vRS First Variable Service

I've just had my first variable service carried out on my Octavia vRS at 19000 miles so thought I'd share some info for future reference.

I called five dealers in and around where I live and work prices quoted were: £249.81, £199.48, £177.64, £177.45 and £165.72. Local garage price matched the lowest so went there. It's actually a Volkswagen dealership with a franchised Skoda section.

I asked them to look at the Bolero firmware update whilst it was in, they didn't so I'll be calling back soon.

They also rang me to say that Skoda recommend a fuel filter change at 20k and quoted £56, I said I'd sort it later.

The healthcheck highlighted the mis-alignment of the rear wheels which I knew about but I'll live with that for now.

The invoice states they used Castrol Prof SLX III oil apparently.
