Garages won't charge that.. usually.its £45-50 for an oil and filter change..

For that money I'd want my

Oil and filter
Air filter
Cabin filter
Fuel filter
Break/clutch fluid

Changed .

This is why I wouldn't want to go to a mail dealer for servicing.

What are the checks ? First aid kit ? I'd take that first aid kit £50 check and tell them to get under the bonnet.

I thought they couldn't invalidate a warranty as long as manufacturer spec parts were used and it was done by a VAT registered business

This is only for original manufacturers new car warranty, they can stipulate whatever they want for extended warranty products because as @Dis86 points out, extended warranties are effectively just insurance products.
 
Main Stealer pricing, I recently took an S400L in for fault-finding and they had a disclaimer of an £180/hour if the issue turned out not to a warranty-covered defect :rolleyes:
