| Re: Service costs Do you live near one of the specialist tuners on Briskoda? I take my car to JBS Auto Designs as its cheaper than the nearest dealer, even though its slightly further for me to travel. JBS use genuine Skoda parts so your warrenty is not affected, so if one is near you, it may be worth considering.. Just a thought if you live near one of them...?

| Re: Service costs If you should want to stick with a main dealer, try phoning all dealers within a sensible reach to compare prices. Then contact your preferred/local dealer and ask them to match the price. We saved £55 on our 20k service that way. All the Best Chris

I hope the service was carried out to Skodas schedule. And i take it you are on fixed servicing if you had a 20k service rather than a variable service. Last edited by Lummox; 24-04-2006 at 20:42. | |

| Re: Service costs Im curious how they can do a 2 hr service inc the correct oil for a PD engine for £68. The oil costs the min £20 on its own if you go for a cheaper brand. Oil filter is about £8 and a pollen filter is around £10. That leaves £30 labour, naffing cheap labour rate that. |

| Re: Service costs Fully synth oil it may be but it must meet 505.01 standard, if it dont it doesnt comply with the Skoda specs. |

| Briskodian  | Re: Service costs Servicing charges on cars by main stream dealers are nothing to the "real" taxi rates near me  its much cheaper to use private hire with beat up old cars. ....Only jocking but making a comparison of trades light blue paper and retire to a distance |
