That's not a bad price IMO 1½ hours labour to supply and fit two filters and change the oil. Take it to a main stealer you'll thank your garage for the cheap labour charge. |

10litres of millers 5w30 fully synthetic oil (vito capacity is 9.1 litres) £58, paper oil filter £4.80, STP oil flush £3.99. Sump plug is easily accessible, You don't even need to jack the vehicle up to do it. Oil filter element is doddle too, right at the top of the engine. 5mins work to do, let it drain 1/2hour, 10 mins to refit/refil. Good for another 12,500 miles. |

Ah, but go to a main dealer and you'll get a 'free' air freshner and they'll top up your screenwash with tapwater for no extra charge ! They might even check your headlights in case theres a blown bulb you were unaware of  If you're lucky you might get a free road test so they can check the steering and brakes, that just happens to pass by the sandwich shop at lunchtime.
