Pirelli's first service
« on: February 05, 2010, 02:05:26 pm »
Folks.....have seen quite a few postings regarding servicing costs which explain the differences between the various types (which i kinda understand...i think). However just had my local VAG dealer (Basingstoke) quote me £230 for the first service (10,500k). Thought this sounded a bit steep so wanted to get opinions from folks in the know! Also, does the type of service regime influence the price (and apologies if that sounds like a niave question!). Thanks.

I always tell my VW garage to do a variable service as it's allot easier than trying to explain I want a time and distance service but with longlife oil, then I just book it in every year..

That being said, the basic service with longlife oil is aprrox £140. I even think that is a bit expensive and would consider anything over £200 to be extortionate.

£200 Sounds expensive it should be around the £150 mark.
Not sure what part of the world you are from but have you tried VWR as they do special offers for members

Is that Martins?

I would ring around and get a few prices I don't remember paying that much @ Camberley.  :confused:

Service 1 should be the same as service 3...

IIRC my T&D service last July (#3) was about £135, using LL oil.

Thanks folks for all the replies....it seems that the general view is that Martins' @ Basingstoke are a little over priced! Though to be fair i didn't really haggle or tell them what type of service i wanted. Having said that, the cheeky sods took my mobile number to 'confirm the price' then sent me a text 4 hours later telling me my golf was due it's first service! No sh*t Sherlock!!!

Will now phone around and see what's occuring.
