I just had my car booked in for the 45,000km service and cost me $295 at Werribee Hyundai.  Prior to that I had my car services at a VACC approved mechanic, thinking it might be slightly cheaper, but was the same price and prior to that I had the car serviced at Blood Hyundai in Geelong for $265 (at the appropriate intervals).

Apparently diesels cost more to service.  I note the oil alone is $100

You can buy perfectly good Castol Edge Sport 5w 30 for about $35 on special (and ask them to use that) they will probably jack something else up a bit but you will still be ahead..

About $260 to $300 is about right for most dealer services on the diesel...My 60,000 cost cost me $295 including Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter, Fuel filter and a bit of labour to swap my Exhaust back to the original one...

My local K-Mart must be discontinuing Castrol Edge and they have a clearance sign with $25 for 5 litres. How many litres does the diesel hold?

[2i30s]

i think its 6 lts. [i own petrol i30s so im not 100% shure] 

[Shambles]

... How many litres does the diesel hold?

About 58, although the manual says 53

Oh hang on, you didn't mean fuel



The system takes around 5.3L iirc

Bugger, so need to get 2.....or probably 3 so there is enough for 2 oil changes.

[2i30s]

for $25 i would buy 3 or 4,thats a good price.

Need to be a bit careful as there are other cheaper viscosities of Castrol Edge (we need the 5W 30 for the Diesel)

I got a 5ltr and a 1ltr for my first oil change but they didn't touch the 1ltr so I just give them the 5 ltr now (and still have the 1 ltr or at least half of it in the boot for top ups - not that I need them)

Well I just paid $622 (AU$) for the 30,000 (CRDi) service which looking on here means I was shafted and the annoying thing was they didn’t prewarn me of the high cost nor the 3 hours it took to complete.. normally I wait for the service (around 1-1.5 hours)..  Large customer service fail, they also left dirty oil marks all over my car and forgot to put the "next service due sticker" on the window, perhaps they don’t want me back LOL..  Further insult to injury was the comment that was made that they had to have engineers work through their lunch break to finish my car... Was I supposed to feel guilty? I mean what gives, They knew it was a "while you wait service" when I booked (and the service mileage) and when I dropped it in: all they needed to do was to tell me to come in earlier (or later) when I made the booking..

Comment also made to "prepare" myself for the 45000 $ wise... I think I may need to change service centres!

i was going to post this pic a while ago and forgot to,i hope it helps a few people out.  [ prices are in 7.500kms intervals.]

[deleted]

[agentr31]

plus T/BELT...

[2i30s]

yes,at 90.000kms a timing belt is up for a change,from memory its around $400,i don't think that's a n excessive price as i changed a timing belt on my sisters KIA Rio not to long ago and it took me all day and the parts cost me $150 alone.so 8 hours labor and a belt i think a dealers timing belt cost is pretty good. IMO.   

[Dazzler]

Yes only required for the petrol (helps offset the extra cost for diesel fuel filters etc)

[agentr31]

yer i was going to say... diesel and timing belt dont really mix... i can only think of one at the moment, nissan RD series had timing belts IIRC

[2i30s]

its going to be interesting seeing the replys to my prices post.this is where we purchased our cars and have them serviced. [just 20mins from home]   

[darrellv71]

How do we see that pic (sorry newbie here) I cannot see it
