United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Sumatra Black
First service prices merseyside/ Lancashire

I have been enjoying my Freelander too much since last October so it now needs first service at 15k miles
I have rung around for prices which for an Oil change seem 'silly' even after ten years of Mercs and BM's ownership
Hillendale quoted 'cheapest' at £315
Liverpool LandRover ( specialist ) quoted £120
I would as it's under warranty rather keep it main dealer - anyone had a recent service say within 40 miles of Southport that is a more 'realistic' price?
As always your help is appreciated

Bit further than 40 miles but I always use Guy Salmon in Stockport. Always been strait with me, not the cheapest, but if there was any chance of a repair being warranty they have fought my corner.

I think your right to choose a dealer, during the early years especially. Freelanders are complex bits of kit, with a complicated control system that is/can be updated regularily, dealers would normally do these updates as part of the service - especially if they can back charge LR. The difficulty is getting a dealer that you can trust. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

My experience with Hatfields hasn't been brilliant so I'm interested to know how the service went?

My SD4 was ready for it's first service around begining of June this year so as I travel around the NW I thought I'd compare prices from Dealers 50m from Wirral. This is what I found:

All prices are inclusive of vat, oil, parts etc.
Conway Land Rover, Llandudno £318.78
Guy Salmon, Knutsford £315
Guy Salmon, Stockport £340.09
Hatfields, Liverpool £353.42------reduced on request to £310
Hillendale, Burnley £330
Hunters, Chester £376
Stratstone, Bury £299.95
Williams, Manchester £295

I went for Hatfields as they were the most local and the supplying dealer. Couldn't be bothered with the hassle just to save £15.

Oh and these all included a courtesy car.

Lots of posts on here suggesting that dealers will match a cheaper price if asked. Some will match any approved LR shop within a certain radius.

Yes, decent job - No complaints.
That said, it was a straightforward service with no issues to deal with other than enquired about whether anything could be done about my non-LR towing electrics not sensing the trailer so I get the reversing senors on whenever reverse is selected. They tried some other software (don't know what). It didn't sort the problem but did introduce something else so they had to revert to original s/w. Can't remember the details.
