Octavia servicing!

[woofy]

You should see Richmond SKoda/Audi here, they made a big Audi showroom, but the garage is tiny. The back part of Skoda was also supposed to be a workshop but for the most part they store stuff in there. I do have a vague recollection recently of seeing a car on a hoist there now though.

It's always been the way with dealerships. Sales first, Service second.

my mate used to describe that little area as "man heaven". The old Banksia Pub (not the newer, flasher Roksia across the road, the tyre shop (now gone), the kebab shop, the motorbike shop & the brothel.

Would you believe that when they opened the kebab shop, the brothel complained that it was attracting undesirables!!

I remember the old pub fondly. The new one doesn't have a true pub atmosphere, but then I've yet to see a "tavern" that does. The food's good though.

And I fully agree with the brothel's argument that kebab shop attracts undesirables. Obnoxious inebriates tend to descend on kebab shops near pubs at closing time like like flies on a dog turd. I imagine that having prospective punters of the brothel having to run the gauntlet of drunks waiting for their orders wouldn't be great for business.

Drunks, brothels, crap take-away food. Nothing much ever changes in Sydney, eh?

FYI - Just had the RS's 30k service done @ Werribee VW $480 including brake fluid, free loan car.

Just had the 75k service done at Allan Mackay's in Moss Vale, $343.50 and $10 in fuel for the S40 2.0T loan car.

[Scarfies]

Dealer quote for 60k is 1200, independent (Canberra VW Centre) is $480. Guess who I'm going to go to.

When you guys are throwing quotes around, it's probably not a bad idea to mention what was done.

There's a big difference in price between a 60K on a TSI DSG and a 60K on a TDI manual.

Allan Mackay is killing MVMG for pricing. I'm surprised I don't see more VWs in their parking lot!

And their customer service is the best I've ever experienced.

As for configurations, I think I can see why the TDI costs just that little bit more initially

+1
the 60k includes a DSG service, hence the hefty price tag.
i'm 10,000kms shy of that mark - i'll start crying then!!
