Hi guys,
I purchased my accord a few months ago and just got it's 70,000km service at courtney and patterson heidelberg.
For all my previous cars i've taken it to my local mechanic but i thought what the hell i'll get it serviced at by a honda dealer. Some of you will disagree, but in my opinion you can't beat a dealer who services the same cars day in day out.
I rang them up and asked them how much it would be and they said about $250 plus about $30 more for FEO synthetic oil so i thought that was reasonable. When i dropped it off i told them not too change anything without checking with me first.
I got a call from them later and the rear brake pads needed to be changed, i was quoted $290 fitted which does not include machined disks which i thought was a bit rich. They said they don't machine them, i found this odd, does anyone know why?
Anyway, approx breakdown was this for anyone interested:
Labour for service: $126
Labour for rear pad change: $105
Rear break pads: $163
FEO sythetic: $63
Oil filter: $23
Washer drain: $2.60
Workshop and environmental charges: $15
I thought $63 for the synthetic was not bad, plus they gave me the 5L bottle with the left over oil without me even asking.
They said the 80,000km major service was about $500ish.
Hope someone finds this useful
