Servicing the Fabia vRS - do the dealers even know the correct info ?

[mcbunny]

right just had my car serviced i asked for the 30k service as its at 29600ish they told me

This always confuses everyone - it does seem like it's every 10k and 12 months too! :thumbdwn:

You need so have an annual inspection each year so if you'd had the lube service, you would have had to go back for an inspection service before the year is out. The idea of the lube service is to save people who do 20k a year from having to pay out for 2 annual inspections when they only need one

cool thats ok then but im not been charged it when they told me 115

The way I undrestand it is..........10k or 12 months which ever comes first....Then 20k or 12 months which ever comes first... Then 30k or 12 months Ect Ect....Not 10k and 12 months.....................Andy

so it is actually 10k +12 months if you do less than 20k but over 10k

why cant they just have a sensible service plan 183 seems a bit high for the anual service tho :s

[ScoobyChris]

The standard servicing regime:

10k miles or 12 months

20k miles or 24 months

30k miles or 36 months

etc, etc

So for these you would pay for an annual inspection + oil change + anything specific to that service.

However, if you do 20k miles in a year, you can opt to defer the insepction to the 20k service and just have a lube service at the 10k interval. I suspect not a lot of Fabia drivers do more than 10k a year which is why the lube service isn't openly advertised by a lot of the dealers I've visited....

When you have your car serviced what is the point of carrying out the oil change etc without doing a check on everything there.

I think it is more of a ply by the dealers to get more money off you.

After you have a service the car requires another one 10,000 miles of 12 months after your last service.

Skoda specifies the service internvals not the dealers.
