Dealer Servicing = Disappointing

[joel0407]

There's a joint out in Belco. I think it's Canberr VW Centre. It's on the short one way street off Nettlefold St Belco. I have spoken to them and they seem really good.

I'm waiting delivery of a Yeti which should be here next Jan/Feb. I bought it from Nowra because I was not happy with the knowledge of the sales guys here in Canberra so I doubt there service staff would be much better.

Happy Days.

Definitely give the guys at Canberra VW Centre in Belconnen a call. I know I've seen Skodas there in the past - they are VAG specialists so they'll have no problems with your car I'm sure.

They're also top blokes to boot.

I second Canberra VW Centre. Their service is second to none. They do every VAG car. You'll find it's cheaper than a stealership too. There is the main one at Belconnen or if your south side there is one at tuggrenong too. I highly recommend them

Thanks guys. A few questions regarding VW centre.

Do they do warranty work as well?

My car is under Smartleasing, do they accept fleet car?

cheers

They are an independent service centre, so warranty repairs would still have to go to your dealer.

I don't know how your leasing plan works - does the lease company pay for servicing under the agreement? If so I can't see why they wouldn't accept an independent service centre unless there's something specific in your lease contract that requires dealer service centres.

You'd have to check with your leasing company to see if they are happy if you go to an independent. I can't see any problems though

I'm also with Smartleasing but haven't yet done my 15k service - due early next year. From memory, Smartleasing allows you to decide who you want to service your car. They just have to call Smartleasing first for approval to proceed. It was one of the things I was interested in as I wanted the flexibility to choose where I service my car.

as others have mentioned vw canberra centre in belconnen or tuggernong.
they r a busy mob - so u'll have to book well in advance!!

lennock skoda does not do the servicing - its lennock vw that does the servicing, hence why we take it to the vw service centre.

i don't know if they've actually rotated my tyres during servicing. haven't checked/noticed.
maybe i should from now on.

I don't mind if lennock VW does the service as long as they do the job properly. Even for Lennock, I booked my service 3 weeks in advance...

Doesn't your lease company pay for the service? My lease company specifies the vehicle must be serviced at a network dealer. I get to chose the dealer though.

If your lease deal is the same as mine, then the lease company would take an interest in being billed for work not done.
