It's the time we all dread, service and MOT. Just been quoted £282.65 for a full service and MOT for my 2.0 tdi. Does that seem a bit steep? I do get a courtesy car and trust the garage to do a good job. I know I could get cheaper but not being mechanically minded I'm worried I could get ripped off. Anybody recommend a garage around the wiltshire/Hampshire area?

Not really relevant to your question, but I just wanted to say that full service + MOT costs about 550 Euros here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so the price you stated sounds reasonable for me (but still, I am not from UK and have no idea how prices there go).

Its a fair price if it includes mot, cant argue at that tbh, mot is £50 alone usually, you can get cheaper for just about every item in the world, but whether its of a same standard is another matter

Audi fixed price servicing is

Interim Service £159
Major Service £309
MOT £49.99

Good benchmark to use if you're shopping around or using independents.

Not feel confident in doing it yourself? Can save a couple of pennies.

Thats a local indy, the car has been pretty much been serviced + MOT there all its life. I have a mate who's services his 520d himself and has offered to service mine in exchange for some beer tokens. But come resale time i will probably lose out. I guess thats a reasonable price.
