Hi, today my grandma took her Volkswagen Up for it's servicing and it cost her 782.16 pounds. It's been service every year and has only done around 2.5k miles in past twelve months since the last servicing with a total of 16.5k miles.
The question is, is all of this maintenance (mostly brakes and heat shield) necessary for such little mileage?
Attached should be a copy of the invoice.

Welcome to 2carpros. Com

In the US, that is over 1000.00 dollars. So, I have to ask what was done. You said mostly brakes. What was done to the brakes and why? Next, a heat shield isn't something is receives maintenance. If they come loose, there are different ways to reattach them, but I can't imagine it costing much at all. Which heat shields were serviced and what exactly did they do?

Let me know.
