Dealer recommendations for servicing

Hi chaps
Any recommendations for dealer servicing in East Anglia?
Just had a quote for 5 year service at £754 at Peterborough Jaguar which seems a bit steep to me. I will ring round but if I have to pay that sort of money I would rather go somewhere that comes with a decent recommendation.
Cheers

Quick update, its going in to Cambridge Jaguar at a cost of £338.12 for the same service interval, unbelievable that two dealers (in the same group) can be so different on price.

Half the cost?!
How does the other dealer justify their prices..?

Yes. A mistake to use them.

It would be useful to have a thread going of people's experiences of different dealers and their servicing costs.

Or maybe a separate forum header with each thread subject being dealer name and location to make it easier to find.

I got the feeling that the guy at Peterborough didn't really know what he was doing when he struggled to work out how many months a fifth year service would be. When I asked for a breakdown of the £754 he told me "major service", yes but exactly what is involved "definitely oil and some filters....and other major stuff"!
Cambridge couldn't have been much different, lady on the phone extremely knowledgeable, very polite and very helpful. Instilled a bit more trust in them and coupled with the drastically reduced price secured the work, booked in for early Jan.

I'm busy saving pennies for the 4 year service in May. I thought that was going to be a major one.?

I thought it was a "fixed cost" within the group???

That price will be an error. They will have quoted the interim in error which misses out the filters, plugs, etc. Or possibly a fixed price scheme which the F type is excluded from..
Plugs alone is a major job and took 4 hours on mine.
Had my same service done this Summer and £600-£800 is the quoted price
