Check your service history and it should show you if they are changing it or not.
I bet service pack works out cheaper.

Can they really refuse to reset the Service Indicator for this ?

Sounds like an excellent idea to leave the Camera running & expose their shoddy working practices !

Its money making scheme. Do you really need to change cabin filter every 15K miles? Come on, UK roads are not that polluted compared to many other countries. And charging £150 for a filter which is hardly £40-50....

re: Dashcam, I was not cheeky. I have dashcam which records if there is any movement when car is parked.

So technician moving in front of my car means, it was being recorded. Good to see how work is done on your car.
