Richmond Skoda Portsmouth (Brake fluid change)

Featured Replies

This isn't about whether owners think a brake fluid change is necessary at 2 years or not, just be careful with Richmond when getting a quote. I contacted them in June to ask the price of the brake fluid change and was advised it was £100.?? Inc Vat, I thought this was a bit expensive and the operator seemed a bit unsure so I rang back the next week to check that price and was told it was £69.19 Inc vat, which was roughly in line with the prices I had read online so I booked my karoq in for service on that basis. Today I rang to check my booking and was told the brake fluid change was £100.?? I'm not really sure which advisor was right, but will now be looking for an independent to do it....

@Bryfly Nearly always the case that a 'During a service price' of a Brake Fluid change is less (Price Fixed) lower than just getting a Brake Fluid change. Is it during a Service price that they gave it @ £100? You decide if you want to follow the @2 year Service schedule or not. You know where and when you drive and weather conditions etc. If you think the Brake Fluid has absorbed H20 or not. It changed from @ 2 years to @ 3, then a few years back to @ 2 Years as a nice little earner for Dealerships after the VW Emissions Scandal and stuff. Money for old rope.

Yes I thought that initially, the first time I never mention service, just asked for the price of BFC, they quoted the £100, the second call I said I need to book 2nd service and the price was £69.19, then 3rd call to check my booking this week it went back up to £100.....who knows what they are playing at plucking figures from the sky comes to mind.
