Hi,

I don't own a Skoda anymore as I own a Golf TDi these days.

My car is on the long life regime and due it's second service (33,000) or 2 year.

VW servicing costs are astronomical considering what they are actually doing, oil, filter, filter and pollen filter plus some bobbins about a health check for a grand total or £290!

What's the general cost for the same on the Skoda considering they are basically the same vehicle?

Thanks

the servicing costs on my Golf (Mk IV) are about the same as the Fabia when I had it. That is at Awesome though and not main dealers

My skoda dealer, second variable service at 36K was £180.

Not suprising since the labour rate is a lot higher. Dont be afraid to barter though we do lower labour rates to compete with specialists you have to ask though.

Oooh Ross , now come on play fair

I must admit though , I have seen that VW dealers are saying that they will price match specialists now , but they want the quote in writing

But makes for good healthy competition

Hey I charge even less, just so happens at this moment in time I dont have my own buisness so cant offer servicing in warranty periods (well main servicing anyhow).

Oooh Ross

Is this where our Briskoda garage comes in to it

Don't know how or if this compares, but my specialist dealer just charged £101 for my third annual service, fixed mileage, just inside end of warranty period. Elegance 2.0 petrol car.

I recently took my car to a local audi vw specialist. Dealer wanted £275 for 2nd long life service specialist was £260. Not much in it so I went to the specialist. What they failed to tell me was that the brake fluid change was not included in the £260 and the dealer had included it. In the end to save myself £15 Ive ended up spending £350 which did include £30 for new wipers but still expensive. So I will deffo be going back to my dealer

Obviously not a specialist who cares! Mine was where I bought the car - they have always been very fair and I'd get my next one there.
