I suppose it depends on one's priorities. A £400 service probably uses less than £100 in consumables, the rest is just labour.

Would I spend £300 to get someone else to service my car, or would I spend it on half a dozen bottles of excellent malt whisky and as a bonus have a pleasant afternoon in the garage fossicking with the car?

Bit of a no-brainer for me!
