Skoda have a national pricing policy for common maintenance tasks. See the link below

Thanks for the link. just popped to my local garage and he will do all the above for £690 plus vat so happy :-)

Not really, you'd be looking at 300+ for discs + pads all round, same again for cambelt + water pump (minimum) and ~150 for a standard service. There's easily £7-800 worth in there even at an indie.

Yeah if you can do your own brakes (as you and I would*) you can save a lot of money.

*though in hindsight I would've gladly paid someone to do the rears on the vrs for me as it's a pig of a job.

Had this done last week, and although they DIDN'T need doing, I can tell you the costs:

 

60,000m 1.8 petrol service - £255

Front pads & discs - £269.45

Read pads & discs - 178.88 (2hrs labour front, 3hrs rear)

Total - £703.33

Needless to say I didn't take them up on their generous offer!

Yup, was gonna do the fronts myself and leave the rears to someone else but a bloke at work was happy to do both for £50 when they need doing in a few months time!

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong column... that's the stock quantity!

I'd have the service and timing belt done by Skoda in as long as all the other serving has been done to schedule in order to retain a "good will" bargaining position with Skoda should the need arise.

Pads and discs local indie

Didn't think the rears would be too bad on a 1.8 as you don't need to remove the caliper carrier to get the discs off do you?
