Suggestions for 15000km service in WA

[darkfriend]

Hi All,

Sorry If I'm posting in the wrong forum.

I'm due for my 12 month service (now have done 12000km) and live in WA. Had my 6 month service at Wangara- they were nice but expensive ($395 and that's really just for an oil change). I have phoned them twice now to book my next service and want to haggle for a price, however the service guys are always busy and do not get back to me.

I've been quoted $380 at Osborne Park VW and $321 at John Hughes Vic Park VW... so I guess Wangara won't haggle and won't return my calls.

I bought my car from Osborne Park and had some problems with them... and Vic Park is very inconvenient.

Any suggestions in WA for a reasonable priced service at a place that has the right equipment for the 118TSI? Anyone been to Golfwagen

Thanks

We got our A3 50000km service done at Quattro Motors in Burswood, it was $460 including new brake pads and labour for changing them.

Haven't hit our first service on our new Golf Wagon yet, but Wangara VW were great to deal with in buying it, not sure on servicing...

I haven't used them myself but I have heard quattro motors are decent, they are also the WA APR dealers. I'm probably going to give them a try for my services once I get my car.

Haha beat me to it

Wow, that's very poor form of Wangara to jip you with a 6 month service, the service book states your car only needs 12 month/15k km servicing!

I took my 118TSI to Golfwagen. No dramas, very efficient, had all the VAG equipment and approved oil/parts etc, it came to ~$295 and there is a very nice coffee shop just out the front if you want to wait for the ~1¼hours it takes. Recommended.

Thanks everyone,

I might give Golfwagen a go. You have to wonder why Wangara VW (and the other dealers) are charging so much when there is much cheaper competition.

I appreciate you quick replies.

Cause they can....

Under any and all circumstances stay away from Wangara and Osborne Park VW dealerships for your servicing - (or really anything)...

I've only ever heard - and read horror stories from both. Have a search in these and the vwgolf.net.au forums to see what I'm on about.

I'm going to Quattro's!

I had my 7500km serivce at Wanagra - have to say yes it was expensive but the service was great and they provided me with a loan car. Because of the hours that I work, I dropped my car off the night before the service and picked up the loan car.... took the loan car to work the next day and then picked my car up in the arvo. It was uber convenient.
I have also been told that Golfwagon are good and also in NOR.
I am due for my 15000km service in about a months time and will take it back to Wanagra because I unhappy with the tint (this was done where I bought the car from at/for Melville DVG - terrible after sales customer care!!, they had 'supposedly' fixed the tint bubbles) and the service girl has promised to get one of thier tint guys to fix it for me.
Keen to know what you think of Golfwagon and what the cost difference is!

My experience with Wangara VW is more than good.

I have been getting my and my daughters car serviced there.. when I had problems (famous supercharger squeak) with 118TSI, they provided me with loan car (free of charge) for couple of days.
When they where changing w/pump on my GTI again free loan car for couple of days.

For servicing (because it 30 km from my home) I usually wait a couple of hours at the dealership.
