A service includes oil, filters (oil, air, cabin, sometimes fuel) and the checklist in the service book. In the EU it keeps the manufacturer warranty even outside the dealer network, provided parts are of matching quality.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a full manufacturer service volkswagen passat cost?

At an independent garage, expect £165 to £390, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £225 – £625.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. Volkswagen Passat: 1 – 2 h.

Why is the dealer more expensive?

Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.
