To service or not

I am due a service this month and have had a quote of £120 from local dealer which i assume parts are added on top.

I priced this up myself and parts would cost £37 oil and £5 oil filter.

Is it worth using dealer or DIY ??

My car is 4 1/2 years old, is it worth keeping the service book going ??

Thanks

:D

Do it yourself but keep the receipts and note on them when you carried out the work and the mileage

personal choice and whether you want a dealer stamp in the book.

Personally i take my car to VW for services as i like a full VW service history and i wouldn't be able to do the stuff myself.
