Car due to a Service...

Okay.. I've booked my car in for a 20k service early June. I've been quoted £200 + £45 brake fluid change for a Seat Leon Cupra R 1.8T. I'm not sure how to make the whole transaction MSE!!! It's only on 15k but had it's 10k service at 5k and as I want to car to serve me well I'd rather be alittle early then late.

I can pay on my Amex card and earn a few nectar points but not sure whatelse I can do to save money!!! I was thinking maybe checking out Skoda servicing price as the Octavia has the same engine, so same service right??

Anyone else got any good ideas? :confused:

    IO guess the car is under warranty? If so then under the block exemption rules you can take the car anywhere as long as you can prove that the servicing was carried out in acordance with the manufacturers schedule and using genuine parts, however delears can be awkward over this if you have problems. Have you tried any other seat dealerships to compare price? If you are only saving a couple of quid going somewhere else I wouldnt bother as it may affect the resale of your car not having a full seat hisory when you come to sell.
