No way... this is West Norfolk....full of Farmers, Food Processing plants and Poles/Litho's Estonians etc..!!!

I'm going to check with NMG Norwich as well then have a few words with EMG in Kings Lynn methinks..

Not very happy with their support compared to NMG either!!!

Can you find out what your service includes... ie is that just labour or parts/oils as well... very much doubt it is... then I can get a like for like comparison.

I had my 'first' service done some while ago, £135 (all in & a free valet), my second service is due in just under 2000 miles, the price I was given for that was £160.

Carrot cruncher prices seem a little high, (I used to live in Watton).

Thats alarmin... Alarmin... oppps couldnt resist...... I can't see at all why EMG Kings Lynn are charging so much... I'll be having words with them after I get a few more examples and my question answered by NMG in Norwich... where I bought the car from.

I didnt buy it from EMG because they would only offer me £4700 trade in, for a less than 3 year old Sportage 2.0 EX they had been servicing themselves for 3 years..... NMG offered me £6000 and extras as well.... so it was a no contest.

I thought all Kia servicing prices were almost standardised?

Watton is a wierd place by the way....
