    What do you pay for servicing?

    Just had 30k km service done on 2015 Polo GTI at an independent mechanic. Cost $389.

    What do you pay?

    ....and if you can afford to smoke a packet a day, then $381 is nothing for you. Since the service is once a year.

    Haven't serviced yet, but if I choose the 30k service for my current car on the Ford capped price dealer service, it shows $360.
    Now that we have capped price servicing is there any reason NOT to go to the dealer? Genuinely wondering.

    Without trying to be rude - this thread for "general " servicing costs is really useless, as all cars are going to cost a different amount based on model/engine/fwd or AWD/etc etc.

    There will also be different costs between DSG and manual models.

    Comparing the service cost of a Golf R major service to a Polo TSI major service or a Touraeg major service is going to be vastly different.

    I had the 30,000 km /2 years service today. All up with brake flush and cabin filter was $598. ,
    But it didn't cost me a cent. VW Australia. Paid for it. They used my car as a test on the VW service centre. And they didn't. Come out too good in the service department.
    He installed a blown bulb in the number plate. Let the air out of one tyre and unclipped a Hose in the engine bay and they didn't tick what work was carried out.
