@Eskilation; in your first post in this thread, the additional £24 quoted by the dealer is for environmental waste disposal charge. They’re now saying it’s to cover the the PPE needed for the car clean before and after the service. Presumably the PPE will be a pair of disposable gloves and a disposable face mask - surely they don’t cost £24.

Included with all servicing options
- Premium synthetic oil change
- Change oil filter
- Vehicle road test
- Pollen filter replacement (where required)
- Check for outstanding vehicle safety, software and product enhancements from SEAT's database
- Comprehensive vehicle inspection and report
- Check and top up screen wash and antifreeze
- Vehicle fault memory check and report
- Reset service interval display
- Courtesy wash and vacuum
- SEAT proof of service
Services include the cost of a courtesy wash and vacuum - there’s no mention of an extra charge, in the same way there‘s no mention of an environmental waste disposal charge. Why would disposal of waste oil cost more now than it did before COVID-19 - at least not £24 more. The published prices for servicing should include waste oil disposal - it shouldn’t be an additional charge over and above Seat’s published prices.
Is this charge applied just by the Seat dealer you’re using or is it applied by the entire Seat dealer network? I’d be ringing around a few other dealers and asking for the servicing prices to see if they’re applying a £24 environmental disposal charge or a PPE charge. If they don’t. and if you’ve not had your car serviced / MOT’d yet, I’d be going to a different dealer or a good, reputable independent Seat specialist.
