That is the price from the main dealership fixed price servicing scheme - Google "seat it's fixed".

Most other dealerships will be the same or not much different for a major service.

You could get it cheaper at an independent garage but you won't get your dealer stamp or AA cover.

i get aa cover and i dont care about dealer stamp! But at an indepenant garage, do you definately get all that's stated there?!

Each one will be different - If you're not bothered about the dealer stamp then go to a VAG specialist garage and double-check they use OEM parts, consumables etc. You probably won't get "Vehicle and software enhancements
from SEAT’s database" but then again if you're remapped you won't want that anyway lol!

Who can i trust with a service, obvs it's modded, so things like changing air filter, dont apply! Also i don't want them to change my spark plugs, i have iridium in there! haha ! and super blue brake fluid! ARGH

I DONT TRUST ANYONE!!

 

[marty_34]

that rules out main dealers as most of them cant be trusted

You could order the genuine parts yourself off Sere Motors, and find a mechanic to do them all..

mine cost me around 375 (signed up to the gold service plan £399) and had to pay half up front.

think the service alone was £206 but i needed the a/c service + brake fluid change which was another £95 so cheaper to sign up to the plan and as its still in warrenty easier to get the dealer to mess with the car incase anything goes wrong.

rest of the price was the dsg service (£175).

Got my 40k service done at a VW Dealer for £172! Bargain!!

is the cam belt not due @ 40k or is that 4 years ?

 

[Pheo]

is the cam belt not due @ 40k or is that 4 years ?

Think it's 4 years or 60K. They keep changing it though! Tres annoying!

What did you end up doing with this?

As soon as I'm out of warranty I'll be doing my own servicing, and then maybe once every two years, pay SEAT to do it to check all of the other stuff over.
