    First Service!

    Hey all!

    My first service is due at 15,000KM and at the rate I'm driving I'm planning to schedule for next month. I had oil topped up at round 7500KM. Car is still bone stock.

    The capped price at dealer is $350.

    1) Is 15000KM interval sufficient or too much? In forums some say yes and some say no :|
    2) Reading in forums that dealers just use apprentice mechanics and they might do a botched job.. any truth to that?
    3) Any recommended shops for servicing in VIC South East? Any affect on warranty or resale?

    Thanks in advance!

    Just about all workshops use apprentices on such a simple service.

    15,000km interval is fine. The oil that is specified for them is good for 30,000kms, but I wouldn't recommend testing that out.

    It's a good price, for a dealership.
