60k Service Price

[marcusturbo]

I've got my car booked in for the BIG service at the end of the month. I did a little bit of phoning round the garages for prices and came across something quite interesting.

The two prices quoted were $505 & $925. It started off at the 925 but then another garage asked what the build date was because if it was before May 2010 then the price dropped to the 505. I asked why but he couldn't give me an answer!! Still quoting for the MB mondo.

The only reason that I could come up with was the change to the Power shift auto box.

If any one else has any ideas then let us know just to satisfy my curiosity.

All I need to do before the service is fit some new brake pads all round.
