 First service, anything to watch out for? - SteelSpark
Well, I had the service on Thursday.

All went fairly smoothly, although it took much longer than I was happy with, took the car in for 8am, got a call at 10:50 to say that it was ready, got back to the dealer for 11, paid for the service while they did a courtesy valet (just external wash and hoover the footwells), at 11:45 was told that the valet had actually just started, valet finished at 12, then had to wait until 12:20 until they could get the car from the car park to the service reception. They originally told me 2-3 hours, so I had been hoping to get away by 11am at the latest.

The body work check was included in the price £175, and they told me that the book would be stamped with the service stamp and the additional body work check stamp.

On the subject of the service book (which I didn't get when I bought the car), they told me that they would post it to me. I have no reason to believe they won't so I left it at that (they seem above board, if somewhat disorganised - including failing to send off the correct bits of the log book when I bought it).

Thanks again for all the advice.
