Vehicle Servicing

All Autobarn vehicle services use genuine or OE quality Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda parts including oils. We will always keep the parts we have replaced so you can see what has been removed and why.

Can Autobarn update my online digital service schedules?

From 2013 Audi no longer used traditional service books and released the online digital service schedule that can be accessed throughout the entire dealer network so that lost or fraudulent service books are no more, most other brands will soon follow. Yes we have access to the main dealer portal to update your service schedules so that the resale value of your vehicle will not be effected by using an independent specialist.

Will servicing my car in an independent garage invalidate my manufactures warranty?

Are you aware that since October 2003 you are entitled to get your car serviced where you choose….. No More Main Dealer Prices. As long as genuine parts are used and the service is carried out to manufacturers specification. In an independent Survey carried out by The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) they found that servicing a car at a Main Dealer was typically £83 more expensive than at an Independent Garage such as us.

At Autobarn, we will give you a price for your service or repair. Should we find further problems whilst working on your car, we will phone you and clear with you any extra costs before we do any other work. Our labour costs are £65.00/hr + VAT, typically 50% lower than main dealerships.
