Just called up a vw specialist by me (Cardiff) he gave me a price of £80 is that a decent price?
-
well what's included for that price??
-
As above... I would ask for a detailed brakedown of whats included... He may only do visual inspections :happy2:
-
I thought the 10k was oil change? Well I suppose I shall call him to check that! Thanks for the advice didn't wanna pay 80 for him to look at my car! :grin:
-
Basically just ensure you know exactly what he is going to do / change & with what parts. VW or 'like for like' parts.
-
He does a lot of work for my bros garage and we know each other enough to have a chat so that's why I wanna use him, one thing I do know is that he only uses genuine parts. What should be done on my 10k? In June last year I did a major service changing everything.
-
I take it the car isnt on 10,000 miles? Its just on a short life service cycle? so every 10,000 miles?
You should expect:-
Oil & oil filter change
Pollen Filter Change
A good visual inspection of the car - Tyres, brakes, suspention,
Service light reset (of corse)
Book stamped
You could also ask for fuel filter change at added cost.
All of the above should sit around £125 - £175. With main dealer slightly above the top end price with less replacement parts ( as usual )
-
Ye just hit 70k so everything was done on last service :) another thing I think I need doing is aircon as this was now done two years ago, when I have time ill give him a call and ask him what he is doing.

Perfect, Seems cheap IMO. My service was quotes at £147 but that did include a fuel filter & change. Cant imagine its that expensive....but with mates rates :wink: Looks as if you have a good deal ! :happy2:
