FR 2nd Service

[MagicFR]

Hey chaps,

the car decided it needs its 2nd service. Anyone know what it actually needs on this one? And any ideas on prices from dealers?

Am I also right to assume that it needs to go to a main dealer for me to keep my warranty as it is less than 2 years old and had it from brand new?

Cheers

it does not need to go to a main dealer , just a VAT registered garage and serviced with approved parts in accordance to the SEAT scehdule ,


for wat needs done check page 10 of your service and maintenace manual

[stoneyfordNI]

I'm based in NW so any of the ones mentioned are close by

brake fluid change every 2 years I think

 

[MagicFR]

hey spyke I'm in Manchester.

checked the book and brake fluid is on the list calls for quotes will take place tomorrow

 

[MagicFR]

Well after a bit of shopping around the prices I got quoted ranged from £141 including brake fluid change up to £212!!!!!

I have decided to go with Pennine as I have only heard good things about them, plus they are new and could probably do with some support.

Hopefully the service will be good but i'll give you my feedback next week

How long does the brake fluid service take? Just wondering to see if I can fit it in with my 30k service on Thursday or whether I'll need to book that for another time.

Try Awesome if you are Manchester mate - I'm getting my 1st (10K) done there soon - better than a main dealer and cheaper too!

 

[MagicFR]

I was quoted by awesome but unfortunately they were quiet more expensive than the dealer.

The oil arrived this morning as well!!! Motul 8100 fully synthetic, got it from opieoils. Superb service and advise if any1 wants to use them.

 

[Trumpetman21]

They would've been as expensive for me too but I went through Sarah (via SCC) and they were comfortably cheaper once the negotiations were complete....

If anyone would like a quote for a service at the moment it would be worth checking out our discount that we have just now.
We have 15% off some items at the moment.
There is also 15% off the labour too.
Hope this helps

Aforementioned service was carried out on Saturday just gone and at a very reasonable rate I might add.

Thoroughly recommended!

If you goto JBS, theres always about 4-5 people that will come to meet you, thats why i go there, cos i feel popular

On a serious note though, i woulndt take my car anywhere else, theyre excellent and its a nice cross-pennine drive for you!
