    Decent Melbourne Dealers for Servicing (CBD)

    OK guys and girls... Looks like the timing of my 15,000km service for the .:R36 will be just after I move to Melbourne next Monday. The drive down will see me hit about 14,500km.

    Good thing is I'll be living in the CBD and won't really be using the car very much at all. But I still want to get the 15,000km service done as close to 15,000km as possible.

    So any local Melbournians have any recommendations as to where I should take my car?

    I will be visiting Evolve Technik for some work in the next few months but want to get this 15,000km service sorted first.

    Cheers!

    If youre after a dealer I think South yarra VW have a service centre in abbotsford which might be the most convenient to get to?
    15k service is just an oil change and a bit of an inspection isnt it?

    Yep, I go to Sth Yarra VW..was happy with my 15,000km service. Like Tim stated, they have 2 service centres which should be close for you.

    I used to use South Yarra ,but now use Camberwell,and much happier with my dealings with them.
    Talk to Paul,he is a top guy,and will provide a free loan car...probably a Jetta.

    I've done exactly the same. Had nothing but nightmares with Sth Yarra and have now bought two cars and several services at Camberwell and have nothing but praise for them.

    P.S if my car wasn't on a lease though I be using an independant euro mechanic.

    Funny, i found the opposite, Camberwell is closer to me and i tried to buy a car from them 2 years ago and that turned into a fiasco. SY picked up the pieces and i had my car within a week from them and cant fault any of the service there, from either sales or service dept.

    If I can get good service, I really don't mind. Much of a muchness. It will be the last dealer service I get. Once I've been to Evolve Technik, it would be a risk taking it back to a dealer.
