Anyone any recommendations VW servicing in or around Edinburgh?
Got a 2016 Golf GT thats due it first service. Phoned Western Volkswagon at Fort Kinnaird and they're quoting £224. Seems a tad steep to me!?

VW servicing - Edinburgh?

I currently own a Mazda but if I want a manufacturers service I would normally expect to shell out about £200. Sometimes slightly more if its a "big one". That being said there is no doubt you could get one cheaper elsewhere. I don't know who to recommend in Edinburgh though.

You have, probably, a £15-20K motor, go to the dealer and pay up. Looks better on the service record too when you come to sell it.

I've used Jack Walker Partnership along Turnhouse Road(Maybury) plenty times and they are VAG Specialists(Volkswagen Audi Group for you filthy minded types up the back).
Raymond who covers the front desk is brilliant and unlike most garages they give a fairly accurate appraisal of works needed, none of this chin stroking nonsense you might find elsewhere!

You can buy the air filter, oil filter, fuel filter and oil (ie the service kit) for £40 - £50 . The rest of the price you've been quoted is just the dealer screwing you over.

VW price match local specialists get a quote elsewhere and get negotiating.

I've never used them but these guys are supposed to be vw approved for servicing but not a dealership. Might be worth a try?
