15,000km Service Cost from Each Dealer Outlined

[trueman]

Maybe you could remind the dealer of this (that you purchased the car through them) when you book it in..... hinting for a discount.... They can only say No - it might be worth a try!

Off topic.... can we see a pic of lance?

You both could of saved over $100 by going to Camden GTI, it only takes 1 hr .

Anyone want to share where the best and cheapest place in Sydney for an R is..?

ouch..

well my first two services are included (with denlo) so for my 30k il shop around then i guess...

camden GTI sounds like it might be good? I am assuming they use all VW parts/do software upgrades etc?

[Fab_R]

Can't wait to see what the R costs for it's 15k service 

[dave_r]

I'm happy to wait a long time for whichever service has the DSG/Haldex in it as well. Won't be able to sit for a week if a dealer does it lol

[Corey_R]

60,000km / 4 year service has the DSG oil change...

[dave_r]

In that case, good chance it will be the next blokes problem hehe

[Fab_R]

$1300 was the DSG service in the GTI.

$1300 was the DSG service in the GTI.

That was expensive,looks like ive just saved a heap of money, They just replaced my DSG Gearbox at 42,000km so in reality it wont need doing till 100,000km or will they try to service it just the same

Don't understand why you would go to a dealer when a local vw/audi specialist can provide the same work and you don't have an apprentice working on your car.

My R36 15,000k service was $360 at Klosters VW.

Hey guys
Just thought I would share a recent experience at Austral Volkswagen in Newstead, Brisbane.
Long story short - for their $412 15,000km service turns out they never changed/filled/topped up the oil. found out when i got an oil level warning light a couple of weekends ago.

the single most important thing these guys do in a service, they didnt. When I raised the issue with them the service manager, GA told me that I wasnt a mechanic and that the GTi should burn 1.5L of oil in 6 months/3500kms with no hard driving. offered me a free oil change 'if that'll make me happy'.

contacted volkswagen australia, who told me that there was nothing they could do except log my complaint about the dealer in their system.

long story short - if you're not happy with your dealer service, volkswagen australia arent interested either. very glad i read this forum and found out about prestige and performance in coorparoo!
