Too late now,before you paid the bill you should have checked it then questioned the additives and refused to pay for them because you didn't ask for them nor does HA recommend them(it says so in the manual)Additives are a revenue raiser for the service dept.:thumbdwn: :thumbdwn:

Remember when you are ringing up comparing prices ask what the service includes and what it doesnt....

Where you get the edge for $45?? So far all the Castrol price I see is $48 I think Kmart have discount sometime back, but missed it.

Arrong, where about is your dealer? $247 looks like a good deal to me and my 20k is coming up soon.

what oil are you using btw?

cheers

$44 actually.From my contact at local Honda spares.He gives me less 10%.:thumbsup:I'm going to use Elf Excellium SM 5W30 from now on,it's only $10 more and supposed to be better than Castrol.

My car is in for its 20,000 today. Quoted $235. Works out to ~$200 since I'm supplying my own oil. Eastern suburbs, Melbourne.

Saw it at $45 at Supercheap (discount) or Autobarn (I think regular price) the other day.

Whoooooo... just done my 10k km service....

Damage $132.xx
Using my own oil, get them to check the brakes cause it was squeeling in the morning/cold stops and the oil clutch paddles (dont think they did anything to the clutch, as the receipt mention it was normal).
Tire rotation and front tire balanced.
Extra $2.xx for some washer water stuffs.

Pretty good :thumbsup:
