service the honda

[furiouswilly]

anyone know where is Dr. Honda in croydon? any contact? Or any recomment place to service my Euro

[mikey72]

Um, a Honda dealership? Also get your power steering hose free upgrade.

[furiouswilly]

quite dear service there

[mikey72]

Yes, it can be. But when it comes down to resale and other things, logbook servicing from a Honda garage can make a lot of difference to a buyer.

I doubt logbook servicing from a honda garage is gonna make a lot of difference. People wont even care where its serviced aslong as its been routinely serviced. Re-sale value is just gonna depend on current market trend and as long as your car looks clean and presentable it will sell. Like other things its a matter of waiting and finding a serious buyer whos not going to low-ball u and burn rubber.

What are the most common questions that a potential buyer asked?

1. Has it got roadworthy?
2. Has it got log books?
3. Was it serviced at the dealers?

Where people get there car serviced is very important to buyers, well it should be.

The added cost of taking it their outside of warranty wont be returned upon sale of your vehicle. Its money down the drain. Just look at the service interval and get a trusted mechanic to do the same and save a few hundred. In the end your paying honda double to just undo a bolt and pour new oil/fluid in and re-tighten.

il service it

[dlai5552]

Hanny's Performance is always good!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned them (at least, I don't think)
They have good prices too!
Dedy at Top One can be a rip off at times I heard.

[EG52NV]

GPC at Yennora are also good

[Setanta]

Hannys is a good option. I've been taking my hondas there for over 20 years now. Just take all mods off first

That's incorrect. Full Honda service history is very important. It doesn't matter how 'clean and respectable' your car looks, if you're the type of moron who's taken your car to Ultratune every couple of years, there's no way I'm buying your car off you.

No you dont.
Not when compared to car dealers.

ANY money you lose in 2nd hand market selling the car because it didnt have a dealer service History you make back on the money you saved on cost of servicing anyway.
- If you wanna get in more details, the money you saved on service over the years, take in account inflation, interest rates, buying pwoer changes etc etc... means you will be quite a bit more ahead.

Typical 2nd hand car buyer who dont know much about cars might do that....
Just because it's serviced by the dealer doesn't mean it's better. It's up to the owner to take quality control on parts used, for example oil, air filter etc.

I'd rather have a car thats serviced by people like HondaCare at Brisbane (SumnerPark) or TopOne at Sydney (Hornsby) than these dealers who use non-honda-geniune oil and crap.

Most of us trade the car in at end of their lives anyway, all dealers want is a full service history.

OP: do a search in the Euro sub-forum...

very extensive discussion there.

Just so you know, my post had nothing to with a dealer vs somewhere else argument. It was a simple reply to 'how much will it cost?" Thus implying that if you wanna get a cheap service, you'll get cheap work ;)

Just thought I'd let you know so you don't waste another long winded reply to an irrelevant statement
