And what's really bugging me at the moment is that Leeds VW are cheapest so far and I really don't want to give them any business for having a bunch of useless t**** salesmen and generally having a crap reputation.

Have you tried JCT600 in Wakefield ?   I've found there service to be much much better than VW Leeds,  and I've never looked back since changing to them.   Book early enough and they have always given me a courtesy car for free.

They are on my list of people to call tomorrow, along with VW HUddersfield. I got the R32 from Wakey and they have always been quite good as far as I can remember. I just know that £245 for 2hrs work is a rip!! :angry:

You could pay £299 and then that pays for your next two services based on time and distance, every 12 months or 10,000 miles. Then take the car where ever you want! It will include your brake fluid change aswell : )

JCT 600 VW in Hull did my 1st service for £93.62+vat (£110) i think all JCT's should be the same as they are the same group  :sad:

Give them a try  :rolleyes:

Off the top of my head Leeds was £135 so I don't know why they're quoting you £200 odd R32. I also rang Barnsley, Wakefield and Sthingyhorpe and they were all equally clueless but all within £140 to £150. It's only a first service oil and filter change after all. Maybe they're quoting you for the first long life service R32?
The bottom line is they don't have a clue.
I'd also happily pay the £299 for three year's service if I could but since that came in months after I got mine just assumed the offer wouldn't be open to me.

Wakey are ok, don't bother ringing Huddersfield, they struggle every time to do the smallest things and they are very arrogant. It annoys me with the workers because if they just hired someone like me who knows the ins and outs of VWs more or less I could put most of them to shame. 110 FSI? Wtf

I was told its £245 because I am approaching 15k i.e. on long life service.

Can anyone confirm this? I know the oil costs marginally more but does it involve more work?
