I had the 20,000 mile service done in June at no cost to me.....although it was just an oil change, fluids service and basic checks (plus some needed updates). When it comes time to do the 30,000 mile service I will go to my local chain I've been going to for 25 years. They service a few local Giulias that also bypass the dealership.....becuase they are fast, cheap and do great work. So, I'd expect to pay half or less what the Alfa dealer would charge for the spark plug service.

I will hit 50,000 miles in just over a year. I haven't even looked into what that service will entail......

 

50k in a little over a year, do you ever sleep? Good luck and let us know of how it holds up.

 

I put on 25,000 miles in 14 months. Should hit 50,000 by next December!

 

Just picked up my car (ti sport+performance package) from it's 20k service. Was given a quote of ~$1800 for the 30k service. Anyone have experience with this one from a third party yet? If my only option on this is dealer maintenance for warranty purposes I'm gonna sell this thing and buy something else...I love it but not THAT much.

 

You know that is 6 cents per mile or 18 cents if you start saving for it now.

 

I understand the sticker shock with the base Giulias. However, if you have a QV, these prices are in line or cheaper with M and Porsche dealer pricing--which are the cars that these compete with in the marketplace.


Even my BMW motorcycle has a $1,800 20k mile service.

 

I attached the maintenance schedule for the QV.
It calls for brake fluid change every 2 years with no mileage requirement.
At 20K:
- oil, filter
- cabin air filter
- engine air filter

Everything else are inspection / top-up items

It's also interesting to note that changing the accessory belt at 30K is "recommended". It is a "must" at 4 years.

 

My guess on the belts we will fall into the “recommended” not the full 4 years for “dusty” or some other climate. Open wallet......

 

$1800 seems pretty low to me considering your payment on an $80k is most likely $1400/month. If you have $1400 then $1800 shouldn’t be sticker shock. It’s just another cost owning a 500hp twin turbo V-6.
Brakes. Belts. Fuel. Tires. All need servicing eventually and if service cost are an issue then a lease is best option.

 

The poster that was complaining about the service cost has the 2.0L.

 

I had the 20K service completed today on my '17 Ti Sport. It was $530 which included oil/filter change, new cabin air filter and brake fluid flush.

 

I have the 24K service scheduled for Monday at the Alfa dealer (its Diesel so its 12k mile intervals).
They've quoted me £540! shocking!
When I drop it off i'll be asking what they'll actually be doing as it looks mainly like an inspection service.
I'm not even sure the oil & filer will be changes as it mentions in the hand book oil changed is based on driving style and will indicate the change by warning light (apparently).

From experience, is there anything I should specifically asked to checked / changed?
Especially software?

I'll ask them how to update the nav maps, for sure.
Any advice welcome.

 

Anyone have an independent do the 20k mile service?

Thanks

 

And risk voiding the warranty?

 

Updating this thread. I called 3 dealers for 20k service costs and I got $650, $728, and $760 plus tax. For an oil change, air filter, and brake fluid. Chicago area.

 

I just had my 2 year service done with 9500 miles. All of the above, plus tire rotation and balancing was $850 (icl tax). I’m sure it included a few other misc items as well, maybe new wipers, etc.
