Hi folks, I have just had my citigo serviced by SERVICESTOP and the garage has charged me for an engine flush, low ash oil and fuel treatment all costing me an additional £130.00 + VAT.

          The items they charged me for are " recommended, as per manufacturers service schedule" my car is 1.0L petrol 2019.

              Can anyone advise me please as per the required servicing required for this 2 yr old car

 

Welcome to the forum.

?

How much was the full bill?

?

Were you not asked if you wanted that.

The Low Ash oil will be the VW504 00 / 507 00 that they had to use, and this was not at any extra expense.

The Flush and treatment was them at it.

 

They took the Michael.  Recommended by the Manager, Boss or Dealer Principal as up-selling to help them earn money.

 

This would be a Skoda Main Dealer Service @ 2 years and maybe also the Pollen Filter replaced.

They might try to Up-sell a AC Service and say it is Recommended.

thanks for your response, yes I was asked, but didn't think any the wiser. (vulnerable old lady)

 Total bill was £312.08 incl VAT

      £58 engine flush and £65 fuel treatment

What a bunch of crooks.

@caromac

Where or by who did the service get done?  As in who's workshop.

 

Is the Pollen / Cabin Filter listed as being replaced?

I'm not sure which actual garage as it was all booked and invoiced thro "servicestop" on line, I wont be using them again

 No the pollen filter was not changed.
