Service cost

Hi all,

Altea 2.0Tdi.


How much should I be paying for a 30,000 service ?

Cheers

Have a look in the servicing section but it is a minor service. Where in the country are you. I would avoid a main dealer and go independent/specialist. Dealers charge a lot and often deliver less than a good indy or specialist

Thanks Nathanio - I live in Castleford, West Yorkshire. I thought it was an 'inspection' service, the 30k one, i'll have a look in my book tomorrow.

Ummmm Castleford...have a look a the sponsers and see which is closest would be my advice

I'm paying £170 this week at a dealer. In for a bit of warranty work so couldn't be arsed taking it anywhere else but I will next time

Stupid question guys but how honest are dealers when they are servicing your car in replacing things under warranty ?

My warranty finishes in 12 months and I was thinking of taking it to a specialist for the last service so they can identify any jobs that a dealer might let go.
I will then be able to take it to the dealer with a list of what needs doing under warranty.

Fair comment, maybe it depends if it's lucrative or not ?

Hi all. just been quoted £128 for a 20k service at a Seat dealer!!! looking at other prices this seems fairly cheap, can leave it in on way to work and £18cheaper than Skoda dealer!!

That seems a good price googies, my dealer has told me it's £150, though they're saying they can do it for £75 as a goodwill gesture due to some problems I've had.

That was a goo price was a bit.....that doesnt sound right......take it before they change their minds.lol. hope can get a courtesy car, only work 15mile away from the garage in ROI and be back that day i would hope. £150 seems the norm on here iirc. but £75 as goodwill is not bad of them. got matts and spare wheel from dealer as goodwill, bearing in mind didnt buy car new and i left them a sorta duff'ted up car (206 1.9d) it was ok.
