a question on servicing costs....

[big_chris1981 0]

just wondering how much people pay for a 10K service?

 

(oil/filter and sump plug change + inspection)

 

idle curiosity thats all.

Peter Cooper do a motivate / annual service for £99 or £199 I believe.

 

I rang around a few places for a friend who needs to service his MK4 GTI and Peter Cooper were the cheapest out of the people I called!!!

 

I didn't expect a VW dealership to be cheaper than independent garages!

Erm, I know someone who knows the guy at my local VW garage, I got my last service (including oil and oil filter change, front brake pads swapped [labour only] and brakes bled) for £90... including the VW stamp in my book, lol.

Not sure.. every time I have a service done on my cars, there is always something else that needs doing! Never seem to have a normal bill! :)

My local guy does em for about 80 quid, plus whatever he finds wrong. Id trust him with any dub. He is an ex dub mechanic who left to do his own thing and is in the process of putting together a Mk1 trqck day car. Top bloke.

so, £80 is a reasonable price for an idependant?

sounds like a pretty good price...

To give you some idea mate, had mine fully serviced at C&R Enterprises at Nottingham when I first bought my C.

 

Ended up with a bill for £260!

 

Nothing major done to it either. Itemised bill showed I'd been charged £1.25 for emery paper and £2 to top up my screenwash, on top of the £50 an hour labour rate.
