What have you all been charged for your first (600 mile) service?

CMC Cannock nailed me for £48 which broke down as:
Oil Filter - £10.76
Oil - £23.25
Environment charge - £1.98
Workshop consumables (WTF? Are they charging me for their tea & biscuits?) - £4.34
VAT - £7.67

How does that compare to the rest of you?

$86.60 total?

Damn, we get ripped off something cruel down here.

I thought $180 was cheap (which it is) through the dealer I bought the bike from.

Not so cheap when you compare it to 86 bucks tho!

I like the way they still manage to make money on the consumables on the first service. The labour is free !
Buy your own genuine filter and your own grade of oil with a sump washer and see how much it comes to.

Spray on chain lube and wd40 make up the rest of your charge no doubt.

Sounds like good value (compared to mine). Name and praise your dealer.
