Instead of creating a new thread:

Just had my 30000k service done at Volkspower (Burwood, Melbourne). Despite it being a slightly bigger service than the 15k one they were over $100 cheaper than Berwick VW, provide the same drop/off pickup service to the nearest train station as Berwick did, or can loan a curtesy car (MK3 Golf), PLUS they washed it for me (are dealers supposed to do that, because Berwick didn't last time). Service book is stamped (Volkspower stamp, not VW). I now also have a little Volkspower sticker on the back windscreen which I'll probaby remove after a couple of days. This post should make up for it anyway.

All up $297 + highly recommended. The only problem for me personally is that I have to leave work an hour early to get there by 5pm. Normally that would be fine, except I may have to go back to work tomorrow arvo to finish something off before Monday.
