Dropped my JKU off for its 36000km/18 month service done on a time elapsed calculation rather than kilometers travelled. It has only covered 17000kms to date. After leaving it I received a phone call advising me the service cost will be $1200.00. No choice other than to say yes but.........
That seems high, demand a list of what they did and consumables used.
If it doesn't seem reasonable then tell them so and then negotiate.
A normal service on a Jk would be lucky to take 3 hours so say $450 labor and consumables of $200 assuming other parts weren't supplied like brake pads etc etc...
So there does seem to be a large markup if it was just a basic service.
