How much did your 2nd service cost...Photos Of Bill Added

[Cupra_Jay]

Dropped my car off at my local SEAT garage yesterday for its 2nd service, all went ok, no problems. Asked them hoe much it was going to cost me, the bloke turned around and said £264.05!!!!!

I almost fainted when he said that!!

How much have other people had to pay out of interest to see whether this is the norm or i have just been but rapped by SEAT??

when you say 2nd service, what mileage are you talking about ?

 

[Cupra_Jay]

20,000 mile service

 

[deadeyejim]

Oooh.

I had my 20K service on the FR done by my local VAG Specialist. It came to £128!!

Off the top of my head I don't think I've ever paid more than £130 inc vat for any of my services at AwesomeGTi.

Seat may have included brake fluid change? Thats every 2 years.

 

[Cupra_Jay]

yeah they did a brake fluid change, can rememebr seeing that on the bill, but IIRC it was only £31!

from what i can remember, the service itself cost just shy of £130 and then they charged me for everything they did on top of that....brake fluid change, oil change, plus 1 or 2 other bits. Added bout £100 on top of the cost of the service, then got VAT added to it as well.

Does that sound right to you, coz if not, am gonna call them up and challenge them on it

 

[deadeyejim]

The 128 for mine did not include brake fluid as I remember. But it did include labour and VAT. Oil, filters etc.

I've just paid £261 for the four year (32000 mile) service on mine, which included a brake fluid change and an MOT plus an 08 reg Ibiza courtesy car.

when i get home from work tonight, i will post up the bill i have got from SEAT showing what exactly they have done and charged me for.

If people could have a look at it and tell me if they think that is all ok, then fair enough, but if you turn around and go, no they shouldnt of charged you for this, etc then i will contact them and speak to them

I'd say..... "If you asked for a 20k service..... then thats what you should of got" I thought garages shouldn't do anything without your consent.

Oil etc should have been covered in the service charge

My car has done 22k miles and is having a 'Basic Service', brake check and brake bleed at JKM tomorrow. Is costing about £180

This will be it's 4th service as its just over 3 years old.

i cant wait for mine, got the joy of spending 500 'ish quid in the next few months.

 

[Cupra_Jay]

when i rung them up and booked it, i asked "can i book my car in for a service", gave them my reg number and he said "20,000 mile service?" and i said yes.

Will get a copy of the receipt i got and stick it up for you to have a look at

 

[Cupra_Jay]

Photos of my bill i got through

does that look right to you?

 

[kriso]

Just had my service this morning:

This also included a brake check.

 

[dancupra]

THink you got well and truely raped on that service cost matey, i think when i have mine done it will cost about half what you paid..... and thats using genuine parts too, but at a porsche speacialists.......
just for comparison, my 5k service which was oil and filters cost £55 inc the parts and vat...

 

[hon_n_gem]

Yeah i think thats what i paid around too!

However i got my Leon 2.0Tdi serviced (20k miles) for only £90..long story tho! just picked it up today from Steve at Sidcup!

 

[danmay]

surely oil etc should be included in the service costs?

 

[kriso]

surely oil etc should be included in the service costs?

It is included. The service costs is parts + labour. The oil comes under the parts.

 

[CUP-RACING]

my service cost me £45, I just bought all the bits and my dad did the service for free, stamped the book etc im not too fussed about seat service history as alot of the time the people that do the work are school leavers and dont treat the car with care. mines due in a couple of months so I will do the same again.
