Title: What did your vw dealer charge for a MOT did they price match?
Post by: Snoopy on 09 March 2013, 11:06: As vw website says they will price match on servicing
It then lists a minor service for x then one with an MOT that is only listed as 40 pound more.

If you have the fixed price service plan did they do the MOT cheaper than the rrp of 55 ?
Or did they price match with people like quick fit who are advertising an MOT for 35 pound?

Title: Re: What did your vw dealer charge for a MOT did they price match?
Post by: Snoopy on 12 March 2013, 20:09: Yes no problem.
I had it on my own lift on Sunday and checked it over before hand anyway so I knew it should.

Unlike the Leon who's exhaust needs welding, another cv boot(genuine vw ones are crap) and a rear caliper before I take that for its MOT :embarrassed:

Leon past its MOT today. I Free'ed off the caliper, welded the exhaust up, Fitted CV joint at a cost of £18 and £40 for its MOT.
Ideally it could do with a new caliper as the handbrake is still a little slow/sticky to release fully at times but it was perfectly fine when tested for the MOT by the tester.

Post by: joe6 on 18 March 2013, 14:46: Just had third service under the service plan so free - (cost £200 for 3 years which seemed good value at the time). Asked for MOT price before taking it in and was quoted £35.00. Believe it is £27.50 at Halfords at the moment but easier to get both done at the same time.

Post by: ajmoir36 on 18 March 2013, 17:41: Just got quoted £39 for mine and £59 for the three year brake fluid change.
Title: Re: What did your vw dealer charge for a MOT did they price match?
Post by: Snoopy on 18 March 2013, 21:43: Just a note if you have the £200 £250 service plan option then the brake fluid change is listed as included on the terms and conditions and whats included bit.

Post by: ajmoir36 on 19 March 2013, 21:00: Unfortunatly no service plan here.

When I had my 3rd service under the service plan back in January I knew the brake fluid change was part of it for free but I asked to make sure. Yes they said it was free but after they serviced it I checked the service schedule and brake fluid change NO. I went back in and complained and they brought it back in to change the brake fluid, tossers.
