3rd Service, going to Skoda!
« on: April 23, 2010, 09:50:30 am »
Done a little digging re service prices etc for the Golfs 3rd Service, was going to do it myself as the car will be out of warranty.

Would like a stamp in the book though so thought about alternatives.

Prices form a local Skoda were as follows:-

Service £101.37
Brake Fluid Change £37.01
MOT £35.00!

Bargain I thought and still obviously using VW parts.

By the way my local VW dealer is selling 5 Litres of the long life oil for £38.00 (VW Own brand) :smiley:

ho ho , have you ever been on the A140 from Ipswich to Norwich.

Trust me the Road to Skoda at Attleborough is much more interesting.

That's an excellent price for the brake fluid change.

I agree! If there is a VW dealer close to the Skoda one, get them to price match! That way you get the VW service stamp as well.....

^^^ that's even better than the price I paid at my indy, using OEM VW fluid.

Ok, so my car is booked into VW Huddersfield for a service. If I get a better quote from Skoda do VW normally match it?

Well, gave them a call and Skoda quoted £330, VW £280. So Skoda is more expensive than VW :laugh:

Might try Seat.

VW seem to match prices if they know the garage and genuine parts are used.

Local indys are more expensive. Think it has a lot to do with the JCT600 £89 service.
