“Your OCTAVIA is due its aircon service. Call to book yours for just £79 at xxxxx Garage. 012345678”

 

Text message arrived on my phone recently.

 

I don’t ****in’ think so pal.

 

The car isn’t 2 years old yet and the aircon, and everything else, is working perfectly.

 

I guess they’re trying to keep the workshop busy  and want to keep us spending unnecessarily on things we don’t need.

 

Simply Stupid!

 

Just an offer of Preventative Maintenance so for you to accept or reject, many do just that.

Are you having the Pollen Filter changed?

 

But VW Group do have it in Service Guidelines these days.   It is money for old rope.

& Maximum Up-selling and turnover for the Dealership / Workshop. 

Help get stuff done while cars have time while in for servicing other than just for Warranty Work, Service Campaigns, Recalls or the VW Fix.
