How much does a service with VW cost?
« on: 24 June 2009, 19:32 »
Got my new VW and the service isnt due for a while yet.


Please gear me up to tell me the costs of the services?


Does the car just tell you when it needs it?

Yes, the car will tell you when it needs a service etc.
First service is under £200 - around £150 I think.
Not sure of the others - havent got to them yet! lol

Just had a price for my 4 year / 40k service from VW including a/c service and brake fluid change of £420.  My dealer seems to be pretty pricey compared to other quotes I've seen on here but they do have a bit of a monopoly..

Ouch ub7rm, my 40k service was less that £400 when I did it in Feb :(

£370 if memory serves BUT I did tell them to stuff their A/C services which might be why thinking about.

Had my 2 year / 20K service last week with brake fluid change, pollen filter change, longlife oil / filter

A lot of VW dealers quoted £230, got them down to £182.36

took 1.5 - 2 hours to do the service.

VW Huddersfield are doing my 3 year service for £150, which is cheaper than any other independent garage that quoted. I didn't even have to haggle with them...

oh my lord! how the hell! the brake fluid alone is £46, longlife oil is nearly £50, pollen filter £9 ish, filter and sump £7 ish.. they much of charged next to nothing labour!

service costs depend on whether its on yearly or longlife..
