Depends on if that is a Masterfit or VX OE service
Also whether it is the minor (oil, oil filter, and pollen filter) or major (as minor plus air filter and fuel filter)

The Masterfit uses AfterMarket parts, still to VX specification but cheaper, but does NOT include the Pollen Filter
Also typically using 10W40 synthetic oil, unless you specify GM-LL oil

The VX OE service will be all points as required, plus using GM-LL specification oil

Therefore phone them back to confirm which parts are included
However at £139 that is great value for money for a minor service (makes me suspect it is the Masterfit service)

As far as I am aware all VX dealership garages trade under the name Masterfit
Therefore you need to be careful when booking the car in for a service

If under OE warranty then the OE service should be used
Once out of warranty then request the Masterfit service, then add Pollen Filter and Door Lubrication (the main missing items)
