15,000km Service Cost from Each Dealer Outlined

[Stump]

This will be an interesting exercise when mine falls due.... only at 2450 at present.....

The 3 dealers closest to me are ALL owned by the same franchise.....
Guess I can ring north and south as well to check pricing....

well done on the pricing - i would really love to know why these services differ in prices! Fixed time, fixed parts, where are they adding the fat?

Different locations (different customers etc), different costs (rent etc), different services (car washes, loan cars, waiting rooms, courtesy buses all don't pay for themselves), different businesses (different hourly rates) and so forth.

I'd rather pay a price that is based on local factors than some fixed price and subsidise other locations. The differences in costs between different dealers is bugger all at the end of the day.

Yeah, I've heard of people driving to Gelong to get their car serviced to save $40

would cost half that in fuel not taking into consideration any value put on the time.

I go to the closest dealer to the house, where i also bought from, and they look after me.

I got mine booked at Chatswood for 430! Don't think that is a very good price, but just bcoz I work near the place it is easy for me to drop the car and pick. Does any one have any idea how much it will cost when services with Sydney metro dealers? Mine is a118 TSI, 15K service.

Maybe you could remind the dealer of this (that you purchased the car through them) when you book it in..... hinting for a discount.... They can only say No - it might be worth a try!

Off topic.... can we see a pic of lance?
