Well the car is booked in for the end of warranty issues list, as part of the online check in they try upselling a few consumables..
Windscreen wipers £70.
£70 for a pair of wipers for A6 C8, these things must be made out of rubber plated gold.
At the last service of my Skoda Superb, I was ‘advised’ that the wipers were ‘smearing’ and they would be happy to change the blades for £92!Windscreen wipers £70.

I politely declined. For one thing, as the driver I suspect I am a better judge of when they need changing; for another I believed (correctly) that the blades would cost about £25 from Halfords; and finally I imagine that someone who takes their car to a garage to get new wiper blades fitted, is the sort of person who takes their bike to a cycle shop to get a puncture repaired.

Our S500 had stupidly expensive wipers, over £100 iirc, because the screenwash used to come through the blades.
The XC90 we change it for has a much better design with the jets on the arm themselves, so the blade is normal price and the function is the same
My Peugeot 405s had washers with hoses that came up the wiper arms and jets that came out right in front of the blades. That was nearly 30 years ago. Why do manufacturers not do this now? It was a great system.The XC90 we change it for has a much better design with the jets on the arm themselves, so the blade is normal price and the function is the same
I had an unpleasant surprise. Having been quoted a very high price for genuine Valeo SWF replacement wipers I decided to buy the cheaper Bosch Aerotwin instead. They turned out not to be directly interchangeable and the Bosch wiper fittings needed extensive modification to make them fit the wiper arm. Frustrating.

If I buy online , I only buy from Amazon if it is sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Any third party seller can supply counterfeit items to be fulfilled by Amazon.
I don't like ECP and their fake discounts so rarely use them - 60% off wipers today = £29.99, next day 33% off wipers today = £29.99.
