Just had interim service at OPC, £600 inc. brake fluid change.
Expensive enough, but then they try to eak out unnecessary work - they wanted £950 to replace the alternator, £150 for a horn (one of the two tones) and £40 to hoover out some leaves from behind the spoiler air ducts! It turns out there's nothing really wrong with the alternator, just charging at 0.4V less than normal. And as for the leaves, I sorted this myself in 10 mins.
And then, a few days later noticed some oil on the driveway. It turns out they hadn't tightened the sump drain nut!
The OPC showroom was spotless, with usual free drinks and TV, and lots of 'how are you today Sir', but it seems no real honest competency underneath.
A poor show!
