I got quoted ~ $450 at Artarmon, (Chatswood Classic Cars).

The thing with dealers is, I don't feel like a full service with all the checks is actually done for the extreme price paid.

Some recommendations could help ease my mind. =)

I live in the Hills as well, I took mine to Blacktown vw, they can't advertise they can service anything else but commercial vehicles but you can book in whatever you like. I think I paid $360 or so at my 15K service. They picked up an oil leak coming from the turbo and fixEd it all under warranty.

Now the only issue is you end up voiding your dealer extended warranty but I am not sure that is worth anything. I plan on taking it back there for my 30K service in May

Yeah it does void the dealer warranty but I heard it is pretty much useless. I should use the discount on the first 3 service to contribute to getting a proper extended warranty.

I'll check out the places mentioned.

Cheers

Golf R DSG, 12 month service (5850 km) $460. Austral VW. First service now done, will be looking at independent supplier to look after from here on in.

Where are you in the hills and what do I keep my eyes open for cruising the streets

Castle Hill.

I actually noticed a done up GTI in my area. Probably on the forums. Short number plate, BMZ or something.

I had my last service at Ramspeed Seven hills ,they only do European cars, and there not too far from you /
INDEPENDENT VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE | RAMSPEED AUTOMOTIVE

I plan on using them after the 3 year warranty ends, 2 services to go :)

For those playing at home, the oil filter for these is about $30.

For my 15k service I took Candy to Camden GTI in Campbelltown. From memory it was like $265 for the service and they gave me a loan car for the day (Audi A3 - old but solid). They only service VW family brands and the service was pretty good.
