V6 service & MOT cost

[Anonymous]

Oddly the quote I got back was more expensive than using Jaguars fixed service price plan.

So next year I've chosen these people.

Reviews seem good. Will monitor over the coming year.

Good choice. Just had full service there plus had gearbox oil/filter replaced, brake fluid change & Air Con Service. Not cheap.but peace of mind that all done correctly...









They also won’t be loading any updates unless I request. Mechanical work only.

Within warranty, car had been at Derby main dealer. I would ask owners to check what actually gets done at service. More importantly is online record completed.

May I ask how much? Do you have a breakdown of costs?

I've just been quoted £522 for the 5 year service on my V6S, £200 for plugs seems excessive to me! Think I will be questioning that one

i think it is the labour time to get to the plugs that makes it pricey, especially when they are charging upward of £140 p/h + vat

When I had mine serviced, at main dealer, they sent it elsewhere for MOT.
Next day got the dreaded low battery. MOT people must have connected to OBD port.

Need to give credit to dealers when excellent service is given..so here it is.

Matford Exeter,
Great personal service , nice courtesy car with 900 miles on.

Interim 5 year service done at the JLR fixed price of £325, sump oil drain not pumped out. No stupid add ons such as washer fluid or desanitisation.
Plug change 6 plugs (V6) for £88.

Very happy as usual

well done, its what i like to read, positive feedback where it is warranted and honest negative reports if dealer has failed.

Just to revitalise this thread since there was some good information in there.

I just booked my 2014MY V6S in for it's 96month service with my local Jaguar dealer and was pleasantly surprised at the cost, just £535 vs £701 on the Jaguar website. I believe that's for oil, spark plugs and airbox filters. Although now wondering if that's the air pollen filter and not airbox. Jaguar website is very vague, see below. I notice there is a offer on for an oil service at £149 at the moment, so perhaps that explains some of the discount, or could it be that they're discounting older cars now like BMW do. Tried to sell me a service plan, but it was £2 cheaper over two years lol. Also declined the "enhanced engine flush" at £35.

I'm only doing around 3500-4000 miles a year at the moment. Last year I had brake fluid and diff oil done. Next year I'll see to the coolant, although that was changed last year when the supercharger was replaced.

Not booked in until the middle of next month, but excited to see what courtesy car I get, never driven another Jag before.

Positive feedback for servicing from me goes to Beadles Southend on sea Essex … they have serviced mine since new just had its 4th service. I have been very pleased with the service now mine is over 3 years old the price has now reduced

I recently purchased a 2016 V6 S which was due its 5 years service (oil and plugs). I was surprised the London dealer was asking £700+ for the service. I asked for a breakdown of the cost to be informed that labour was now £220 an hour. I was also interested to see they were charging £5 cost for the water to top up my (already full) windscreen wash. When I asked if this water was blessed by the Pope himself they did say there would be an added charge to find out - so at that point I declined their kind offer of a service and went to an Indy who was £300 cheaper and updated the online service history that day and gave me a personal tour of the car. It is true that you get what you pay for ... but sometimes it’s who you pay that matters. No Papal aquatic copyrights have been breached in the making of this reply...though my local Indy walks on water in my eyes.

Plugs should have been done at 5 years, so why are they changing plugs at a 7 year service?

I'm only going by what the Jaguar servicing website tells me I need at the 96 month service as per the screenshot above. But there is so much conflicting information out there. I can also see it's supposed to be every 6 years if you download the servicing schedule. Either way, I'm quite happy to tackle one of the major items each year, so Diff oil last year, spark plugs this year, especially as I don't see any proof it's been done previously.

6 years is for the V8, 5 for the V6, there is a thread confirming this and it's on the JLR website.
Agree if you don't know if they have been changed, worth getting done. However if it's always been dealer serviced they can tell if the plugs were done.

What's even more confusing is if you go to the Jaguar booking site, it shows spark plugs as every two years, which is excessive
