Extortionate first service quotation

I contacted Simpsons Skoda in Preston recently for a quote to service my car. The car is approaching 2 years old is a 1.4 tsi petrol and has only covered 1200 genuine miles. For an oil, oil filter and pollen filter service i was quoted £334.98 including vat. I then rang about a couple of independant skoda specialists who quoted me less than half the price to carry out exactly the same work using genuine parts and are also able to update the online service records. Why would you pay main dealer prices?
