Servicing Accord

I am quite new in Melbourne and bought a Accord last year 2006 V6 Luxury. Now the time for first major service which is scaring me with the price. i checked with many dealers and found out that its a big difference in pricing.

Any suggestions on the dealers work quality. Howz the review of Yarra honda.

Please let me know your reviews with dealers.

Thanks & cheers.

Wow $200 for all that is a bargain or it's just labour cost and you supply the parts? Where is this workshop at?

Car service

I usually take my car to Honda dealer but not any more for several reasons.

1) Last service my car was scratched in 3 locations - they refuse to admit - I must admit this was the shonkiest dealer on the planet.
2) Second is the price - I was quoted $230 incl all levies but was charged $309 at the end. Nothing extra was done to incur those charges.

Now I just take my car to NRMA Car service and they are min 50% cheaper and very carefull with your new car. FivE star customer service.

To sum it all up - find yourself decent mechanic that can service your car and stamp the log book.

Cheers,
