10.000 mile service

[jmk1]

Had the Polo serviced on Tuesday. VW garage.

The total cost was £129 .The oil and filter was changed.

The oil came to £34 .The total cost for parts was £40.

So for an inspection service (how can a garage call that a service)

or to put it another way I paid a garage £89 to tell me what needed

doing to my car Daylight Robbery in my opinion

I know what you mean, tomorrow my tdi100 is having a 40k service (the big one) and MOT, ive been told it will cost £265 if it passes the MOT. I keep telling myself the residual value will be better with a full VWSH.

I have never had a VW before (always had Vauxhall or Fords)

I thought in a 10.000 service they would at least include Plugs and other

bits and pieces etc. At £129 to change the oil and filter and supply me

with a reort on whats wrong with my car , I think is daylight robbery.

In future I'll change my own oil.

What do you guys do with your old oil?
Didnt you read the reports on the news about company garages charging rediculous amounts?

Or was it a VW specialist garage?

my local tip has a oil recycling plant. so you bottle it up in a milk carton or summat and take it down there declaire engine oil they point you to a shed int eh corner and you pour the oil into a bucket in the shed and they deal with it.
