10k Service Quotes

[justlivyalife]

Rang up the dealer I got the car from for a 10k quote on my Sport PD.

£175 plus three weeks to wait if I want a courtesy car, I can't wait as they can't guarantee how long it will take.

Rang up the next nearest dealer (about 2 miles further) - £130 and it'll take 90 minutes max. Can wait with the car and can oversee the works if I want.

Random...

the second seems good, especially letting you oversee the work. but still seems bit expensive, it is only basically an oil change is it not?

 

[justlivyalife]

Yeah - ridiculously expensive tbh! .

£100 from a Skoda garage.....

Be careful with the 10k service though, some wuote you the 10k Lube service while others quote the 10k full service..............

 

[justlivyalife]

Which is the one that I need?

 

[hon_n_gem]

yep i paid £170 for my first service at the seat garage! :S

 

[googies]

Paid £128 for 20K service, this was inspection service too i believe!! rip off for a 10k!!

edit. 20k done at SEAT garage!

 

[ChrisUK]

You need the full 10k service if your car is a year old or you have covered 10k miles.

The 10k lube service is if you do stupid miles every year 20k+, so you need everything lubed up every 10k miles, then a full one every 12 months......

But, do yourself a favour & give Skoda a ring.....

 

[AndyVTR]

Burn the Skoda.

Chris, Skoda only have the PD130 & PD170 don't they? IE not the PD150/160.

 

[ChrisUK]

Skoda garage did my 10 & 20k services.....

 

[AndyVTR]

As a PD130?

 

[googies]

Doesn't matter if it the 150 or the 130 i wouldn't think, same process, also as a vag group wouldn't be hard getting a service profile for the 150 or 170?

 

[ChrisUK]

No - as a PD 150

The whole of the VAG group is basically the same, they did everything on the SEAT checklist using approved parts & the correct oil etc.

It just that they were 10x cheaper, more efficient & twice as nice

I got there every year now !!

Why not do independant?
I used to work at a Skoda dealer
I was Service Manager , Parts Manager and Warranty Claims Admin
A service at an independant will NOT invalidate warranty
We charge £100.00 + VAT (£117.50 all in) for that service too

[ChrisUK]

Yep - VAG specialists are just as good, hence why JBS are taking a hard earned grand off me on Saturday......lol

 

[AndyVTR]

They're the same group?!

I'd prefer to take mine somewhere with the experience of doing a few that's all.

I got my SEAT main dealer down to within £30 of the independent so that will do nicely.

 

[AndyVTR]

What is this VAG you speak of?

 

[Mattyh87]

Volskwagen-Audi-Group.

Also - stealers might not carry out the "full service" or what you pay for. My bros car when taken to an independent (whos also a friend of ours) was told it hadnt been serviced properly for the last 3 years even though it had a FSH.

 

[AndyVTR]

Nope, never heard of them.

I know, my ex took hers to RUSTYS OF SCUNTHORPE for a while. Took it somewhere else another year and the rear brakes fell apart. Never been looked at.

Stamp looks good when selling though.

"The 10k lube service is if you do stupid miles every year 20k+, so you need everything lubed up every 10k miles, then a full one every 12 months......

If I tell you that the car is only just four months old, do you think a 10k lube service is what I need? hehe.
