New Polo Servicing Cost

[dave_r]

15k scheduled, 7500 optional from memory. We'll be doing the 7500's as the missus did 190k in her last new car and likes to look after them. Means I can waste more money on depreciation myself lol.

I got freebies and a lot of other things under a written contract between me and the dealer...believe me when paying for the vehicle...negotiation on servicing/car services can be made

go on mate! what kind of deal did you get?

it's just good to know... part of the reason i dont go to my (awesome) dealer is because my mech can undercut their cost by like 30%

I have requested for a capped costing scheme for servicing for the life of the Warranty, courtesy car regardless of timing of request so for example if i wake up and drive my car notice a rattle or a problem, they will organise a car on the spot for me at the time of request.

The use of only Penzoil Platinum Synthetic oils as i have had nothing but a great experience using it on previous vehicles (no extra cost).

and just a few goodies, Polo T-shirt, spare polo keyring, polo Cap, VW Umbrella and a toy model of the Golf R (i collect model cars oh yeah!)

I think i might have to get that dealers name Hail. If guys in melbourne cant get me that think have to jump on a tiger plane, get the car and drive back.

Should give me a good post for the milage thread lol

Euro car are just hardcore on service costs and a few dealers down here atleast give you extra 12 month warrenty unlimited ks. Audi as part of the A1 launch gives you FREE included servicing for life of warrenty. Might be a good bargin choip for those yet to get there VW's as the group likes thecar marques to compete between themseleves
the free road side assist is a nice touch

Old thread but didn't see the point in creating a new one. The 77TSI is up for its 15k service so did a quick ring around and tried sussing out any extra "addons" they love to charge for

Essendon $356 (But are the most useless ****ing idiots of any dealer I've ever dealt with and that includes multiple Ford ones!)
South Yarra $395 (plus $55 if tyres need balance/rotation)
Burwin $355 (no cost if tyres need balance/rotation)
Glen Waverley $410 (didn't say)
Berwick $395

Has to have the engine bay rattle fixed along with a new drivers mirror assembly/cover fitted because someone smashed it... inconsiderate pricks

Car has only done 6k worth of kilometres, so will go for the first year xD lol $345 Chatswood capped service for me due to contract agreement.

Also stay tuned have bought ABT Rear Diffuser with twin mufflers, currently on the way and getting Stage 1 ABT chipset (once they fix the bugs from what Thomas told me it's quite...unpleasant at the moment)

But if you want aftermarket kits, chips, or wheels talk to Thomas Ullman at Ramspeed he also does VAG servicing

[mowens]

fyi

i got my 15k done at vw Werribee $356 - including rotating wheels/balancing.

They also gave me a tfsi Jetta to burn around in for the day while it was getting done

Just remember that the DSG box is vverry expensive to service with a few years under it. With a Golf you can at least have the choice

There is a web site that psost recommended service costs for all cars, it is in one of the Polo 9N threads but I haven't been able to find it. Might be worth a search if you really want to know.
