10k service

I know this topic has been done to death on here but I've just been quoted £145 for a 10k service on my 4 and a half month Fabia VRs.

From looking at the other threads on here that seems a bit excessive, do you think they are trying to charge me for an annual inspecion service??

Cheers.

Yep! Tell them you just want a lube service if you think you'll have done another 10k before the year is out....

I got charged just over £90 last month for a 10k oil change plus some extra screenwash, which the service guy offered me without asking as he looked at the records for my car and saw it was only 6 months old, so didn't need a full inspection (20k) service. Make sure they don't fleece you for a service you don't need yet!

Would you please advise what that recall is - the AA website is not advising any Recalls for the Fabia vRS but that site may only show major ones - what's yours?

The recall was only for cars fitted with pumps from a certain supplier, and as discussed on other threads here, it seems that Skoda have been very pro-active in contacting the owners of affected cars - in which case, no news is very probably good news!
