Am I being overcharged for servicing?

Despite oil costing an arm and a leg, that sounds a lot to me. 

Why not ring a couple more Fiat Professional garages and check their prices?

Good point, MM. As long as the commercial vehicle garage uses the approved Fiat parts and fluids, the warranty should remain intact. 

Especially with Fiat and their customer careless department.

I’m afraid I have had the ‘pleasure’ and it was with great trepidation that we bought the current Peugeot Boxer based MH. So far, it does seem an improvement on the Fiat but time will tell. 

We have only had our Fiat serviced once at 2 years old.. It was done at a Fiat commercial dealer and was £450 or thereabouts, so 600 is a bit high I would say.. The service only needs doing every 2 years or 30k so I reckoned £225 per year was much the same our VW which is half the Fiat price, but is done  every year rather than every two..

I had a service on my 2013 Motorhome with a Fiat Ducato 2.3 150 multi-jet  30,000 miles earlier this year at a local Commercial Vehicle servicing business.

Including genuine Fiat parts (4 filters and engine oil - £117) and an MOT (£40) it came to £277 plus Vat.

A Fiat Dealer will charge the earth and are best avoided.

Whoever you use make sure they can accommodate your vehicle and have lifting gear suitable for the weight and size of your Motorhome.

Hope this helps.

Most annual/bi annual servicingl costs at  most comercial vehicle "professional?" are for the expected much higher milages than the vast majority of motor caravans will do in their lifetimes

We had our first 2 year service earlier this year and from memory it was £208 at a FIAT professional workshop.  Included all the usual safety checks, oil change etc.  It is a fixed price low mileage service (the garage even had to fiddle prices of parts to get down to that price) that FIAT offer so I would say this i s a rip off.  I asked about next year and the garage just said no need to do anything, it will get an MOT which is a good safety check and I think 4 years may need a timing belt but will see when we get there.  Argue with the garage about fixed price low mileage service as you are doing half of the full service mileage in twice as long time...

I think it just proves that even though it is FIAT it is down to the individual garage how they treat customers...  Ours even changed the TPMS levels for us for free and have also checked the brakes last winter when the brake pad light came on after some severe weather.  We also needed upgraded software on the radio unit that they updated as well as the Mod for the dashboard which FIAT arranged for us.

Surely the alko chassis grease comes under the habitation service?and you had to "pay?" for a soft wear mod that was a  base vehicle build fault

"I asked about next year and the garage just said no need to do anything, it will get an MOT which is a good safety check and I think 4 years may need a timing belt but will see when we get there."

A worrying outfit to deal with there, the timing belts life is as much to do with the passage of "time" as it is with use.

If Fiat replace the timing belt and related bits at 4 years, then there is nothing to "see when we get there", 4 years is 4 years.

Inspecting the belt properly requires its removal, so pointless putting a used one back, to save the cost of a belt etc.

A 4 year change is though a bit early by general standards today. The life belts makers are prepared to risk going to has come down from the optimistic figures once quoted, but I suggest most makers talk about 5 years. 

Calm down, I said I think it is 4 years but could be 5 I cannot remember now and what I meant was I will see if it needs replacing at the 4 year service or not as recommended by FIAT not if it was worn or not...

They do seem to be a good local company to deal with and from prices quoted on here very reasonable too, there are often MH's in the yard there so I guess I am not the only one to think so!!

The recommended Belt change on the same model as the OP is either five years or, I think, 70,000 miles – whichever comes sooner.

As most Motorhomes don't do that high a mileage its best to change the belt, and water pump at the same time, after 5 years.

I had the belt and pump changed on my 2013 MH a few months ago – around £350 by a non-Fiat garage.

But check you don't have a chain, rather than a belt, which is another kettle of fish.

When our LVs and cars have been serviced we have as far as i can remember a "check list"of work required and "checked off tick"of the work as it is carried out?
