Different prices for inspection

Dear Mitelche, I’m mad. I called three different Volvo dealers on Friday and asked what the 40,000 for my V70 D5 costs. The first one demands € 353,-. My (former) favorite dealer in Neuss wanted “just € 450,-” and the hammer: The Düsseldorf branch of the same dealer takes € 50,- less. The included performance was the same, free replacement car included with all. However, on my question, which explains these price differences, the surveyed service managers thought there would be different hourly rates at the individual dealers. Why the hourly rate in Neuss should be considerably more expensive than in Mönchengladbach or even in Düsseldorf, nobody could tell me. I can only advise everyone to handle it as I will in future: Before each inspection I call three to four dealers in the area, and the cheapest one wins. As a result I have just saved almost € 100,- it was similar with my wife’s Renault Espace. By previous price comparison, I can’t understand the price for a lot.
