I have done the 20,000Km/12 months service today, and it cost me $197 only, and free installation of the exhaust pipe finisher (one of the Jazz accessories)! May be different state have different price!

[kin]

David, which dealer did u get your car serviced?

[iwky_77]

:eek: :eek: :eek:
I quoted John Blair's Honda (Prahran) several months ago for 20000K service. They gave me $320... wtf?!?!
That's one reason why I had to cancel and source to another service station (UltraTune). It cost me almost half the price with my service book stamped.

I guess Honda doesn't have a standard price now....hmmm.... interesting....and suspicious....

I did my 10,000kms service last week for $150

[Andys]

Shouldn't the 30kkm service be around the same price as 10kkm? It was so long ago I can't remember... :)

I recently had my 80,000km service done at Collins (rockdale).. it was around the $400-500 range from memory. They are expensive, but do a really good job. (After years of messing around with dodgy mechanics I am happy just to pay the extra..)

Hehe.. not any more :D

Now I live in Miranda (near sutherland), and catch the train to work. So the Jazz is getting a lot more rest than it used to!

[rokkuchan]

[Sp00n]

man.. u guys are lucky
i got my 20000kms done for $339 + 99 for air con cleaning
but they do a good job and clean the car... so i aint complaining

[ahcash]

$55!? moxxer fuxxer! Easten Honda charge me for $80

I reckon overall, Brisbane, Adelaide is hell lot cheaper than Melbourne...

[MRFIT]

wow wow...... Eastern Honda always charge more than others...... and Garry and Warren smith charges alot too...... comparing to them, Courtney and Patterson is the cheapest so far.....

I know the John Blair Honda's new car price is very good, I guess that's probably why they charge extra for services...... dodgy....

[wyl03]

me still 3k kms for half a year old car hehe

is it a weekend car?

[jefflei]

Well, I drive on "not-so-busy" road about 200km a week... my fuel consumption is around 6.7~6.9 with most of the time (80%) the air-cond is OFF ....my car is a CVT-7 GD3.....I feel it lack of power while in AUTO mode.... I need to run in 7speed mode with the TEC almost go in..... :P

Where about do you work? Some offer valet service where they pick up your car for services and return to you when done... Not sure if there is a limit in distance.

[ahcash]

Just did my 1,000 km service today. Engine oil changed, oil filter changed, check this and that etc. $75. OK I guess.

[DavidLing]

actually, for an auto car, if u allways run on free way or highway, the fuel consumption is lower then only run within a city or town. Coz' an auto car takes many fuel when braking!

[DavidLing]

David, which dealer did u get your car serviced?

Southside Honda!
they ask me do i wanna do the wheel alignment, but they charge me $99, so i reject them, and my alignment still ok!!

Lucky Guy... Where about?


eastern honda

[rokkuchan]

haha....i done it for $55

I thought first 1000km was for free??? I got my first service free...

[spoon fit]

for free? the oil and oil filter too?

[MRFIT]

I work in the city...... so I don't think they will drop me off..... :D

besides.... by the time I finish work, it would be too late to pick up my car. So I guess I can only service it on Saturday..... which is always booked out.....

[MRFIT]

I've got my 1000km service for free too...... :)

[spoon fit]

I've got my 1000km service for free too...... :)

Damn ... :mad:

Hey, MRFIT.. you can go to GWS on Saturday next time..

[rokkuchan]

I thought for all brand new cars is first service free... had 3 different cars, all first service was free for me...

It's essential to get checked and oil/oilfilter changed at 1kkm... It's like making sure the brand new car has no faults...

oh well, too bad for those guys who didn't get for free. just mention it to them next time you get a new car.

I think the labor fee is free, but u still need to pay for the engine oil!

[Catcha]

Also in the same wagon as those that got it free

[wyl03]

i think it all depends on the dealer - whether or not he wants to offer 1st service for free. i certainly didn't get it for free .. but it's not that expensive though, as compared to a 10000kms or 20000kms servicing.

[jefflei]

Yes I agree with you. My Jazz is bought in larke hoskins Homebush, and the first service (1000km) is not free for materials like Engine Oil, Oil filter and they charge for the detergent on the windscreen too~~ :thumbdwn: what the f......
and they didn't stamp my log book ...i gotta ask them to stamp it on 5k km and I will go to other Honda dealer for servicing for SURE. god bless LH homebush ....

[wyl03]

jefflei - if you don't mind travelling a bit, you can check out Hanny's Performance in Smithfield (Victoria Road). they are very popular with Honda owners in Syd.

I sent my car there for oil & oil filter change last Saturday. Very fast (got there early so need not wait). Cheaper than what the dealer charges for similar work. Most importantly, they know what they are doing. :thumbsup:

[rokkuchan]

I actually got everything for free; all oil changed etc...

I remember it was all negotiated before signing the papers. :)

[Dreams]

i got mine 1000k service $50. thats GST included..

[DavidLing]

That is really good!! :thumbsup:

[muli]

i know in brissie @ centrax the mechanic there used to work for honda dealerships service department and they are alot cheaper than honda.

[MRFIT]

Damn ... :mad:

Hey, MRFIT.. you can go to GWS on Saturday next time..

GWS? Garry Warren Smith? for my 20k km service, I got quoted for $285 with the Gold card discount, and I end up paying $215 at Courtney and Patterson without the Gold Card..... so I don't think I will ever go and service at GWS anymore.... :D

[civiceg9]

1000k for free? Which Honda dealers is that?

MRFIT, GWS is a ripe off for service. They charge more and no courtey car too.

[MRFIT]

courtesy car? which dealer has FREE ones? let me know...... cos I thought it cost about 30 bucks a day to have one....

[quizery]

zzzz.. You guys pay $320 for 20000KM is still cheap... :( mine 390 for my type S :( so sad....

[spoon fit]

Jazz type S???

[DavidLing]

What is Jazz Type S??

i know Jazz GLi, VTi, VTi-S and Classic in Australia, but don't know Type S this model? is it import form other countries?

[spoon fit]

import!? haha...never heard

[terris08]

I think he just got Type S and VTi-S mixed up. That's all. I don't even think that Jazz Type S exists.

[spoon fit]

post up ur pic pls

[Catcha]

can't believe you guys are still going on about this, it's probably a joke and that person is just sitting back and laughing at your reactions

[spoon fit]

i already know he juz bullshit.

[brightboyfree]

haha....i done it for $55

what? My 1000 service only cost me $29.88 at highway honda....

[MRFIT]

Jazz Type S? I've only been gone from the forum for a few days...... and this whole new breed of Jazz pops up..........

ummmmmmmmmm................. O...............K...............

[spoon fit]

what? My 1000 service only cost me $29.88 at highway honda....

different state, different price.

[Zimp13]

Hey guys... u guys know that u can bring ur own engine oil and get the dealer to put that oil for u instead of buying the honda crap oil... (thats my personal view of honda oil)....my fren works at a dealer... for services they really do nothing except changing ur oil and oil filter... and charge u heaps of money... might as well go to other places (like ultra tune) and get their stamp... Ultra tune claim that their stamp is as good as honda stamp, not void honda warranty....

[MRFIT]

well..... I watched the Best Motoring VTEC club, the guy that owns Spoon said that the Honda engine oil is actually quite good.......

I agree the dealers are making at least 50% profit by doing the service, but when it comes to re-sale value, Dealer stamp is worth alot more than Ultra tune.... :)

[spoon fit]

well..... I watched the Best Motoring VTEC club, the guy that owns Spoon said that the Honda engine oil is actually quite good.......



vol 1?

[Dreams]

its always the LABOUR here in Aussie that could rip us off...
bahh..

[wyl03]

if u check out other threads in this forum, u'll find that the honda oil is held in high regards by many. not cheap too.

zimp13 - what do you not like about the oil?

and yes . .labour costs are expensive. also there is the $15 environment levy the dealer charges for disposing oil. :p

oil & filter change is relatively straight forward. u just need a good set of jack stands, ,car jack and filter wrench. i'm gonna do the oil change myself and only bring the car in for major servicing (eg 10000kms, 20000kms etc .. )

[civiceg9]

I think Honda oils is from Nisseki (ENEOS) http://www.eneos.co.jp/
Is a Jap oil company and BAR-Honda uses it in there engine so it must be good lol :D

[MRFIT]

I rang up three dealers today for quote for 30,000km service:

Garry and Warren Smith: $215
Courtney and Patterson: $219
Eastern Honda Doncaster: $205

so I guess not all services are cheaper in one dealer...... really have to ask around each time around..... cos for my 20,000km service, the quotes were:

Garry and Warren Smith: $279
Courtney and Patterson: $215
Easter Honda Doncaster: $235

[spoon fit]

how abt Ringwood one?

[MRFIT]

I've booked in for this sat morning, drop it off at 8:30am...... and pick it up before 12.... what the hell am I going to do for 2.5 hours??? without a car, I can't go anywhere...... :( :( :(

[wyl03]

If you go to Garry and Warren Smith, you can do the following...

1. Free Tea and Coffee and Biscuits.
2. Disturb the tyre shop and Toyota salesman (which my fren Ed does most of the time.)
3. Go swimming in the pool nearby.

[MRFIT]

zimp13 - what do you not like about the oil?

Not that i dont like honda oil... how many people that you know uses honda oil compared with the aftermarket fully synthetic oil? Secondly, there is just not enough info of honda oil i guess. Even those that works at Honda dont really know much about the oil. Finally, i always think that car manufacturers concentrate on manufacturing better cars rather than investing in R&D on their oils. I believe that most car manufacturer's oil are mineral based oil as well. :D

[Zimp13]

well..... I watched the Best Motoring VTEC club, the guy that owns Spoon said that the Honda engine oil is actually quite good.......

I agree the dealers are making at least 50% profit by doing the service, but when it comes to re-sale value, Dealer stamp is worth alot more than Ultra tune.... :)

MRFIT, I dont really agree with u that with dealer stamp your resale value is better. I have been here long enough to know the market. Once u try to sell ur car, no one will say "u service at honda, pay u more". Trust me on this one, i have sold quite a few cars here. Plus lets say u are rite, u service at honda and get better resale value. How much more? 2K?3K? think the money u spend with honda, easily that amount anyway. For warranty sake, yes, $%$%^&^$# no choice. But as for now, my last 2 new cars, never went to the dealer. Anyway, i kept them for 2-3 years and sell, condition still good, got stamped from different service provider, spent the money on modifying the cars rather than contributing to the dealer, the buyers also happy to see the mods on the car. In Australia, really not worth, car is cheap, but resale value is not good. Nothing anyone can do to change that. :p OOPPss.. talk too much..... :D

My friend told me there is a pool nearby.. have a look around next time you are there... or check the melway.. :D

Courtney and Patterson is still among the cheapest for both 20k and 30k services....Are they good? Has anyone been there for services yet? Please tell me. I may go there next time. Do they open on Saturday??

[MRFIT]

well, Courtney and Patterson has just had their brand new service department openned up..... the place is huge and very clean..... the price is good, and they can drop you off within a reasonable range.... I personally like it, especially because I live about 5 minutes away..... :)

But Eastern Honda washes and vacummes your car..... :)

[petsfact]

done my 30000km service today, 235$ + pollen filter for 80!!!!!! + a lot of free checking, lubricating, top up things.......

pfft.... but it's worth the money, car feels good as new....

[petsfact]

wooot! such an old thread someone bring me back from stone age!

[panda[cRx]]

a touch cheaper than us.... but we do a better job :p
all dealers will vary slightly in what they include for the service, most would have extras they do that are not in the book
