Default 60k service costs?

Just been looking into booking my Fabia 1.9TDi in for its 60k service. Any idea what sort of money I should be expecting to pay for this service? 60k on the TDI includes cambelt change.

Thanks, Chris

Did Jason not post something on this when he went to get 60k service on his Fabia a while back? Might be worth a search.

If you know your dealer's hourly rate for labour, you could get an idea from the following link:

http://www.skoda.co.uk/skoda3g/conte...a/fabiasmr.xls


According to that info, at 60K the car has a 20K inspection (£157.44) and a cam belt change (£137.81). Those figures are based on a labour cost of £50 an hour and exclude VAT. That comes to £346.92 with VAT compared with Marlborough Skoda's listed service charge of £379.33. Doubtless there are much cheaper hourly rates for labour out there.

Hourly rate is £53 and I was quotes £210 in VAT for 20k service and £292 inc VAT for cambelt change, coming to a whopping £502. Makes Subaru servicing look cheap Think I'll be shopping around a bit more

Assuming you have Excel installed (), what are you security settings set to. I get the message saying that a macro is a high-risk threat and is not signed, etc so will not be run. You can get round this by lowering your security settings (Tools->Macro->Security and set to Medium which asks whether you want to run the macros)
