    Recommended 6 month service

    Got an email from my dealer recently about performing a 6m service.

    "[Dealer Name] Volkswagen recommends that you carry out a 6 monthly supplementary service on your Volkswagen TIGUAN.

    This is not a substitute but compliments your annual scheduled services. If your vehicle does not have a current Roadside Assistance policy, please ask one of our service advisors for details about our Free Roadside assistance program."

    They want $195 to "change the fluids and apply any software updates".

    Anyone done or planning to have a 6 monthly service?

    Unlikely I will be putting my car in.

    Money grab unless your vehicle is used under any of the "severe service" conditions listed in your handbook.

    Name the dealer. It’s just a sales pitch. Not a criminal offence.

    Recommended 6 month service

    Yep they are the worst dealership in Perth.

    I went there just on the day adventure was announced that the sales guy didn’t even care what I was after.

    Good customer services comes when staff working genuinely care about customer or product they sell. the impression I always get at Ossy park dealership is that they don’t care and are only willing to speak to me if in any way shape or form I can help them achieve their targets..
