perth people - wangara VW

Yeah it was $40 and I had to fill it up with fuel back to the level it was at before returning it. So another $10 for diesel.

Expensive but not much I could about it as I needed a car.

I went to Wangara because that's where the car was purchased and they have been pretty good so far, I'd heard of people not being happy with OP and JH.

I think next time I'll go with John Hughes if I stick with VW dealers as they're closest to home.

I've just booked my Jetta in for its first service (7500km) at Wangara VW. I was quoted $349.16, plus $39.50 for a loan car if i needed one. Personally I think that $349.16 is alot for an oil change, but as I am a new VW owner, I thought I'd take it to the dealer for its first anyway. I might do some research for its next service to see if Wangara VW is competitively priced or not.

When did VW start penning in formal 7500km services?
I just noticed my Pirelli has a 7500 sticker on the windscreen, but my GT was 15,000...

I'll still go in for a 7500 oil change as a habit, but the fact it is written down on my windscreen is mildly irritating

Don't tell me to rtfm... I cbf.

Sorry mate, English is my second language (as you know) do you mind translating? I seriously have no idea what that means

Issues resolved.

i have had a really really bad experience with OPVW. They were supposed to replace a front wheel bearing. They didnt do the wheel alignment (the car was not pulling to the left, it was turning tothe left) and they damaged my front bumper. I did a full writeup with pics on here.
I bought the two grilles in the bumper from Wangara VW. they had to order them and after 2 weeks i called to see if they got them and the guy said that they were sitting on the shelf for a good week. Noone bothered to give me a call.
So im not taking my car to any dealerships anymore. golfwagen is the best place i found so far and i'll be taking it there from now on

Was given TDi Passat also as loaner for the day. Not happy that stuff disappeared from car during service. Will not be going back there.

Did you report this to the service manager? What was their response?
