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
how abt Ringwood one?
so far!!!!!
I am working Mon ~ Fri....... so can only service my car on Sat..... which most dealers open til 12pm mid-day.....
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...... :( :( :(

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
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..... :DQuote:
