  • Whos who in the zoo

    I have recently bought my first VW - 2008 Jetta TDI. I bought it after living in the UK for 10 years and realising the difference in quality of a european car to the usual home grown stuff. Anyways I am impressed as it is as I expected, a solid, well made car with excellent economy. So recently I have been trying to find a good servicing agent other than the big dealers and have tried a recommended mechanic here in Sydney and this is what the 45,000km servide cost me;
    45,000 service - 2 hrs labour - $345 + gst
    change brake fluid - 40mins - $38 + gst
    Parts;
    VW Oil Filter - $14+gst
    Havoline Synthetic Oil - $58+
    Sump plug washer - $4.17+
    Oil waste removal - $8.11+
    Throttle body cleaner - $12+
    Washer fluid - $4.50+
    Diesel fuel filter - $47.70+
    Pollen Airfilter - $37.90+
    Element air filter - $48.90+
    Brake cleaner - $18.11+
    Brake fluid x 3 - $59.50+
    Battery (000915105DG) - $231+
    So all up it came to $1020.70 inc gst
    It was a bit more than I was expecting but if these parts needed replacing then thats the way it is. He did show me the old pollen filter and it was very dirty so I feel he was kosher.
    This mechanic is Jade Autos in Rosebery, Sydney. If you find this helpful then good or if you know a better place to go please let me know.
