KJ Service Cost

[ghewkins]

My KJ is due for it's 36k service and I have been quoted $390 dollars by DC at Parramatta.

This price seemed a bit high to me. Does anybody know of any other locations in Sydney for servicing Jeeps.

thanks

Thats about the same price the former owner of my car paid. According to the reciepts.

[Dorzun]

and a lot less than what I recall my last service wasHave you called Suburban at all????

[GMEMUD]

My 36000 service was $206 at Mackay dealer.

[salesguy]

Ouch.

Hurty.

Call Suburban and some of the other Jeep dealers. It would be very interesting to find out what everyone else is quoting.

[North Coast Wrangler]

hey salesguy what is your dealership quoting these days?

[ghewkins]

Wagon Wheels quoted $350

[Fouros]

thats still not bad

my folden falcodore services used to cost 400+ for a minor and anything up to 700 for a major

[GMEMUD]

Just checked my receipts and the 12000 service $207. 24000 service $207 36000 service $206

My cars going in for the 12000km service and my dearlear has told me the cost is $340 which includes balacing and wheel alignments.

just for comparisons sake
Avalanche 10,000 = $296
Wg CRD = $278

The difference was due purely to the cost of the oil used -
WG =Mobil 1 /10w50, Ava =Mobil 1 /10W30.
Both MILES in front of Landcruiser I had :hammer:

[ghewkins]

I just checked my 12k service receipt and I was charged $210 (Wagon Wheels). 24k Service was free due to service guys drilling two holes in the side of my car whilst installing my cargo barier (Long story). This is why I thought $390 was a bit pricing.

Hey Salesguy. Any reason for the large increase in servicing costs.

Hey Salesguy. Any reason for the large increase in servicing costs.

Yeah.

Very hard to make money selling cars these days. (cue violins) All the manufacturers are screwing the dealers' margins to move the metal; used cars are worthless; money is cheap and the only thing left is servicing. Worldwide trend, really, we're just catching up to where the NA + Euro markets have been for a while now. My tip is the next big money spinner will be private operating leases. One monthly payment covering everything except fuel, no mods allowed, return it at the end and sign up for another one.

[troyster]

Wait until you hit the 48K service. >$1000 all the oils. Ouch

[ghewkins]

Will be going to Suburban quoted $160.00 to $190.00.

[salesguy]

That's the way to go, but make sure they stamp your book and keep a detailed copy of the work order to prove they have done all the required things.

I'll let our service boys know about Sub's prices though.

Just got the stuff for my 48000 service today, engine oil filter $19.17. air cleaner element $25.85.both genuine mopar. ngk spark plugs $31.56. + gst=$84.25. 5ltr valvoline 15w40 semi-synthetic oil $14.99 = $99.24 + 1.5hours of my time= service done. only hastle was having to move header tank so as to get at rear plugs on right bank. Much easier than I thought it would be.
