Booked my first service today at Arnold Clark Linwood, £135 + VAT with a 10% discount because I bought the car from them. Still a lot of money for the trainee to do an oil change and a stamp on the book but at least less than the £180 I was expecting.

I wonder if JustVWAudi would like to start a franchise in the North...... would make a bomb up here.

Called around today for a quote for a first year service on my 1.4 sport. Got quoted £215 at the garage i baught it. I was shocked, thought it would be bout £100. Found another Seat dealer thats guna do it for £150, Quite a difference. Still too much for what they do on a first service, could do it myself but i want the stamp. 
Make sure you've got the right service - ie if you do under 10k a year, the annual service, or if you do more, the 10k service. 10k service is cheaper than the annual one.

Get it done at an indy. Lot cheaper and certainly from experience a better service

all done yesterday
charged me 1.96+ vat for screen wash even though i made sure it was filled up the night before.
also 38quid to strip and clean the rear brakes all so they were able to adjust the handbrake
when washing today iv noticed they have damaged the front drivers side alloy on the edge.
called down a few hours ago and they dont see how they have done it because there was no need to remove the front wheels on a 1st service but recon they have 6 spy cameras around the workshop and outside so they are going to check them.
said he will ring me, probley thursday when they have checked the cameras. said it seemed stupid to repair that one and leave the other small one on the wheel so he said if it was there fault then he will pay half and i pay half.
its not deep its just a light scuff.
anyone know how much they are likely to charge?
the paint has also rippled litely on the rear centre caps where they have put something through they little hole to get them off
and even then i dont know how they have got them off because the amp and sub in the boot havent moved for them to be able to lift the carpet up to get to the locking nut end. or will they have ones that fit in there tool box?
