Default Re: Lloyd Cooper Watford - Clumsy or bad luck?

Good morning all.


Do Lloyd Cooper's services include parts at that price? I doubt it somehow. On a CBR900rr the spark plugs are somewhere in the £60 region. Their 'Gold Plus' service includes spark plug replacement leaving not a lot of profit from £229 when the cost of an oil & filter is taken out.
Furthermore, why do they replace spark plugs on a 'Gold service' & not on a Platinum one?

It seems to me to be a load of cobblers! There seems to be a lot of 'inspecting' & not a great deal of actual spannering. Even their Platinum plus, service doesn't mention coolant replacement. Which, should be done every two years.


Cheers.


P.S. There's no such thing as long life spark plugs. Even Iridium plugs should still be changed at the standard intervals.
