[ron]

Hi guys,
Wifes' car is up for the 2nd service, its the 15,000k interval one. although we only done 9000k
What should we expect to pay? and whats being done in this service apart from the usual oil & filter?

thanx heaps guys.

15,000km is the FIRST log book service. Anywhere between $300 and $480 depending on the dealership you go to.

thanx rocket. do you know what engine oil is best for top up? what API rating pls?

yes it is the 1st real service. the 7500 one they just looked at it.

I was quoted over the phone for $480-550?! mmmm may have to ring around.

I paid $273.25 in March for the 15K service on an R36. Wodonga Prestige.

Just did the 15K / 1 year service today on my R36 and was charged $398.85. Labour was $250 plus oil/filter and gst!!

[Rocket36]

there's a whole lot more involved than just labour, oil/filter/sump plug and gst. when i get a chance, i'll scan my 15,000km checklist. I think I was charged $330 or so at Burwin out in Ferntree Gully (Melbourne).

hi rocket, that would be great if you can post the scan.
dont mind paying $480 to VW, but when i rang to confirm my wifes booking, they were supposed to have a courtesy car for her, and you know what? not avail.

i asked why other dealers can do it as low as 350ish they said parts have gone up, bluntly? thanx a lot!

I paid around $250 for 15k service on R36 in Bris then got a letter from VW with free servicing to 45k (which I had no idea about when purchasing and wasn't mentioned at point of sale) so refunded and now don't pay a cent until 60k service.

Who did your 15k service for $250?

The cheapest I could find was $330 and that was at Springwood. Ipswich and Albion were both dearer.

Anyone got any prices on the actual 2nd service (30,000kms).
Got to book mine in soon.

Cheers,

Jayse.

Cheap service in Bris

GHW, where in Bris did you get the service for $250?

And when did you buy the car, to get the 'free servicing' letter? I bought mine about 4 months ago from Highway Auto, no letter for me yet..!

[GHW]

Sorry, my bad, it was $289.65 at Springwood (where i bought the car) I just checked.

The letter came from VW head office, something to do with purchasing the vehicle during a promotion???
this was a while back, I bought my car in May 2009 so you wouldn't expect the same a year later.

Second service just done (30k) no charge and the 45k will be the same.
