I work pretty much right next door to them, I asked them years ago about servicing it and they didn't want to...back then the Bayford part of them existed though so maybe they weren't allowed to steal from their own Skoda dealer....I'll tell you what the mechanics there sure thrash the customers cars, they for some reason need to take a lot of Golf Rs and GTis out for "road tests" a lot that involves some tyre screeching...
Ultratune, $244, as per log book for 30k service. Easy.
I guess you just need to askQuote:

How are you scanning for fault codes.
It's not like it's a technically difficult process.
I'd love to see them thrashing my lowly 77kw TDI. In fact you probably couldn't tell it was being hammered. Regardless it has so far come back unharmed so not worried TBH, in fact it spends so much time stuck in traffic a damn good thrashing is exactly what it needs :biggrin:
But yes, they will service Skoda after telling you they don't sell them in the Bayford group any more.
$565 at Nepean Motor Group. Didn't even try to rort me with extras this time (other than the price). Damn you convenience
My own fault, I need to read the fine print on the 6 year warranty and decide if its worth continuing to service there.
And I forgot to ask them NOT to wash the car :(
Yep just had mine done at Nepean Motor Group too, came to $537 (they tried to sell me on a $98 anti-bacterial treatment for the air-con.. errr no thanks).
The extra 3 yr warranty is why I get the scheduled services done there, with the DSG being my key concern once the initial 3yr warranty period expires. I figure the premium I pay for annual dealer servicing could end up being cheap insurance should something happen in years 4, 5 or 6 of my ownership, touch wood.
Oh and I rmbrd to tell them not to wash it!!
BTW they gave me a diesel Yeti (demo model) as a courtesy car, only had 2K on the clock, that was interesting to drive..not my kind of vehicle but there's a fair amount of room in that boxy cabin I must say!!
Hmmm - $30 cheaper. They wouldn't even haggle with me! However, the first call was $598 so maybe its random price servicing...Quote:
