Service Cost

[Wazza 162]

Just had my 3 year service at the VW dealership and was a bit surprised at the cost of $684 but even more shocked at the cost of the following 4 year service being $1127.
Is there any where in Adelaide, preferably southern area that members can recommend that maybe a bit more reasonable?

DSG, Haldex etc, all filters, Brake fluid just for starters

While deciding on a Kodiaq or Tiguan i found that the fixed price servicing costs were very different between the 2... I found it odd considering both would require the same things at the same intervals

Yep, sounds about right. It's just a badge tax, the service pricing between all the different brands (Skoda, Seat, VW, Audi) will be different even though the platform is the same across each brands equivalent models.

What makes it seem even harder to swallow is my tig is very low kms, will be lucky to have done 15,000kms by the time the 60,000 service will be due. Up to this point I have be servicing by due time even though my kms are way under but at that costing it's a little hard to accept.

Been doing that for 10 years with my cars Polo is 10 this month done 30,000km. Passat had only done 43,000km when I sold it in 2017
Had been dealer serviced all their lives

My Tig is 2 in April only done 7000km so far

I've just purchased myself a VW and reading this has made me consider buying a care plan.

Would anyone recommend against a care plan?

Any pros/cons?

Thanks

ThanksIf you are going to keep it for the 5 years you will save some money.

What did you buy I dont qualify because I provide my own oil and save that way and get a discount as I have had two cars for 10 years

Thanks hillbilly,

I bought a 2020 Tiguan r line, I've also been looking at potentially doing some mods such as mk7r exhaust and some springs but not sure if that would also void my warranty.

Springs might Mine hasnt fallen over on any corners yet and I have suspension set on comfort. Sport should tighten it up. I prefer not the hear exhaust note otherwise I would have bought a Ferrari

I need some time off work to actually have a full play around with the car.

Thanks for the advice
