I just copied the dealer I used otherwise this thread would be 10000 pages in no time. I would have given then a 9 but they delayed me with a Tx valve once hoping I would go away but got them to change it next service anyway.

Berwick New World Honda
Antonio 84(6)

I would have given them an 8, usually pretty happy with their service, however I asked them too look at my drivers side door lock sticking and they gave me an unenthusiastic "we couldn't replicate the issue" when I know it happens 95% of the time you press the unlock button. Points off for them.

woo hoo me toooooooooooooo.

This thread will be closed if the dealers who provide poor service are listed with low scores. If you want to keep this thread open, the only way is to list dealers that you were HAPPY to have your car serviced at. Leave the bad list out.

Formula honda! represent yo

i get deals and know all the guys so ima give it a (9) just cuz a ten would be egotistical;)

nax how about a 9.99 then? hahaha

weeeeeeelll OK! if u think its so awsome ill give it a 9.99!

but honestly, ive dealth with people before and during my job here and all have had nothign but positives to say. other then a mixup with a vti-r engine around six years ago :P

Guys, I just removed the poor ratings in order to keep this thread open. Post up the good ones, and leave the bad ones as is. We will still achieve the objective of this thread but without putting the forum at risk.

AGREED, remove this thread.
just use rep from word of mouth (family + friends) or try them yourself.

I gave this thread a chance, but I guess it is too difficult to control. Thread closed.

Round 2. Reopening the thread, but please, build up the positive dealers so we know "where to go", rather than "where not to go". This way the thread can stay open.

Service is good, they always cover the seats and floor mats before entering, didn't get a 10 because they once fixed a problem with the seat, but not perfectly.

Thanks for re-opening the thread aaronng I never intended on comments good or bad when i started the thread, was trying to think of a way of posting without comments....tried a poll thought this was a great way to do this but was disappointed when I found out limit of 10 in the poll (which I thought was stupid)

Don't see why we can't post 1 to 10 for all service dealers-without the comments though :confused:

People on this forum have the right to know which dealers give good service and which give poor service, if anything this will keep the dealers on their toes and get them to get their acts together.

I'm not going to argue with you on this one cause I have great respect for you just feel frustrated at the amount of censorship and not being able to help other members on making the right choices ;)

Yeah i agree.But some people don't word their negative comments the right way and possibly leave Ozhonda and themselves open to potential legal action.

Sutherland Tynan Motors so far...9/10

Travis Honda Frankston 10/10!

I drive all the way from doncaster just to get my service or anything done there.

Good Prices, Professional Staff. Never had a problem, always been fair. Doesn't get much Better then that!

I'm pretty pleased about the two 10/10 scores for Travis Honda Frankston. Recently bought my new Euro at Peninsula Honda Mornington (which is part of Travis Honda, more or less). Let's hope they are just as good as their mates nearby in Frankston - they have certainly been talking up the quality of their service. If not, I can easily go to Frankston!

[NSW] Rockdale Collins Honda (8)
Just got a service on monday, checked tyres, retensioned suspension, checked brakes, replaced fluids, filters and washed my car for $215

Hey, does anyone get their tyres rotated at service?
I never have, but I think they should be doing it........

yep, got my tyres rotated at my 10k service

They always rotate my tyres too.
Kloster Honda 9
Eastwood Honda 8.5
Scotts Honda 9.5 (not only they wash my car, shine my wheels, they even vacuum the floor for me!!)

I can vouch that Bunbury Honda do a pretty good service! They do a pretty thorough job and have a good cleaning service too.

Can any Brisbanians suggest a place for servicing? (preferably southside)

Homebush Larke Hoskins Homebush
In 2004 those SoB's charged me $450 for a 10k service with a/c regassing... go figure
-90000 /10

Southside Honda, Woolongabba.
or
Indooroopilly Westpoint Honda (service area in Toowong)

you will find above 2 being consistently cheaper than Highway down at springwood.

Prestige Honda Melville in Perth

i bought my CL9 from them new and have used them for service's everytime.

Car went in for the 70k service this morning, waiting to hear what they say about having a test pipe lol!

Just got a quote back from them. They've both said around the 220 mark for the 70k. Fair price?

If your car is under warranty and you need to go to a dealer then you'll just have to take it.

All minor services are between 205-220 in Brisbane, those bunch of dealers are thick as theives me thinks.
- just make sure they also do a diagnostics on the car for that price regardless whether theres problem or not, skip that 'Free' car wash if you have to.

I'm going to HondaCare at Sumner Park next week (minor service for $155, with ecu diagnostic) and i'll let all ya'll know how they are.

Not under warranty. I might give centrax a call as well (was reco to them when I was on the hunt for an EP3R) Unfortunately Sumner park is quite out of the way for me but you can still pm me to let me know how it went.

Just checked highway honda in Springwood. It's $205m inclu tyre rotation, ecu diagnostic. Anyone got some feedback from Highway honda?

Thats fine, i got no complaints last time i went there (3 yrs ago tho).

*UPDATE* QLD/Brisbane

Had the car serviced at Honda Care at Sumner Park today, the place was flooded to the roof but he opened this week as soon as the river had fallen, they're working from a generator at the moment cause they've got no power. And their proper office and waiting room "melted" away from the floods so I was literately sitting in the workshop looking at them do their thing.

Got no complaints, at all, the 130k service for $155 (I got my own oil and filter so it only cost me $98)

The guys there really knows their Honda's and their VW's for that matter (to the point they point out the "hidden trick" Honda put on their power steering hose)... especially the owner Scott, who worked for Honda for over 10 years.

Funnily enough when I was there today, some guy who looks like he work for a Subaru dealer (from uniform) brought his car to him for servicing (?!?)

I had my Euro serviced at Astoria Honda in Bentleigh East 2 weeks ago.

Was very impressed,they changed the oil,used genuine Honda oils,replaced the oil filter,rotated the tyres,and washed the car,all for $236,which I thought was reasonable.

Car is going brilliantly,and only 10 percent of my tyres/brakes have been used.

Very happy with my purchase now...

Just a suggestion for all the guys thats going to dealers to get service.

ALWAYS ask what oil they'll be using... A lot of them use Castrol Magnetc or worse... Castrol GTX.
Ask for Honda FEO Ultra...

Think I might give honda care a go just to top up on oils. Thanks for the review Fred

They used to rotate and balance mine, until I change all to Bridgestone and I have free tire service (alignment & balancing) by them. Thus I ask the Honda SC not to touch the tires. Honda use the ugly clip on weights while bridgestone use the stick on type

sorry havent got a euro, but FORMULA MODBURY (10) service our Accord.
Basic service costs 220 inc loan car, wheel rotate and ballance and super dooper car wash. They also bring the loan car around and swap the child booster into the loan car for you. :)
Getting the 30K done next week, asked for a City, but theyre all gone, only got Jazzes now :(

I take my Honda to Absolute Car Care in Wooloongabba - the guys there are brilliant and have built up a loyal following of clients (repeat custom is the best judge of how good a mechanic is). They are usually booked out a week in advance!

Anyway they are Honda specialists and overall very good no bs mechanics. Totally honest about your car and what it does and doesn't need done to it. I took my CL9 there for its 80k service and it wound up costing ~$460 for the lot (cheapest in Brisbane by a long shot as it is an intensive service). They did a very comprehensive appraisal of its condition and didn't try to rip me off.

As an FYI they stock Honda Genuine Parts and Fluids for all their services.

Will continue to service my car there and would definitely go a fair bit out of my way to do so. So 10/10 from me.

Just throwing it out there too that if anyone is looking for the cheapest available servicing you should go to http://www.fixedpricecarservice.com.au/ and they will compare mechanics in your area on prices for a particular logbook service. Really handy!!

Not sure, but one of my mates had a bad experience servicing with them. One of the mechanics actually drove his 2010 Honda Civic against a corner or something, completely scratched the side of his car/doors. That might be just his luck though lol.

I took my CU2 to Austral Honda at Newstead...10k service was $210, for pretty much the lot, tyre rotation + Premium Honda Oil change etc etc.

Hope that helps!

There's 2 grades of Honda oil. I think they would've used the cheap Dino FEO, since the full synthetic is like 3-4 times the price of the Dino.

Austral don't use genuine Honda oil the last time I serviced with them. I remember the use either castrol magnetec or mobil semi synthetic

Oh...well I didn't pay particular attention. I'm sure they would have no problem if you specified the oil to use though.

Besides, I was always told that the oil you use doesn't matter as much as how frequently it and the filters are changed.

Best to supply your own oil.That way you know exactly what oil is in your engine.Also ask them for the leftover oil to confirm they actually used it.

There's oil and then there's oil. If it doesn't matter much there wouldn't be soon many types of oil around. It makes a hellova lot of difference on the road performance and even fuel consumption as I had found out lately.

2012 bump!

My euro is creeping up to it's 80k service, and was wondering how much people paid for it and their experiences. The 80k service is classified as a major yes?

Yes, major service, quotes seem to vary wildly!

As a guide, I got mine done at Larke Hoskins Homebush in Sydney for $462, supply own oil. Original quote was $628 using their oil, including an auto trans flush (which I declined as I had flushed it myself prior to that).

Car seemed healthier post-service, valve clearance adjustment must've done it some good. Only gripe was that they'd screwed with all my radio settings! :P
