Fabia 1st service

S41NT · 21-08-2007, 10:26

The Spanner came on for first service so I phoned Barkers in GY, where i got mine from, for a quote: £185 +£5 environmental charge!!
Then Hortens in Lincoln: £175.
So tried Harniess in Louth who were a Skoda Dealer up until last year: £120 and they said they'll use Skoda parts obviously for the warranty.

So i went here for it as the other £55+ is better off in my 4rse pocket.
Turned up to get it 2 hours later and recievd the bill.........
£104.03
Bargain, well recomended if you live near Louth, Lincolnshire.

Where do these other jokers get their prices from? I maintained a FVWSH for my MK4 golf GTi and the main dealers f**ked my car up. Also when they changed the front nearside headlamp they forgot to connect it back up

, muppets.

If it's an annual service you were quoted for on top of the 10k oil change, then £200 isn't that bad as quite a lot gets done - it's all explained in the Service Schedule... I've found that indies have their upsides and downsides, but if you find a good'un, then they're definitely worth it!
