Given some of the underwhelming experiences people on here seem to have had with OP, it might be worthwhile trying Wangara and then letting us know how you go! Wangara isn't particularly close to you though...

What about Quattro Motors or Golfwagen? (or even John Hughes dare I say it...)

Yes, I know Golfwagen is in Wangara as well, before any one pipes up

[Kiel_GTI]

i completely forgot about quattro was reminded by matty, will probably try them out. but isnt the option of extended warranty void if you dont use a VW service centre?

[polo_spec_d]

No its not, quattros are all in good in that part, Ive asked the question with them

[geoff_gti]

If you have a Manufacturer's Extended Warranty then no, so long as your service agent completes the tasks according to the manual, you won't have issues.

If you have a Dealer's Extended Warranty you may be required to return to the dealer for servicing otherwise they could void it for you. These are usually a package type deal the dealer has with some 3rd party warranty/insurance company so they just pass on the costs.

(I'd say though you have the first, but check it just in case.)

thanks for the advice/help guys much appreciated.

looking forward to getting down to the next meet up aswell.

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

[tinto]

Sorry, was being lazy at the time.

RTFM = read the ****ing manual
CBF = can't be ****ed

replace **** with a word rhyming with duck... you know the one
