online ESS the Stealers use and did it myself for £80...

^This. I tried letting my daughters take their own cars to garages but it's hopeless, garages just steal money off them. Really annoying as they're approaching 30 now and I still have the hassle of sorting out their cars for them. Nothing has changed - had a bad experience many years ago when I was busy so wife took her car for MOT. Failed on random stuff and "wasn't safe to drive". Nothing wrong with it and it passed fine when I took it somewhere else.
My wife hates going to garages (main dealers or otherwise) because of the "You're only a woman, you won't understand attitude".

Reckon that's the last thing the Service Manager would want to hear!
He'd probably run, and refuse to pick up a phone for the next month or so.

When we had an issue with our VW, the service manager avoided VW Customer Service for a month, to their clear frustration. Didn't help me though, they still sided with him. Car goes to an indie now.
