1st service
Ifti:
Hi all
Im mainly based in the Harlow / Essex area most of the time.
Just rang a local VW dealer as my car needs its first service next month - he quoted me £225 for a T&D, or £365 for a LL service!!! Thats just an engine oil and filter change!!!
Im looking for any VW approved Indy's, or other good dealers for some more prices first.
Im willing to travel a little if need be...
Any recommendations??
Cheers

No idea, maybe I didnt barter enough! :confused:
Ifti:
I just rang another dealership, and was told that I should be having my first service at 2 years / 20k miles - not so soon.
They said when the light comes on, just to pop in and they will rest it!!!
lol
Deako:
LOL. Some dealers just assume that everyone is on variable servicing. Idiots.
Ifti:
Im after a long life service, even though Im on T&D, since I want LL oils to be used.
My LOCAL VW dealer - £365 - FOR A FIRST SERVICE!!!!!!!
Another VW dealership - about 17 miles away from me - the same service for..............wait for it...................£124.14!
I'll deffo be going here. This guy seemed to know what he was talking about over the phone when it came to servicing and oils etc - stating they used Castrol oil as well. My local dealer hardly knew the difference between T&D and LL servicing! I cant believe how much they tried to rip me off for!
Had a bit of a chat with him, and he said he was getting a lot of business from around the London area - all going up to him!!
Since they are a VW dealer, all parts will be VW approved etc.
He then went on to tell me my most expensive service at year 4, will be £367 - and that INCLUDES the DSG oil change was well (which they usually do for around £130!).
Hopefully their service will be quite good, and they'll have got themselves a new customer!!
