Popped to skoda today to grab some centre caps for my alloys and while i was there i thought id ask about a service (due soon).

He said on the 60k service the brake fluid needs changing and the pollen filter, fair enough. With a general service he quoted me £261 inc VAT.

He then offered me the 2 year service plan for £299, bargain i thought!! Id get the service above plus next years oil and filter change, which he said would cost me £120, so a saving of £82.

BUT if an oil and filter change costs £120 that means they want £141 to change the brake fluid and pollen filter!!!(£261)

Any advice welcome

I always thought the brake fluid was every 2 years? The pollen filter costs about £10-£15 max, and any 6 y/o could fit it on the Fabia. It's in the passenger footwell, and just slides in/out.

At 60k, isn't your cambelt due too?

I think the fluid is due, still got to find the service paperwork out to check, and yeah the belt was due, but i had it done before xmas along with the water pump to be on the safe side.

Im thinking he must have added something else onto the bill, like an MOT or something because he used my Reg number and the mot is up next month.

I use these http://www.thevwaudispecialists.co.uk/, I have used them for services and my timing belt, no problems, better than the birmingham dealers thats for sure. If you use them please tell them I recommended them to you.

Cheers for the link, looks like a good company/service. 1 main problem they are about 45mins away from me. There are a few places like that by me but because my fabia has full skoda history id like to keep it that way. Think ill give skoda a ring and confirm the price!
