had 15,000km service done today at essendon vw they are only 10 mins from the city ie Moonee Ponds. you can catch a tram back if you like. Cost was $379 (they stated $381) up front so can't complain, and includes a free wash if you so desire and a coffee. No complaints from me, took them about 2 hours. They also do a full safety check (saw them doing part of it) and scan to see if any fault codes logged. They mentioned you can come back any time for a free oil top up if required. Overall would reccomend.
