    The prices might actually be right.... If you have the DSG models. Skoda in launceston stated its between 600-700 just to change the transmission oil. Luckily I have a manual!!

    When I bought the car in Moss Vale on the 22nd, we were quoted $600 for the 'major' services (30,000, 60,000, etc) and around $350 or something for the 'intermittent' (15,000, 45,000, etc)
    Don't know if that helps.

    If you do end up going there, let me know... I can't afford to drive anywhere else, even with the diesel RS's 4L/100km. :p

    Majors are around $600, but the 60k is a special one. I've been quoted $800 for years at Richmond so the $900 is new, I asked a month back and it was still $800 but thats with a manual RS petrol. The big killer is the 4yr service for my TFSI which is $1200 on top of that $900 as I will be bang on 60k at the same time.......all because of the timing belt which went 4 mths later....

    Well I recently had the 30000 service which came to 350, so not bad if that's a major one

    Moss Vale quoted me $600 for the $60k which was $350 cheaper than Campbelltown - for exactly the same work package.

    30k is halfway between 15/45 & 60k

    I have been using Auto Union Deutch Independent in Oakleigh, melbourne for about 5 years, and they provide excellent service on AUDI, VW, and Skoda. I had a quote for a timing belt on a 1.8T from the dealer in excess of $1800, Auto Union was about $1100? for belt change and full service.

    No I dont work for them, I have just had really good service for my car from them. My next car will be a vRS tdi, and will go to them as well.

    Quoted a total of $1130 for a 60k service on a VRS TDI with DSG - Filter changes include engine oil, DSG oil, fuel & pollen filters, Oils include engine, DSG ($256 for 6litres), and brake fluid. Coolant change, the usual service checks and 4 wheel alignment as well ( getting new tyres fitted the same day ). I think it's 440 in labour costs, need to double check the quote.

    Mine is due in about 2 months but it's a manual so it will be interesting to see what the bill comes to.
    BTW: I would be reluctant to use any car dealership to do wheel alignments, they aren't wheel specialists. You will quite possibly find that all they do is subbie it out to their friendly tyre place and charge you a margin for the privilege.
