Well I finally got my first service done today from a VW dealer.
The dealer is around 17 miles away from me, since my local dealer wanted to charge just under £250 for an engine oil and filter change!
Anyways, got to the dealer (MJ Warner, in Herts) after a fun drive there, since its a lot of country lanes etc to get there
They took the car straight in, and told me it would come to £125 - as quoted.
They said it would take about an hour, to an hour and a half.
I waited around looking at other cars - unfortunately no MK6 GTIs to look closely at....
The service took around 45-50 mins - maybe it was quicker as I requested they didnt wash the car?!
Anyways, he came back and LOWERED the price even further.
He said it came to £106 and not £125 as expected!
Labour - £47.60
Filter - £8.73
Cleaner - £2.80
LL3 Oil - £33.60
VAT - £13.91
TOTAL - £106.64
They also did the Express Visual Check etc - which all turned out fine.
Finally, they topped up the washer fluid as well, and gave me the rest of the bottle - which is still over half full. (Is that what I was charged for as 'Cleaner'??).
Overall good service, at a good price. After the service the guy sat down with me and went over every bit of the invoice, telling me exactly what I had been charged for etc.
I think they've got themselves a regular customer
The sales guy there told me that the value of the ED30's have gone UP a little, due to the rarity. He knew a lot of people who were after them.
Told him how much I had paid for it a few months back, and he said I got a decent deal, and could probably make a small profit on it if I sold now! lol
