    Roc scheduled servicing - VIC

    Hi all

    My roc is approaching 15k and due for a first service. I didn't buy my car from Victoria so I have no loyalty to any dealers here - but I genuinely would like some feedback on where to take the car for service? I have no mods and just want log book treatment that hopefully won't cost an arm or a leg for a bit of oil and a pampering.

    I'm assuming because of the engine being the same as the golf R there is no 'specialisation' required for working on a Roc?

    Any suggestions or experiences? pref is close to Melb city CBD.

    Did you go to a computer store yesterday and get thumbs up from some random people across the road?

      Find a reputable independent mechanic, rather than stealership servicing. One of the vic crew should be able to point in you in the right direction

        Met the guys several items, and I know several people that have theirs serviced there. Very knowledgeable, on all things VW.

              Not exactly Melbourne CBD, but at Dandenong you will find RTR who do all servicing and modifications on European cars, including quite a few GTi's and R's from this forum and VWGolf.net.au

                  Just got mine serviced at Volkspower. Much cheaper than any dealership here in Melbourne!

                        Just realised my first scheduled service is set for 7,500k's, but we have a few members here set at 15k?

                            Mine was set to 15k as well.

                            Had mine serviced before the 15k mark came around at the local VW dealership for $350 all up.....appears to be a decent price?

                              Mine is also set for 7500 - which i'll tick over this week

                              Why the difference? Need I do it? Or can I wait til 15k? If I do - will it affect warranty?
