Well Rachels £146 quid service included a oil change, new oil filter, new oil, engine flush :)

No spark plugs, no pollen filter :lol:

All she got for her time was a stamp in the book.

5 litres of 0w 40 motorsport oil= £15
oil filter = £1

£16 a go for me:)

Yep good oil for vags, think thats what vw use aswell. But price is definately steep!

I would to

i was thinking that everytime they said "lube"

Did they not include an anal lube in the 'full lube' service

full synth

Quantum stuff is pretty good, thats what we usually use. Was it the 5w - 30 fully synthetic? Still at our gare would be about 40 quid even with that oil.

whats that quantum stuff like :boggle:

Yeah they tell everyone that :lol:

The best oil to put in a vaux engine is the stuff they use :boggle:

Would have been £300 if you took it to Vaux :|

£40 oil change....are they using vegi oil:boggle:

Oh well! Least gear box oil doesn't need doing for a while :lol:

well and truly shafted!

Noticed me car had uber low oil level so decided to get an oil filter change, i needed to take it somewhere this morning for work reasons, found a place called "The VW Centre" asked for just an oil/filter change, didnt think to ask how much it would cost.

Went to pick it up and the women was going "Ok weve given it a lube service"

At this point i though, ok fancy name for oil/filter change then.

She then said

"Weve checked all the gearbox oil levels and all other lube levels."

I thought, I didnt ask for that but ok carry on.

She drew up the bill and said that will be £90 please, i thought WTF, I said I didnt ask for all that other crap i just want an oil/filter change, at SEAT its only £65 so i said how the fuck can you charge me £90!!!

She said ok for this time we'l just charge you parts and labour, which was

Oil £19 - ok
Filter £5 - ok
Labour £40 (1 hour)

all plus VAT still made the bill £75 :(

nothing really I could but pay, id normally do it myself but didnt mind paying like 40 quid purely because i couldnt be arsed to do it,
oh well lessons learnt, dont get spanners monkeys to do work on your car
