SEAT don't do the cambelt automatically at 60k - i've heard well over 100k quoted from the stealers for mine.. One point to note - if you're getting the cambelt done then get your water pump changed at the same time as they have plastic implellers that shear off (mine went at 40k and I did the cambelt at the same time - found a friendly audi mechanic who did the whole lot for 100 cash!).

As for your warranty - get the service done (and if they're offering half cost service all the better) as it's 1 year OR 10k whichever is sooner. You don't have to use a SEAT garage but for the money you're being offered (and the dealer's stamp in your book) i'd do it. If you had an agreement then press sales on it and see where you'll go - they'll want you happy so you'll come back for servicing.
