Hi all
Bought a '18 plate 1.4 150 earlier this year. It had 13k on it and is on long life servicing. I should probably have got the oil changed when I bought it, but didn't so now looking to get it booked in for what will be its first service. Bit confused about the pricing...
My local dealer is quoting £209 for the first service, which they said is a 'minor' one (so basically oil and filter change as far as I can see). On the Seat website though, minor services are priced at £175, but they do say long life service costs vary - I don't see why as presumably an oil change is an oil change? So should I be arguing this should be at the website price? I'm going to ask them to move it onto fixed (yearly) intervals now anyway, so can't see that they will do anything different to a fixed interval service?
Hope that makes sense. I don't mind paying dealer prices in general as I think it's worth it for the future value, but I do want to pay the right price for what I'm getting...
Cheers
Joe
