$530 for 30k service? (Melbourne)

[DaveMack]

that's a pity, cos i don't feel like giving up an arm and a leg for servicing...

... so nobody has any recommendations for brisbane servicing?

Watching this thread with baited breath.

Fair enough Re: Euro mechanics - Anyone know of any euro mechanics in brisbane??? (I don't think guy does general servicing???)

Spec83 Just got my car done through I think its Euro Prestige perforamance (ask guy for the exact name) Michael is former Mechanic at Motorline VW now working for himself service was only 180 after the card discount u can get off guy 220 normally and he was great to deal with.

Hiya!

If you're willing to travel, Wipples Motors (they service VW, Mazda and something else I can't remember) in Toowoomba has an impeccable reputation. Even when I wasn't buying a VW, their name kept coming up even from other second-hand car dealers.


Now that I have bought a VW Golf, they were the only place that had firm prices for services and could tell me EXACTLY what would be done. They even look over your car for free. (No matter who you buy it from and not for a service or anything)

I actually thought it would be cheaper to go down the coast a bit and get it down closer to Brisbane but after a few phone calls of, 'Oh ummm.... yeah ahhh that'll be you know, around $200-ish and yeah, that doesn't include labour <scratch scratch> so uhhh yeah...'

And no real answers on well, ANYTHING really and HUGE variations on what service should be done when, I realised that I was wasting my money phoning around.

I think they are reasonable priced, no dearer than the other places I called (when I could get a firm price out of them, like pulling freaking teeth!)

Their deatails are;

Wipples Motors
169 - 181 Herries Street
Toowoomba Qld 4350

Ph: (07) 4631 9999

Hope that helps!

Any recommendations for the Gold Coast?

Just got quoted $650 for 30k service by VW Southport - they can roll that up and stick it...

Geezus the reason i dont use a dealer I cant say bout anyone on the GC but i am using Prestige Performace at Cooparoo in Brisbane and only was $220 for the service. So for that price the 40 minute drive may well be worth it to you
