Servicing & Warranty (life after Bayford Skoda)

[Graybags]

Also rang Lance Dixon and was told they hadn't done a 30k service before and would need the vin number as above. Doesn't give me alot of confidence going there to be the first.
When I rang Essendon I asked for a quote for a Octavia Vrs and the guy didn't know what I was talking about, oops my bad, meant to say rs. Surely he could use his brain and know what I was talking about. Surely He should know its Vrs in other countrys?
Anyway Quote was $515 inc gst + $130 for brake fluid. and $25 for loan car
Epping didn't have the paperwork in front of him and would get back within 1/2 hour, been over 2 now and no call.
Richmond was professional $560 +150 for brake fluid and free loan car (well was last service)
Still want to try VolksTech - Home but they are closed until Monday

Had the 30k service today at Volkstech and I am very happy with the service. Was a lot cheaper at $395 than what was quoted at dealers and it included brake fluid and pollen filter change. Car was washed and vacumed ,workshop was clean, waiting room clean with A/C. Will definitely be recommending them and will book the golf in next month.

Just got back from holidays and wow, looks like I missed a lot!
I'm glad I didn't go ahead with Lance Dixon before I left, I think $500+ is a bit steep for a 30K service (and perhaps no wash!).
I may have to ring around the dealer network tomorrow as I need to get some warranty work done also.
Or, I could service at VolksTech and get the warranty work done elsewhere.... might be the cheaper option.
