15,000km Service Cost from Each Dealer Outlined

[Club75]

I personally wont use dealers. I have used Automotive Hospital in haberfield with my previous Golf GTI & highly recommend them. I have just booked my Golf R in for its 15k service & priced me $320.

Bit of history, but still relevant. April 2012, Wangara VW (northern suburbs Perth dealer), 15K service after 9 months: $442.50, inclusive of $110 for oil and $18 of fuel additive (which worked really well - keep reading).

Currently about due for the 2 year interval service, but won't be any charge for engine-related items (we assume) as the engine is brand new after dying at 24500 km. After reading some of this thread, I may shop around Perth dealers....

Also of note, capped price servicing is taking effect shortly across the range of 2013 models

15k service done yesterday at Ashbury Service Centre

$85 for Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5L (504 00/507 00) @ Repco
$24 for OEM VW oil filter (and sump plug) from Barloworld VW
$100 for the logbook service

All in: $209
Paul Wakeling : would have been $395

Savings : $186 (can go towards some Focal speakers )



Won't use the "stealers" for service, only warranty work. And Barloworld had the best prices for parts I ordered of anyone within 100km of SYD. And really helpful and nice parts manager! Definitely will use them for parts.

Of course that happens right after we bought the car, end of November 2012. But even the capped prices are still a bit much, cheaper than those of us who bought before January 1, 2013, but not really reasonable by any means.

Had my 15k service yesterday at Garry Crick Maroochydore:

Service $364
Tyre rotate $30

This include $22 for washer additive which I am going to follow up because I only filled the tank 10 days ago and it hadn't been used so I am not sure what they filled.

That's the most expensive windscreen washer aditive I've seen.

Could've been the 1L bottle of genuine soap?

...or $2.20 and he missed the decimal point.
