g-man85 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Went into Seat to talk about getting my cambelt changed for a rough price.....The man went 'ermmm' looked at the service charges, just pointed to a Ibiza TDI cambelt change and said it'll be £395 for the cambelt change on your Arosa style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Then I phoned my nearby VAG specialist, he said he can do it for £250 inc parts. I don't understand as the workshop manual quote 2 hours to do the cambelt so how have Seat got £395 from?Dealers are stealers style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) There the same for every maufacturer main stealer everywhere! i.e. my dads rangie needed a service and oil change the stealer wanted £400 a LR specialist wanted £295 and even when you tell the stealer that so and so can do it for x amount they just cant match it!

Max69vk Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Sounds about right, my local dealer wanted £295 for a 40,000 mile service + another £90 for a brake fluid change. Went to another garage (whose mechnics are VW trained) & got quoted £180 for the lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
