car service for fd1

[geboy]

Hi, just wondering how much ppl have been paying for their regular service at their Honda Dealers.

[JOhnnyFD]

1st month 1st service is free of charge.. just do checks, inspections, roadtest, carwash

6 month 2nd service was 250.. replaced engine oil, fluid, did checks, inspections, roadtest, carwash, honda service and environmental levy?? also include GST

12 month 3rd service was the same price.. did the same thing + wheel alignment balanced

to be honest, i could have did this myself or get it serviced at another place cheaper.. just that i prefer to have the logbook service done genuine... took about on average 3-4hours instead of 45minutes.. waste of time and money... but best to be safe and service it a year or 2

may keep servicing my car at the honda dealer til end of this year

[danjoy25]

Had my 10K service 2 weeks ago and I paid $230.00

[rk 86 wa]

around 250 for minor and around 450 for major, after 50,000km I am now doing it with the help of a friend at home.

[buzz]

[warwick108]

[ryanc]

i got quoted 510 for 20k service ??? wtf
in the end got given 'intermediate' service for 310

didnt know i can bargain ><

[warwick108]

510?.. u better not be talking about aus dollars. lol

[rk 86 wa]

Lol thats insane.

Also if you look in your sevice manual, every 40k is a major so expect to pay big for those.

[geboy]

u can bargain with the dealers? or did u get it done at a random mechanic?

[amurray]

i have my 40k service coming up on friday... i was told 230... but thats through my mechanic i use all the time... dealer aproved

Hondacare in summner park if anyone wanted to know.

[SaBReT00tH]

anyone know what happens during the 20,000km service and what they check? I have a K&N Typhoon Short RAM Intake air filter installed and I'm wondering if they'll have to remove that to check the Automatic transmission fluid dipstick?

[bodaas]

check your service log book.. its got the list what they check on 1k service, 10k service, and so on

[BC8]

hey guys

got a quote to do a 20K service for $250

Reasonable?

[ryanc]

i went elsewhere (see my orig post) and got it done for $190 for my 20k

[amurray]

i got my 40k for $234

[warwick108]

i bargained with a dealer.. yarra honda in abbotsford.. 189 for 20k service..^^

[ej20i]

u can bargain service??!?!?!?!?

[dmx]

i got my 40k for $234

Include tappet adjustment ?

as far for mine, ALL serviced : $170-$180 (incl. oil filter everytime)
except 40k about $400 incl.tappet adjustment (honda dealer)

[SaBReT00tH]

check your service log book.. its got the list what they check on 1k service, 10k service, and so on

I'm pretty sure it said in the logbook they check it. Would they just remove it and check it? and put it back?

Or would they also put a big cross through my 5 year warranty as it'd be counted as an engine mod?

[seiyaz]

Hey guys,

Do you normally wait for the kms servicing or the months interval that they normally say 'like jan 2009 or 20k whichever comes first'

[markCivicVti]

Whichever comes first means whichever is first lol

So I just had my 20,000km service, BUT the car had only done 16,000kms.

[Tanked]

My 40K just went passed...think i paid about $490

Having just read through the post regarding warranties and claiming damage repair from honda i think i'll be getting myn serviced at honda, just in case somethihg goes wrong :$

[seiyaz]

I see...I asked because I normally follow the kms servicing and ignore the month..

[civic_07]

just done my 10K service today at Hannys, my first time there.

Overall, pretty good imo. Robert is friendly and no bs. One thing kind of made me wondering is how fast it was :). I know its only 10K service and i asked him to change the oil filer as well. There was only 1 other Honda there this morning, I went out to make some calls and back in about 10 mins later and the car was done!

I was like 'did they put any engine oil in..." although i did see the old oil been flushed out and the new oil filter went it, lol :D

[JOhnnyFD]

man.. now tats quick.. my service 10k.. bring in car 9am.. pickup at 1pm.. far out

[BC8]

yeah we all can vouch for hanny's service

did a service this morning (engine oil and oilfilter) on my fd1 and came back in an 1 hrs time complete.

I use to take my DC2 for repairs/servicing and now i'll start with my FD1 :)

[.k.]

10k service cost me 178

[ks_b]

how much ppl in melb paying for their service??

[kupang]

anyone changed they brake pad yet? how much will it cost inc labour?

[phwoaaa]

those minor services only takes 20-30mins if ur relitively quick :P

a pair of brake pad change are about 80-150$ depending where .

[.k.]

my cars done just over 10k k's and brakes are squeaky?! told honda and they're waiting to hear back from honda australia to see if they'll pay if not my sevice centre gonna replace for free (not sure which parts exactly yet waiting call back)

[cyberhk]

Guys if we done honda logbook service in place like Midas or Autobahn will it void the Honda warranties? Anybody knows? Thanks....

[laju]

Autobahn told me it won't void your warranties if you do logbook service with them.
On another note, I asked Honda Melville in Perth how much a 40k service was....they wanted $600! (Autobahn=$400)

[SaBReT00tH]

Finally did my 20k with the SRI and was all good. Logbook was ticked and all appears in order. Yey!

[.k.]

do u get ur car serviced at honda? did they say anythin about the SRI?

[markCivicVti]

Honda didn't say anything when they saw my sri. I bet they will when i mention anything to do with warranty tho.

[fitme]

will be havin a 10k service this saturday

quoted from the dealer
Rd= 290
Art = 190
Horns = 210

will go to artarmon..

[FDPete]

Did my 30k service (FD2) a couple of weeks ago..$190 at Astoria Honda, however i supplied the Oil (Castrol Edge bought when it was on special)

They changed the oil filter as well (not specified in service book)...took just under an hour..

I mentioned that it was sometimes running a little rough at idle and theu cleared all fault codes running perfectly now

Great service, even washed it!

[Muzzy]

So here's my experience with my local dealer today...

I had previously had my car serviced at this dealer for the second 10k 6mths service. However, I was at work and had to send dad to drop off the car and pay.
I'll summarise the costings.

10k (6mths) service:
Labour - $114
Consumables (Repsol Multivalvulas oil) - $99.89
Oil Filter Cart - $16.65
Washer Drain - $1.56
Env levy - $4.75
Workshop supplies - $6.25

Total: $243.10 + $24.31(GST) = $267.41

20k (12mths) service:
Labour - $135.92
Oil Filter Cart - $19.77
Washer Drain - $3.49
Env levy - $6.25
Workshop supplies - $14.95

Total: $180.38 + $18.04(GST) = $198.42

As you can see, on the second service the oil is missing since I purchased my own oil for $50 from repco. Looking at the 10k service, they've charged me $100 for the oil! This is why I decided to take my own oil and see what happens.

Of course this time around I asked for the sum of the service before it was done. Well, the guy tells me that the total would come to around $243....:eek: WTF? That's not much different to my first service is my initial thought...

Before even questioning it, the guys starts telling me that the cost of labour has actually gone up...while he's doing this, the chick next to him jumps in and says something along the lines of "the normal oil is around $50 and the full synth is $100 so it comes to about the same thing when you bring your own oil...etc". I say NO!, I'm actually providing my OWN oil so that whipes the $100 oil price right off the list which should result in my final amount being $100 less. Luckily she doesn't say anything further.

Meanwhile, the guy is still looking at his screen and now decides to pluck out the following story, "on your previous service (10k) it seems that the discounted hourly rate was charged..." WTF2!!? I was like huh? What discounted rate?? Why wasn't this stated on the estimate and why weren't we told?? Of course they can't answer... He continues to say that the hourly labour rate is $115 whereas we were charged $95 per hr....

Anyway in the end he decides that he can do the discounted hourly rate for me again (somehow for some odd reason), so my total ended up being $198 inc GST. Add to that the $50 I spent on the oil it totals $248. Only a $20 saving for taking in my own oil...

As you can see, they've actualy bumped up the labour and parts and other prices in place of the missing fuel....

Is this legit? Do I have a case to complain here that Honda are charging different prices for the same parts? Its only been 6 months apart and the cost of a washer drain has doubled?? I did not like the way they handled my situation and queries at all. You can tell how shifty dealers are, just by my case...They over inflate prices for no good reason just to cash in your hard earned money...:mad:

Thoughts?

[tinymoon]

That's what the most car service center will do, not only Honda.
I called UtltraTune to book in for service and change oil for my Honda Civic (5000km because i do alot of city driving with too many start-stop and short distance). They quoted 150 with oil change, i said i would supply the oil, after working for like 10mins all the phone, they said they will charge me 145 without oil come with a lot of blah blah :)). I guessed that they will earn commission with oil companies so oil change does not make much sense to them. WTF.
