Do you mind telling me how much you paid for an auto service?

Quoted $480 including filters, gaskets and fluid for a flush. Does that sound reasonable?

Default service rip offs

Have you noticed the difference between USA and AUS service schedules, the US owners manual states replace auto fluid at 72 months 96000ks and thats only if using for commercial, towing or desert operation! Our manuals say to replace at 24 months 48000ks.
Its the same with most service listings in the US v's AUS manual. We seem to get ripped off and forced to over service. They only replace spark plugs at 160,000ks v's our 48,000ks.
Download the owners manual from the US site and see the masive difference between service intervals
