    First Service MK6 GTI

    My car is coming up for its first service and called up Barloworld for booking and was advised of $435 with no loan car. I called up Paul Wakeling in Campbeltown out of curiosity(its near my work) and was quoted $280.

    Is Paul Wakeling recommended or should i go to Barloworld, any major difference between these two.

    I know that Denlo at Parramatta have a few loan cars... but they're limited so you have to book weeks, sometimes months, in advance.
    They also offer a courtesy pickup/drop off to the Parramatta area, including the train station.
    And also free wireless internet so you could actually telecommute whilst waiting for the car to be serviced.

    I'm sure several other dealers are also setup in this manner - you just have to ring around and ask....

    $435 is absolute BS. My first service cost me about $180. How many kms have you done?

    the castrol slx oil itself is already around $100.

    + loan car
    + oil filter
    + labour ($100/hr?)
    + consumptions
    + car wash n vacuum
    + dealer stamp

    non dealers can do $150-$200 without the castrol slx but other vw approved oil + oem filter, but no extras as above.
