The VW dealer I've been going to for years seems to do their standard VW Servicing at the VW 3+ year fixed price rates pretty much. So, no great news there then. BUT they are quite literally in the middle of nowhere, meaning that their labour rates are substantially less (presumably as their overheads are that much less) than any other dealer in my area, so the rest of work is much cheaper. All their staff have been there for ever so really know their stuff and you actually are able to get to know them, and them you. Plus they still remember what service is....

Their Audi Service Rates seem to be even more competitive. Forum member bogey888 went there a few days ago and saved more than half on his local Audi dealer quote. They even ferried him to and from the local golf course.

The rest of the saving is they're nearish to Stansted airport, so you can drop your car off there while you're away on holiday (when you don't need it), they'll run you to the airport in their mini-bus and you save on those grusome car parking charges.

Dunno if this works if your flight is at an anti-social time, somehow I doubt it but I guess you can ask.

Can't afford a foreign holiday this year so you can have my slot.....
