I think people are going to get a shock when it comes to second service time, I phoned around no less than five dealers and got quotes of £280-350. As cb550 said there's probably no substitute for a main dealer service when it comes to warranty and selling the vehicle for the best price, so I've just had to take it on the chin.

Everyone I spoke to said it was a 'major service', despite looking through the service book and thinking I could probably do most of the stuff in it myself. The dealer network must be making a killing on the services, for what is essentially a change of oil and a kick of the tyres.

The cheapest -£280 was from Arnold Clark, but alas was too far for me. I eventually got my local dealer to do the service for £300, which seemed about the average.

Once the main warranty is up I'll probably get the vehicle serviced independently, I've seen quotes of £120 for a service from a Honda specialist.
