  6. Main Stealers - Service Charges

    Hi All, I am in quite a lucky position compared with some that I have 3 Seat main dealers in my area. 1 is 6 miles away, another 10 miles and the other 19 miles. I tend to use the one furthest away as they give the best service (and I fell out with the closest one). Anyway, I phoned all 3...

    My 02/52 TDI SE was due the annual inspection service and also required a brake fluid change, front discs and pads and cabin filter. So thinking Skoda might be a bit cheaper than SEAT I had an estimate for the service at my local Skoda dealer. Approximately £450 I was quoted for that...

    Not a gripe - automated main site article posts

    Just a thought - could the site swear filter be used to replace the control codes in the automated posts with the correct characters? I know there are some forums which apply slang filters to remove bits of txt spk and I wondered if the same thing could be applied here?

    Courtesy cars from main dealers

    for the sake of arguement, if I buy a new SEAT from either a SEAT dealer or broker, then take it to a different SEAT garage for servicing, am I any less likely to get a courtesy car if they know my car wasn't purchased from them? What's making me wonder is this (quote from a SEAT salesman I...
