1st Service

Post by Rayrahman »

Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but cant find anywhere for servicing etc....

Car goes in for it's first 20k service next week (only 5 months old) and my company has booked it into; Halfords Auto Centre?!?!?! Anyone have any experience with them and what are their standards like?
If they are crap I'll get them to send it elsewhere

thanks in advance, Ray :(

Ah company car schemes, a supplier of mine had the same issue with his seat exeo. Send it elsewhere (main dealer, independent), don't even entertainment it.

20k in 5 months crikey.. if it's a company car or similar don't they have to be serviced by VW at least for the period of the lease/agreement? Unless your company has bought the car outright (unusual).

It's leased from Lex autolease on a 4 year agreement. I do 50k per annum so I'd love to see what they try and sell it for with 200k on the clock!

Now booked into VW main dealer in Middlesbrough :)
