MOT and Service Cost

Hi,

I do not know a huge amount about cars but my 03 Golf is due a full service and MOT, its on about 93,000 miles.

I have so far been quoted just short of £330 for a full service and MOT by a local garage.

I was expecting to pay around the £200 mark for this and was hoping to get some advice from some more knowledgable people.

Thanks for your time,

Jake

There are really different levels of service. Some garages can just change the oil and few small things and charge you a lot of money. What you need to do is to see a VW approved garage. At 93,000 it may be due for a lot of filter and part changes. If you like your car, it doesn't give you any troubles and you intend to keep it, you would benefit from a proper service. It will increase performance, reduce petrol usage and the auto will last longer. It would make sense to invest a little especially if you haven't had a proper VW service for some time.
