Title: 40,000 mile service costs.
Post by: TagnuT on 16 February 2011, 19:33

Called up three dealers today to get the price for a 40,000 mile service. The garages were all from the VAG group and I wanted just to compare prices. In the past I have managed to get a discount from my local dealer just by asking if its the best price that they will do. This time the won't budge saying its tariff priced servicing.

Quote 1: £249
Quote 2: £277
Quote 3: £358

The cheapest was from the VW dealer the other two were from Seat dealers... I would have thought that it would have been cheaper servicing at a Seat dealer.

What prices have other people been quoted for this service?

According to the VW website a major service (40,000 mile) should be £249...and a minor service (after another year/10,000 miles) should be £129.

Or if you sign up for two years worth of servicing (in theory a major plus a minor) it is only £349...plus you will get two MOTs free.

I haven't managed to work out the catch yet...!!!

Don't forget the 4 year extras;  Cam belt change, DSG oil change, brake fluid change, pollen filter, air con refresh and normally a water pump.  That should add about £600 to the bill.
