The 6,000 mile/12month service on my 2002 620ie was £258.05p excluding VAT. Of that £192.50 was labour, i.e 5 hours @ £38.50 per hour.
Is this reasonable? The hourly rate probably is, but I suspect that the dealer would always round up the time to the nearest whole hour - if we are honest we probably would do the same.
I don't object to paying for good quality work because I expect to be well paid also! The most important thing is to find a dealer who you can trust to do a good job.
Who said that motorcycling was supposed to be a cheap hobby?
Just my two cents worth - might be total bo**ocks mind.
