Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing my 20,000km service

Heres a photo courtesy of Mr & Mrs Tyler 4/4owner(very nice couple whom I and Michael have met at the factory )

Is that the original Aero?

That's strange, I have just picked my car up this morning and the first service at MMC was completely free, as were quite a number of other minor items that were rectified on warranty. Surely you must have had some extra work done kin?

I did get a bill for GBP455.00, but that was for additional work/modifications carried out at my request and delivering the car to RTCC. Incidentally, I had the new aluminium 'Gearlever Knob USA' fitted and will post a photo over the weekend. It looks good IMHO.

Yes, I have had some xtra work done. Oil & filter changed, bought some touch up paints, and had the side sill film replaced, there were some scuffmarks.

I guess so At least it smelt like one It has two 6-speed gear stick inside it and 2-3 levers on the steering wheel, the smoke were pouring out of the nearside front brake, I could also smelt oil and fuel as well.

OK I am English (of sorts) & I know what to expect with regard to price and quality. Now what I do hope is that some mistake has been made. I took my car into my local dealer for an oil and filter change and a levels and general check due to the impending Austria trip. The car is deposited at just after 9am and picked up at approx 12noon. The service manager says "I havent done an invoice yet but you know me, just leave your card details and I will send on the invoice" Well as this was Thursday and nothing received I checked my bank account only to find a GBP510 charge been deducted from my account :cussing:

No service bear in mind, just oil and filter and a quick check.

I certainly hope a mistake has been made (SM was not in a good mood BTW) otherwise a serious moan (and more) may be on the cards.

So maybe not just the factory.

Boshly,

That ammount is scary. You should check no mistake , but if they stand by the charges you should name and shame. :cussing:

Having many years experience of Mercedes Benz dealers I know how easily they can bankrupt you. I had hoped that Morgan dealers had more restraint.

BtG, if a mistake hasn't been made, I'd say you've had the Royal-Treatment

An apt 'smiley' if ever there was one!



I shall keep you informed.

That's outrageous Andy, I think that we now have to do a 'deal' with one of the Dealer's in our area for TalkMorgan Aero member's (and Trad owners, if they also feel there is a need) for servicing and in addition purchasing of cars and also commission sales of cars. Too many of the Dealer's seem to forget that many of us are also in business in our other lives, and thus have some idea of what amounts to good customer relationships and added value service.

We can talk further over the coming event in Austria and hammer out some ground-rules and then approach Simon with some ideas for further discussion.
