Agreed. I just paid £165 for first service at Honda dealer and the only extra I asked for was the fuel filler cap fix. They said they needed it for around 3.5 hours and that was how long it took.

Now I know that the first service usually takes around an hour and I am guessing that the rest of the time in the workshop (and it was) was work billed to Honda for the 'unknowns' like the i-shift remap and other quality issues which are well documented here.

That stamp in the book is also worth the difference when you come to sell IMHO.
