Re: Service Costs Comparison
Hi Jalal,
With the number of stupid little things I've had to question with Col Crowford after they've had their hands on my car (incorrect tyre pressures, far too much oil etc) I doubt they can use your excuse for their high costs. Granted I'd expect their real estate to cost a bit as it's a big site and it's not exactly cheap up here but I'd struggle not to laugh in their faces if they tried to claim a higher than average number of experienced mechanics as the reason for their high charges.

Re: Service Costs Comparison
My 20,000km service cost me $290 in Brisbane through a Nissan Dealer. That is a joke considering I have a Honda that I get serviced. It cost me $145 for a 20,000km service due to fleet discount. The public just get ripped off
Regards
Shane

Re: Service Costs Comparison
Hi All,
Had my T30 50k service done on Tuesday at Nissan Rockdale. Great service as usual
$231.
Needed new pad front and back but asked them not to do it. No they had no problem with that and the guy was even nice enough to send me to a place in Marrickville where I was able to get Bendix pads for $55 rear and $60 front
Would recommend them to anyone

They didn't call me back as requested with a price on front and rear wipers fitted, and when I rang and they couldn't give me an answer without passing me around the departments, I told them not to bother.
They also reset both my trip meters, which they have done before, which is annoying.
Dealing with these people I always end up seeing black (not just red) and can almost feel steam coming out my ears.

Going by my speedo it would have been about 1.5km - if that!

Re: Service Costs Comparison
chased up quotes for the 80 k service yesterday . Dealer quote $620.. I had already done some of the service before the trip to Mt Isa like the radiator ,drain,clean and fill . New plugs and new air filter . Price then dropped to $350 to $400.
Got a quote from my usual mechanic/service centre only to find his price was comparable so he's now going to reassess and see what he can do .
