Wifey has a Citroen (spit........)szara td estate.
Its a few years old now with about 110k on the clock.
It has a yearly service at the main dealer which includes mot for £119.
The mot is not done by the dealer. I can't see another garage failing a car on an mot after the dealer has serviced it.
Its value for money as far as I can see it.
Vauxhall dealers are a rip off as far as I am concerned.
We used to run a vectra.
It went into the local dealer for service. We got a phone call to say that it would cost £380 to service the rear brakes.
When I checked into it, I was told that they had to service all of the brakes on the rear axle at the same time.
Turns out that you should not service the brakes on one wheel hub without the other on the same axle. Vauxhall interpret this as having to service the brakes on the whole back axle at the same time.
Disc brakes + handbrake drum shoes.
The handbrake was fine and had just passed MOT.
Two years later, The same dealer tried the same trick with me on my frontera.
I bought a set of disc pads from my local accesory shop for £12 and it passed the mot.
Similar thing happened to me with my Cavalier years ago.
Phoned up to ask what the minimum pad thickness was, "3 mm" said the garage.
Went outside and measured them at 6 mm.
Took car in and got a call saying, "You need new pads", "No I fcuking don't, I measured them yesterday".
