This car is a commuter that gets a bit of stick now and then, I don't think it's really in need of an oil change and after reading some of the prices in this thread ($400) I'm even less interested... is this actually even needed or are they taking the piss?
I was sent the you have been tentatively booked in for a 6 month service letter from Ozzy Park. When I rang them and asked exactly what was to be done they said an oil change would not be done unless I had done at least 10,000km to which I replied what was the point of the service.

Anyway it's going to get done at 10 months and somewhere between 10-11K km before I head off the Bathurst and MotoGP. Yet to decide who is going to be doing it but I never let Ozzy Park service the STi ( Same workshop as Subaru next door ) and I really don't think I want them doing the GTI either.

Don't give two craps about the cost as long as whatever should get done actually is done and the thing doesn't get damaged or thrashed ( by anyone but me )
