[Euro] How much was your 20,000 km service?

Finally I have the time to take my car in for it's 20,000km service. While it's there they gave me a dumb founded look when i told them to look at my 'creaky and loud' clutch - with questions following such as.. where is the noise coming from.. .... ....

which part of 'creaky' and 'loud' 'clutch' did you not understand?

i responded with, the clutch? and look at the master cylinder clutch (which i think went over their head) because i'm still annoyed about my clutch being stuffed up earlier (putting it the most nicest civilised way possible).

$377 for a damn service.. and $99 extra that i wanted for a wheel alignment and balancing..

$377 sounds like a bit to me.. so i'm wondering what everyone else has been charged?

plus they better fix this damn clutch related issue.. it's starting to really wear down on me.

Man where u getting your car service thats a MAD jacking just booked my car in for 20k service qouted me $255

Dealership car servicing is like open seasons! Just be glad you're not a girl... :P

ugh yeah... damn dealerships... but it's close to work..

i checked the invoice and looks like it's really just labour...

and funny that.. it took them 2 hours to get it done before i got the call..

to me.. that should be 200 bux.. bastards - oh well.

They lubricated the clutch tho.. so it's not creaking anymore.. heh

Shit man! That's bloody ex! I just booked my car in for it's 12 month 20,000km service. It's $247! Includes wheel rotation and balancing (no alignment). I'll be bringing my own oil, so it'll be slightly cheaper by 30-40 bux. Come to my dealer! They lubed my clutch and when the noise came back, they changed the cylinder.

You got totally ripped off. It cost me around $230 excluding engine oil. Including engine oil, it would have been around $260 mark. I complained to the dealer because I thought that was excessive compared to $117 for the 10,000km service.

Don't be too happy with the lubrication as well. Mine came back after a few thousand km. On a happier note, I got my clutch master cylinder replaced today. The gear shift is so much smoother and easier compared to before. It's like driving a totally different car.

I wasn't in the mood to have a shit fight about anything.. i'll be taking my business elsewhere that's for sure - even if i have to travel further (good excuse to take a day off work :))

The lubrication makes the car feel different - i'm so used to the resistance and the creaking.. but when you put the clutch right down you can feel it stick as it releases. I'll give it a few days/weeks.

pos honda..

man it sounds like i got ripped off too , i paid $247 just for the 1st 10,000 k service.

It always pays to call around for service should always call atleast 3 or 4 places local to you i found prices varied as much as 80-100 dollars

My 10,000km service was $247 as well. Both 10,000 and 20,000km involves the same procedure. It is the 40,000km service that is more expensive because of valvetrain clearance checks.

I don't think my Euro will last for the 40,000km service ;)

and the feel of the creaking has come back already... no noise yet..

absolutely hopeless.

Just got my car back from the 20,000km service. Cost me $198 with my own oil. The only downside I can see is that they use clip on weights to balance the 16" wheels. So there is scratching where it is put on and taken off.
