Service pricing
« on: 08 February 2010, 16:46 »
Can anyone tell me how much if your GTi has had it done yet, the 40k service.

This is just the engine service . ive already had brake fluid service, dsg service done.

 Vw Dealers have quoted me £300!!, seems abit excessive. Any help would be great.

^^^^  :huh:  My last service - 30k, T&D, LL oil - was about £130.

There was comparisons on here a few weeks ago and £295 for the 40k service seems to be a price that's stuck in my mind for some reason...?  :undecided:

I had my 40k / 4 year T&D done last summer for just shy of £300 (might be the £295 Familydub is referring to) so sounds about right.  Also had brake fluid and A/C services done at the same time pushing it up to just under £400.

Just had two quotes today for a 3 year  T&D, with LL oil one was £145 the other was £164. Mind you, two other VW dealers I rang couldn't give me a quote as their systems were down!  "Sorry Sir but........."

Another example of how fcuking stupid the world is becoming. Hardly a specialist quote is it?  :rolleyes:

Im abit worried about going elsewhere. I use JKM in Portsmouth, and no need to big up their case as they are one of the best Knowledgeable people when it comes to the TFSI, but what if comes to mind. Cars 3 years old, ok factory warrantys up, and say if the Turbo goes as an example, the dealership will be quick enough to  say " youve not had your last service done here, so a sympathic claim on say a major component failure, they would wipe their hands with it. Thats what im frightened of tbh.

Dealer has since said if i supply the longlife oil (which i have 5 litres at home) will do it for £250. Jkm will do it for £200 with again me suppling the oil.

It just seems alot of money, for what is affectively a oil/filter, fuel filter, pollen filter, Spark plug change, and a safety check  :rolleyes: , which i know i have 4mm on the front pads and 8mm on the rear, as ive not long had a brake fluid, and DSG  service already completed my them 6 weeks or so ago, oh and a cambelt and tensioner replaced under warranty.

To do the above would take no more then 1.5 hours??. So it must be nearly £100 an hour labour rate??

Even the Guy that looks after Peter coopers carpark said "Back Again?" lol.

If i add up the dsg service £150, Brake Fluid service £60.Engine service £300, then a 40k service is mighty expensive!!

Fair enough. The price has changed because you're providing the oil, but that isn't technically a discount!

If you have given the dealer repeat business, surely suggesting this - and potential future work, I.e. the 40k you mention - might merit the service manager meeting you halfway at perhaps £225?

Or even pay the £250, but ask him what else he can help with - discount on the 40k service, discount on other parts? Something?!

Don't ask, you don't get!  :tongue:

that does sound a lot phil, im having my DSG change next month and was anticipating a full service at around that cost.
oh and surely if you blow the turbo up out of warrenty it doesnt matter where you get it serviced?? could be a good excuse for a 3071  :grin:
