You mean the service one in Victoria??? I've been to the Frankston one, the service is higher compare to others.. (e.g. First service of $75 and others are less than $50). I suppose they charge more because I've got a loan car.

Very happy with the Master Technician there as he is very helpful and he knows his sh*t.

Only thing I don't like is their location... very far from where I live.

[sheepo]

well i meant overall =P although Robert Lane Honda seems to be good.. based on the list that is just wondering what do you all think about that?

lol seen that

[bigteethygrin]

I've delt with rick damelian and i dont think they are very far above other dealers at all. I had work done there and it was sloppy over priced and took way too long. My only service i brought the car in for they wanted to keep it for 3 days!.. I wouldnt take my car back there.. not that they are bad but purely because they are not worth the money.
