:? Stealer cheaper than local specialist?

[K-rado 0]

:? I have decided to have my Storm serviced (a 60k mls) and desided to shop around.

 

My local VW independant specialist = £194.50 +vat (DS Motors)

Wayside VW Towcester = £235 incl

Wayside VW Milton Key = £174 incl

 

needless to say I will be of to MK on Tuesday morning for the full works and the use of a car for the day. Not bad eh?

 

oh and while i was at it.

 

Wayside VW Towcester wanted £280 incl odd for replacement of NSF Outer CV joint replacement.

 

I Talked to Darren of DS Motors who will fit my GSF CV and Boot kit that i got for around £41 for £70+vat and will sort out the tracking and camber if needed for around £80 +vat. He is also doing my break fluid change for £30+vat as opposed to VW all in £57.50.

 

and the morel of the story is shop around. you may find your local Stealer to be cheaper than your local greese monkey. now I know some of you may get your service cheaper but is it a 10k 20k 40k or 60k jobbie and does it have that all important stamp? I would be interested to know what it costs. I feel happy that i saved around £100 to £250 just by shopping around :wink:

Interesting my 60k service for my Storm was £145 incl and I still moaned that it was daylight robbery. :lol:

How can the two Vw dealerships quote you two prices with £61 of difference for supposedly the same service :?:

Certainly as with everything else it pays to shop around :wink:

I was in Wayside VW in Milton Keynes a few weeks ago doing some work - parked up in the car park and was walking towards showroom when a mechanic (sorry, technician) walked past and looked at the car Rado G60) - his comment - nice car, what is it - didn't exactly inspire me with confidence

Not necessarily. I took my car to the bedford dealers for a new ignition barrel and they have f@@ked my immobiliser and are not admitting responsibility because it wasn't factory fitted so they don't know how it works!!

Wrote to head of VW UK and they did sweet FA about it. :(
