| Briskodian  | Servicing costs Hi, I don't own a Skoda anymore as I own a Golf TDi these days. My car is on the long life regime and due it's second service (33,000) or 2 year. VW servicing costs are astronomical considering what they are actually doing, oil, filter, filter and pollen filter plus some bobbins about a health check for a grand total or £290! What's the general cost for the same on the Skoda considering they are basically the same vehicle? Thanks

| Re: Servicing costs the servicing costs on my Golf (Mk IV) are about the same as the Fabia when I had it. That is at Awesome though and not main dealers

Not suprising since the labour rate is a lot higher. Dont be afraid to barter though we do lower labour rates to compete with specialists you have to ask though. | |

| Re: Servicing costs Hey I charge even less, just so happens at this moment in time I dont have my own buisness so cant offer servicing in warranty periods (well main servicing anyhow). |

| Re: Servicing costs Don't know how or if this compares, but my specialist dealer just charged £101 for my third annual service, fixed mileage, just inside end of warranty period. Elegance 2.0 petrol car. |

| Re: Servicing costs I recently took my car to a local audi vw specialist. Dealer wanted £275 for 2nd long life service specialist was £260. Not much in it so I went to the specialist. What they failed to tell me was that the brake fluid change was not included in the £260 and the dealer had included it. In the end to save myself £15 Ive ended up spending £350 which did include £30 for new wipers but still expensive. So I will deffo be going back to my dealer |

| Re: Servicing costs Obviously not a specialist who cares! Mine was where I bought the car - they have always been very fair and I'd get my next one there. |
