Yeti First Service

[Umai Naa!!]

$250 is pretty much in the ballpark for us independants.

Mine was $330 excluding oil - I supplied the oil. Last Polo service, the oil charge was $90+GST and the 15k service was >$400 a few years ago. I presume the dealers are charging a standard rate from VWA?

Also got the V6 satnav maps. Why doesn't someone tell us when updates are available? You'd think they might like to sell a few...

15K service booked in for next week @ VolksTech. Very friendly when booking in over the phone, quoted $275 - much less then from where I bought it.

It seems so bizarre to me, servicing a car once a year. But I'm guessing it's pretty common these days for 15K service intervals? I think my last 2 cars have been 10K (Nissan) & 12.5K (Subie), so I've been working my way towards 15K

Still love driving the Yeti. Still get looks everywhere I go (If I could read faces, I predict said looks fall into 2 categories: "Fck that's an ugly piece of crap" and "They sure are an interesting looking car"). Regardless, it's nice to not blend in with pretty much every other compact SUV on the market. They all look as alike to me as Commodores and Falcons do to my wife.

Hope Skoda don't get in with VWA's fixed price servicing. $370 for 15k service for Tiguan.

One major factor in my deciding to go with a new 77tsi over a Tiguan or Dualis (price ended up being the other factor, $20,990 drive away) Personally I think it's the best looking compact SUV in Australia. Nothing compares with the back end.
