My first service is due next month. Just out of curiosity Neil what sort of quotes did you get from the various places?
It would be good to have a starting point to work from before I start ringing round. I know I'll have to use somewhere outside Leeds 'cos they're c***.

I'll do that R32 and take it to Donny where I work and where I bought it from. Assuming they'll match it of course!!!!

Back to topic :rolleyes:. Have you the £250 Service Pack? Was it on offer when you bought the car?

I got my car on 15 March but decided to purchase the £250 service pack last week and was able to do so, apparently you can do this up to 3 months after getting your car.

I'm surprised that the prices differ; is there no 'fixed price' service available?

There may or may not be fixed price servicing. Certainly, with the wife's 93 I ring various Saab dealers then ring my preferred dealer with last. They always match the cheapest price to keep my business.
And it's really quite amazing the difference between prices for a supposed "standard" full or interim service. So it's always worth ringing round.
Interestingly, I also just had to have a new air con condenser fitted on her car as a tone had gone through it. My preferred Saab dealer were as cheap as any of the specialist independents I rang!!! But then again, they at least seem to know what they're doing with Saabs as opposed to the majority of VW dealers I've dealt with over the years who don't have a clue!!!!

Booked car in for its 1st service today at VW Stealers £110 for oil/filter as thats all that is needed, didn't try anywhere else for a comparison as i was near the stealers and needed some wiperblades for the Transporter anyway, be nice to know what others have been quoted  :embarassed:

With or without VAT?
Good price from a main dealer. More in London: £120 + VAT! Though I get a good discount from my dealer as they like me. :smiley:
Hope they are also putting a new oil plug.
