Cost of brake fluid and vehicle inspection services
Last Friday I bought my M5 from a dealer about 150 miles from home. I'm very pleased with it so far but when I test drove the car, I noticed two services outstanding. These were "Statutory vehicle inspection" and "Brake fluid".
We had agreed that these services would be carried out before I collected the car but they were not. I think this was a simple mistake rather than a deliberate omission. If the dealer were local to me, I could just take the car back to them and have them do the service but due to the distance, that would mean a 300 mile round trip and a whole day wasted so I'm not going to do that. I phoned the dealer this afternoon and I'm still waiting to hear back but I presume the easiest option is for them to pay me the cost of the services. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for these two (apparently minor) services? |

Thank you, that's useful. They did do the MOT so that must just be a matter of telling the car that it's been done. I had hoped that the brake fluid service was a small one. I'll just try to get £100 from the dealer.

I have paid £110 for the brake fluid change and £50 for the inspection
These are reduced rates though as the brake fluid should be £150, the inspection was also reduced as they are changing the oil at the same time. I don't think they have a service book anymore as its all visible on the I-Drive. |
