New Polo Servicing Cost

[Jake02]

Hi all,

A friend is looking at getting a new Polo 77TSI and would like to know how much servicing costs are.

Thanks in advance.

I think this question is too early for us...

Most of our cars are under 5000 km, (unless you are a "taxi driver") and I got a sticker that says first service @ 7,500km

[Allegiance]

My first service is 15,000kms or 1 year.

you'd think it might be like the last turbo ones...

~$330 at the dealer, ~$280 at a VAG specialist.

My first service is 15,000kms or 1 year.

Is it what the dealer sticker says?

or is it what the user manual says? because I haven't had a closer look of the manual yet.

[Allegiance]

I think it was the user manual, I read it when I got the car and haven't checked since

[armthehomeless]

My dealer sticker says 15,000km, but they offer a free 'pit stop' service every 7,500km where they top up the fluids for free

[Hail22]

Yeah i got that as well on my MY11, pretty sweet setup the free fluid top ups

[Allegiance]

I didn't get that

[BR @ ON]

Perhaps mine sticker (of 7500km) was meant for that as well, except I didn't go to pick it up myself. So missing out on heaps info

Had to work...

15k scheduled, 7500 optional from memory. We'll be doing the 7500's as the missus did 190k in her last new car and likes to look after them. Means I can waste more money on depreciation myself lol.

I got freebies and a lot of other things under a written contract between me and the dealer...believe me when paying for the vehicle...negotiation on servicing/car services can be made

go on mate! what kind of deal did you get?

it's just good to know... part of the reason i dont go to my (awesome) dealer is because my mech can undercut their cost by like 30%

I have requested for a capped costing scheme for servicing for the life of the Warranty, courtesy car regardless of timing of request so for example if i wake up and drive my car notice a rattle or a problem, they will organise a car on the spot for me at the time of request.

The use of only Penzoil Platinum Synthetic oils as i have had nothing but a great experience using it on previous vehicles (no extra cost).

and just a few goodies, Polo T-shirt, spare polo keyring, polo Cap, VW Umbrella and a toy model of the Golf R (i collect model cars oh yeah!)

[Jake02]

Yeah true I guess, thanks to al for the reply .
