I have done the 20,000Km/12 months service today, and it cost me $197 only, and free installation of the exhaust pipe finisher (one of the Jazz accessories)! May be different state have different price!

:eek: :eek: :eek:
I quoted John Blair's Honda (Prahran) several months ago for 20000K service. They gave me $320... wtf?!?!
That's one reason why I had to cancel and source to another service station (UltraTune). It cost me almost half the price with my service book stamped.

I guess Honda doesn't have a standard price now....hmmm.... interesting....and suspicious....

I did my 10,000kms service last week for $150

Shouldn't the 30kkm service be around the same price as 10kkm? It was so long ago I can't remember... :)

I recently had my 80,000km service done at Collins (rockdale).. it was around the $400-500 range from memory. They are expensive, but do a really good job. (After years of messing around with dodgy mechanics I am happy just to pay the extra..)

wow wow...... Eastern Honda always charge more than others...... and Garry and Warren smith charges alot too...... comparing to them, Courtney and Patterson is the cheapest so far.....

I know the John Blair Honda's new car price is very good, I guess that's probably why they charge extra for services...... dodgy....

Well, I drive on "not-so-busy" road about 200km a week... my fuel consumption is around 6.7~6.9 with most of the time (80%) the air-cond is OFF ....my car is a CVT-7 GD3.....I feel it lack of power while in AUTO mode.... I need to run in 7speed mode with the TEC almost go in..... :P

Where about do you work? Some offer valet service where they pick up your car for services and return to you when done... Not sure if there is a limit in distance.

Just did my 1,000 km service today. Engine oil changed, oil filter changed, check this and that etc. $75. OK I guess.
10-02-2005, 04:12 PM

actually, for an auto car, if u allways run on free way or highway, the fuel consumption is lower then only run within a city or town. Coz' an auto car takes many fuel when braking!

I work in the city...... so I don't think they will drop me off..... :D

besides.... by the time I finish work, it would be too late to pick up my car. So I guess I can only service it on Saturday..... which is always booked out.....

I thought for all brand new cars is first service free... had 3 different cars, all first service was free for me...

It's essential to get checked and oil/oilfilter changed at 1kkm... It's like making sure the brand new car has no faults...

oh well, too bad for those guys who didn't get for free. just mention it to them next time you get a new car.

I think the labor fee is free, but u still need to pay for the engine oil!

i think it all depends on the dealer - whether or not he wants to offer 1st service for free. i certainly didn't get it for free .. but it's not that expensive though, as compared to a 10000kms or 20000kms servicing.
11-02-2005, 10:04 AM
jefflei

Yes I agree with you. My Jazz is bought in larke hoskins Homebush, and the first service (1000km) is not free for materials like Engine Oil, Oil filter and they charge for the detergent on the windscreen too~~ :thumbdwn: what the f......
and they didn't stamp my log book ...i gotta ask them to stamp it on 5k km and I will go to other Honda dealer for servicing for SURE. god bless LH homebush ....

jefflei - if you don't mind travelling a bit, you can check out Hanny's Performance in Smithfield (Victoria Road). they are very popular with Honda owners in Syd.

I sent my car there for oil & oil filter change last Saturday. Very fast (got there early so need not wait). Cheaper than what the dealer charges for similar work. Most importantly, they know what they are doing. :thumbsup:

GWS? Garry Warren Smith? for my 20k km service, I got quoted for $285 with the Gold card discount, and I end up paying $215 at Courtney and Patterson without the Gold Card..... so I don't think I will ever go and service at GWS anymore.... :D

1000k for free? Which Honda dealers is that?

Hey guys... u guys know that u can bring ur own engine oil and get the dealer to put that oil for u instead of buying the honda crap oil... (thats my personal view of honda oil)....my fren works at a dealer... for services they really do nothing except changing ur oil and oil filter... and charge u heaps of money... might as well go to other places (like ultra tune) and get their stamp... Ultra tune claim that their stamp is as good as honda stamp, not void honda warranty....
14-02-2005, 11:12 PM
MRFIT

well..... I watched the Best Motoring VTEC club, the guy that owns Spoon said that the Honda engine oil is actually quite good.......

I agree the dealers are making at least 50% profit by doing the service, but when it comes to re-sale value, Dealer stamp is worth alot more than Ultra tune.... :)

if u check out other threads in this forum, u'll find that the honda oil is held in high regards by many. not cheap too.

zimp13 - what do you not like about the oil?

and yes . .labour costs are expensive. also there is the $15 environment levy the dealer charges for disposing oil. :p

oil & filter change is relatively straight forward. u just need a good set of jack stands, ,car jack and filter wrench. i'm gonna do the oil change myself and only bring the car in for major servicing (eg 10000kms, 20000kms etc .. )

I think Honda oils is from Nisseki (ENEOS) http://www.eneos.co.jp/
Is a Jap oil company and BAR-Honda uses it in there engine so it must be good lol :D

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

If you go to Garry and Warren Smith, you can do the following...

1. Free Tea and Coffee and Biscuits.
2. Disturb the tyre shop and Toyota salesman (which my fren Ed does most of the time.)
3. Go swimming in the pool nearby.
