Who services and fixes your EV2

Do you pay the main dealer to service and repair your car. Perhaps you pay an independent garage or repair it yourself. I suspect that this result might be skewed by the age of the car, but let us see. You can tick more than one box (especially if like me you ask the dealer to service the car to get a better price when you sell!)

What do you mean with "Main Dealer"? The one where you bought the car or an authorized workshop in common?
And what's the difference between option "Main dealer" and "Main dealer only"?

Edit: Ok I see you mean "service only"...
Just forget it

Independant garage

Our '04 807 2.0HDI has just had it's 36000 miles (56,500km) service ... new oil & filtr, fuel filter, air filter, pollen filter, check over everything else, top up fluids if required, check for fault codes, etc., for £126 parts & labour

Then had to go and spend £145 on two new front tyres

Seem good after a couple of hundred miles

we had mis-matched tyres on the front from purchase, and the mrs (the cars usual driver) never felt secure in the steering, so as they were near the twi's, we decided to buy a new pair. the rears will be swapped next month so we have 4 the same

They are reasonably quiet on most surfaces (some rougher tarmac gets a bit noisy), positive in the steering, grippy in the wet, we'll have to see on longevity etc., ......
