Brisbane - Where do you get your car serviced?

[game_accord]

Hi,

I would like to know where members get there euro serviced from in the Brisbane area?

[Darkii_]

Heya,

I service my euro at Austral Honda, first 1000km service was good as they fixed up a stone chip i had in my door for me free of charge =)

And i got a loan crv from the sales department for the day as i bought my car from them and they ran out of jazz's at the service dep. Going there for my 10,000km next month, will update you on how that goes.

[dyljoy]

Austral honda is a great place to do the service. and they provide "done service in 45mins", u should be make a booking advance for sure.

[Darkii_]

Just going to hijack your thread a bit, i have a few problems i want them to check up. Squealing brakes/ crunching noise when i wind my driver door windows down/ wind noise coming through driver door at 100k's/ creaking windscreen / vibrating clutch.

Would they be able to do this in a 45min service thing, i don't mind if it takes longer, just wondering if i should book a normal service or ask for that express service. Want them to do a proper job and not have to rush to do it within 45mins if its not possible.

[dyljoy]

I think u can ask them for these when you make a booking. If they can fix them over 45mins, still worth it.

All that in 45 mins.?I doubt it.BTW what year is your car?

[TOH07]

I get my car serviced at Westpoint honda. Service department is next to the Regatta Pub off Coronation drive (whereas sales is in indooropilly)...

I thought they had really good service, resonable price and its close to my home.

I got my euro in November 2007, its the accord euro tourer they offered. Yeah when i call for a booking i'll just ask them if its possible, else ill just wait the usual time.

"45 minutes service" can only be done for minor service only, 2 so-called honda hand picked mechanics work on your car simutaneosly to achieve quick turn over time. If you have other problems need to be looked at, I doubt it can be all done in 45 minutes.. unless they just lub everything that's making creaking noise.
:p

Back to the topic. I service my Euro at Highway Honda as they provide free loan car, but you have to book about 2-3 weeks in advance if you want a loan car.
Austral's service department is new, bright and big. Loan car is $40. (1000km service gives you free loan car if car purchased there.) I guess if you plan to have a day in the city, get them to drop you to the city, save you a day of parking fee.

I've always got my parts from southside Honda as always been the cheapest.
No idea about servicing but parts definitely the cheapest.

[cutchorama]

I used to use northside Honda but I was unhappy with the customer service there. I now go to southside Honda at East Brisbane and they are great; can't complain.

[riruiz_88]

i go to southside honda as well, and customer service is great in the Spare Parts area. cant say much about mechanical work as i have never taken it to Honda for a service. but i had no idea that they are one of the cheapest, they have also one many awards. so good thing :thumbsup:

[10KRPM]

i take mine to austral honda at newstead. A bit exxy so i might try southside next and see if there is a diff.

Good service though but the driver they use to take you into the city is a bit of a tool

[game_accord]

I usually take mine to Austral but now my 60,000km service has come up, it's pretty exy.

Austral Honda $460
Springwood honda - $240
Repco authorise service centre $240

I think I might change to another service centre and I can save myself $200. Big price difference.

[Darkii_]

Oh dam thats a big price difference. I'll make sure i look around for my 10,000km service.

Have you serviced your car at highway honda before? Is there really much difference in the quality of the service you get?

[Dru42]

i took mine to Hondacare over at summners park, as its down the road from work, and they did a good job. im quite happy with it. my mates take their hondas there too for a while now, his happy with it as well

[thenozman]

I've had the last two services done at Highway. They are a fair bit cheeper than Southside and the service is alot more friendly.

[Min988]

I get mine serviced at Highway Honda, there quite nice and pretty straight up.

[kraiye]

where are they?

[Min988]

Pacific Highway, near the new Ikea

[Darkii_]

Yeah i went there a few months ago when Hyundai was offering a free ecowash thing. Went and go my car washed and walked to Honda to have a bit of fun lol.

The sales guy there was pretty nice and let me test out the CTR and stuff even though i said i wasn't going to buy anything. He told me about the new models comming out and i guess he was right about the non-type r civic hatch.

I might consider these guys now, will ring around to see prices etc. More feedback the better guys! let us know where you service your car

[dyljoy]

I am never try the service from Highway Honda beofre, coz I got a bad exprience of buying 8th civic 2 years ago from there. Now, i would like to have a try next time, coz it close to Ikea, i can enjoy the $2 breakfast and shop around at Ikea when taking the service. haha

[kraiye]

$2 breakfast??!!!!
please explain!

[dyljoy]

ya, they provide daily from 9:30am - 11:00am, the meal include bacon, tomato, egg and sausage. Great value, have a try one day, mate! haha

[Euro08Jaz]

how much are people paying for the 10k service?

[tony1234]

how much are people paying for the 10k service?
Approx.$180 by memory.

[hooyn]

J&H mechanical on beaudesert rd.

he knows his stuff and is always busy :D lol seems everytime i go there, theres always loads of cars parked around the workshop HEAPS!!!
believe hes done some honda swaps for members on here as well.

[revivor]

Sorry for an old thread.
Has anyone done a 80k service at southside honda? How much and how long did they take?

[thebigd]

I have stuck with Blue Ribbon Honda at Yamanto, despite living at Middle Park. I purchased the car there, and they continue to keep my service business. By booking ahead, they will come and pick up the Euro, and leave a courtesy Jazz. Service and communication levels have always been first class.
