[odd-head]

hello everyone

my car is due its 80k service at the end of the month.

oil
oil filter
panel filter
inside filter
spark plugs
check tensioners

SEAT - £284

AUDI/VW CENTRE - £240 they claimed to be alot cheaper on my local radio. £44 is not alot cheaper. http://www.audivwcentre.com/index.php/service-bromham

are these prices good?

my postcode is SN11 0SD, near Swindon, Wiltshire anyone know any good VAG specialists???????????????????

Not sure if those are good prices for the work involved, though it seems a bit on the steep side imo. Just for reference, I recentley had a 87K service done on my V5 170 at Arnold Clark Seat in Glasgow for £69 for an oil change and all the filters. Didn't change the plugs and not sure if they would have checked the tensioners though.

Definatley sounds steep, if that's all they're doing. Can be any more than £100 in parts if you were to do it yourself. Although an 80k is a major service I think so I'd expect they'd do more than what you listed - brake fluid etc?

Try Skoda - fish brothers I think in Swindon.

Also I've had good service from Northfield in Ciren.
