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 :eek:

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...
-
anyone near the Gulf of Mexicco can get it for free :lol: :lol:
-
Crude jokes pah :D
-
in about three hours im off to have my 15000km service,it will cost $220au

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?
-
i think its 6 lts. [i own petrol i30s so im not 100% shure] :razz:
-
... How many litres does the diesel hold?
About 58, although the manual says 53
Oh hang on, you didn't mean fuel :rolleyes: :lol:
The system takes around 5.3L iirc
-

Bugger, so need to get 2.....or probably 3 so there is enough for 2 oil changes.
-
for $25 i would buy 3 or 4,thats a good price. :cool:

Hopefully they still have a good supply. For some reason yesterday i decided i would have a think about it :rolleyes:

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)

just got back from our 30000 servive $ 550 :evil: :evil:
-
Yes i made sure it was 5w 30 Castrole Edge Sport :)
Did you grab some (none at Devonport or Launceston Kmart today... :'()
-
i had my i30 serviced a month ago and it cost £142,i had been quoted £162 when i came to pay up they reduced it by £20.
-
31 000km - 144Euro

None left. Always the way. They don't sell anything 5w30 at all anymore.

Including:
Mobil 1 ESP 6,7 Litres
Oilfilter
Washer fluid 1,33 Litres

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. :razz:[ prices are in 7.500kms intervals.]
[deleted]
-
plus T/BELT...
-
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. :razz:
-
Yes only required for the petrol (helps offset the extra cost for diesel fuel filters etc)
-
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
-
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] :mrgreen:

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

click on it bra!

yes as mentioned,click on the pic. :cool:

Yeah I have the same prob. I think it depends on where the pics are being hosted and if the host or the files are still with valid links.
Some websites will cease hosting files if you're bandwidth exceeds limits and/or you do not continue to log on to their website or use their facilities.

That's my point. There is no thumbnail.
I waited about 2 minutes (doing something else) for it to download - nothing.
Tried again a few hours later. Still nothing.
It's there now though. :eek:

that's freaky :eek: it happens on occasion to me in other threads on the site. :rolleyes:.

At least I'm not alone. :cool:

Well I'm putting mine in for it's 1st service (1,000kms) this week, so I'll post it up once its done.
-
my i.000km service cost me only the oil and filter and sump plug washer, $60 i think it was. you cant bye the oil and filter for that price. the labor was free :wink:
-
My 1,000 klm service was totally free. They told me they supplied the oil free but I have no way of knowing if it was actually replaced. Didn't expect the oil to be done anyway and only knew about it when I picked the car up.
-
Can see it now... I can also see (now) I paid $100 to much... grumble!
-
who did the service.?
-
lol when i took my car in, i had winged about them not stocking a filter and oil...
i marked the filter housing... when i got it back it had been opened, and there was oil everywhere so i know it was done
-
do you use the dealers that you bought your car from for its servicing Ian.?
-
yes... why? i dont plan on ever taking it to a dealer/mechanic again tho...
-
yes... why? i dont plan on ever taking it to a dealer/mechanic again tho...
that answers my question,i asked because they damaged your car. :mad:
-
lol the only reason i went there was because the service was "free" i didnt even want to take it in but my father recomended i take it there "incase they forgot something in the PD"
-
thats fair enough. :wink:
-
meh your better off doing your services yourself anyway... that way YOU can pick up on things that are wearing prematurely and catch them before any damage is done... will a mechanic tell you if your belts are looking dodgy??? probably not... and by doing it yourself you can make sure that its done properly
-
I just paid £146.00 (UK) for my 12 month service. Hyundai main dealer in Southend.

I just paid £146.00 (UK) for my 12 month service. Hyundai main dealer in Southend.
I asked for a quote on a five year service plan (i.e. five services) for a 1.4 petrol i30 and was quoted £1,085.43, so it averages out at about £200 a time.
-
My second dealer service on 1.6 petrol cost me £171 :razz: and a scratched bumper :evil: :evil: which has hopefully now been repaired...........I believe that the striping has been put on today and the bumper refitted to the car tomorrow................I hope so anyway as the i20 is now on the last remnants of fuel and I don't want to put any more in :P
-
I think Hyundai is pretty good with service costs compared to some.. I was talking to a mechanic today about the fixed price servicing on my Toyota Hybrid (A$130 for each of the first 4) and he was saying Subaru first service acan be over A$1000 :eek: I did some searching on the net and there are some scary stories about .. see here..

-
When the car was MOT'd today at an indeprndent I asked for a price for the 3 year service and they quoted £15 less than the dealer.
Unclear as to the oil speci, mine need C3, as the priced seemed low. So if the wrong oil quoted then price about same as dealer.
Also, the dealer provides a courtesy car free of charge, just pay for fuel, the independent doesn't. So that worth at least £15 - £20 for 1 day hire.
-
In Poland average price for the 30 000km / 1 year service CRDI it will cost about 700 PLN(=175EUR=250AUD). Including oil 5W30 Shell or Castrol, oil filter and climate control air filter.

For the first annual service: 155€ (222 Aus, 127 £)
Includes the... unacceptable BP visco 3000 (Part synthetic, 10w-40, ACEA A3/B3)

I didn't realize it at first.
Nevertheless, i don't think that they'll admit this as a fault. Viscosity (10w-40) seems the right choice for hot weather and noone(*) constrains them from using part-synthetic or crappy oils (well, i should but i didn't bother...) :'(
(*) or i think so...
-
just had my 15000km
AU$133 inc parts and labour
did buy my own oil though
nb: they didn't perform the wheel rotation so not sure if that affected the price
-
nb: they didn't perform the wheel rotation so not sure if that affected the price
I would expect that this would take a max of 10 minutes, if that, assuming the car is up on the ramp and all wheels are "suspended"
A few bucks at most!!!
-
yer any reason they didnt do a rotation?
-
and another point snowcherry, i wonder how they checked the brakes at 15.000kms if the wheels weren't removed. :rolleyes:
-
well they didn't do them because they couldn't find the wheel locks (which were in the car the whole time but they didn't bother calling me to ask where they were)
but as i'd had the wheels rotated about a month prior i let it go. (didn't realise it was on the 15000 eh well)
not sure about the brakes though :question:
-
My 60K is up tomorrow, $575. One other dealer I called wanted $750!! My steering rattle is very bad now and I think my glow plug fuse has blown :'( I'm not going to take my car back until they have fixed the steering as last time they replaced a shaft that did nothing.
-

That's a very good price, I'm impressed! I rang 3 different dealers for a quote on the 15000km service.
Keystar: $312 with oil, ~$200 without
Zupps: $330 with oil, ~$270 without
Marooka: $297 with oil, $193 without
:( :(

Snowcherry has got the SR (2.0ltr PETROL model..) that would be the difference.. :cool:

not sure about the brakes though :question:
No trouble checking brake pad wear through the alloy wheels.
-

That IS a good price.
Mine's due in about 1500klms. I might manage to hold off till we get back from overseas though as I doubt I'll cover that in the next 6 weeks.
I'm going to take it to the dealer I bought it from (Sunco Hyundai) and we'll see how it goes.
After that though, I may do my own.
-

BINGO!! thats how i do it if im curious to how the brake pads are going on my other car!!

i was quoted $216 with the oil - so it dropped $83 for not having that.
i see in your quotes yours drops more without the oil - interesting.
i'm in central queensland, maybe they just don't put as high a premium on each component up here as they do in the city? (which i'm surprised on really)
-
Nah it's like DAzz said, it's cos I have a diesel and you have a petrol, that's why the difference in price.

Is the wheel rotation necessary on 15.000 service?
-
Is the wheel rotation necessary on 15.000 service?
babis, to be perfectly honest, tyre rotation should not be an automatic occurrence.
Although on FWD cars, the wear on the front can be three times what it is on the back, rotation can mask suspension problems and remove a useful diagnostic tool for mechanics later on.
Rotation became popular as a way of ensuring all four tyres wore out at about the same time (on RWD cars where you would get only slightly different wear patterns front and rear).
However on FWD cars, you can get heavy wear at the front, accentuated by heavy shoulder wear on the LHF due to roundabouts etc. (maybe it happens on the right hand tyre in Europe - I guess you go round roundabouts in an anticlockwise direction so the wear would be on the outside of the RHF tyre).
In addition, there is more opportunity for the rear to get out of alignment, thus causing abnormal wear.
If you rotate the tyres, and somewhere down the track you have someone trying to diagnose a problem, they've got to guess what wear on what tyre is caused by what problem.
Confused??? Sorry. :-[
However, having said all that, rotation if done, is best carried out at intervals of no more than 10,000klm. It should be done by someone who can tell at a glance from the tyres as they come off, if there are any alignment, balance or pressure issues.
To the right person, looking at a tyre is just like reading a book. It tells a clear story of what's going on with the suspension of the car, what the driver is like and the type of roads they travel.
Each driver needs to decide wheher they want to be replacing two tyres at a time or all four. If two, don't rotate. There are benefits and shorcomings to both options which i won't go into in this post but can expand on it if anyone wants me to.
-
That was very explanatory indeed.
...rotation can mask suspension problems and remove a useful diagnostic tool for mechanics later on.
...looking at a tyre is just like reading a book.
...and that's something i never thought of, so i shall leave my book open, risking of changing tyres sooner. After all, it's an opportunity to get rid of Hankooks :rolleyes:
Thanks!
-
Nice explanation Trev.. I have been lucky most of the time being able to time my rotations to have all four tyres wearing out at the same time (on the few cars I have kept long enough...) :razz:

i had my rotation done around 12000k.
at my 7500 service (actually done closer to 10000) i mentioned a 'wiggle' at high speed but they didn't find anything and i decided to have the rotation done as a prelude to an alignment check. just haven't done the alignment check yet. apparently the rotation showed the tyres were wearing evenly though.
-
Well I doubt very much it is worse than Honda servicing costs, even the diesel services sound at least 25% cheaper than my petrol civic.. Just have to ring around each service...
-
i dunno...
epic pricing must go to fiat... my boss has a fiat 500 for his missus... fiat quoted him $600 for the first service...
-
fiat quoted him $600 for the first service...
another Italian rip off....
-
yeah ok that is worse than Honda, but Honda is still worse than Hyundai, and by more if you only intend on doing 15,000km/1 year services..
From drive review..
"Honda dealership servicing is a killer. To be avoided at all costs. While I would buy another new Honda, the dealership servicing costs would put me off. It is how they recoup their money. "
The other interesting thing for me will be when I get the i30 and drive to Sydney next, as with two adults, luggage and one child I can't beat around 10l/100km on the hume in the 07 Civic even without aircon (cruise control set at 110km and I rarely stop)... I keep telling the service center but they are not interested :-[, so the diesel i30 will be a good test for me..
-
LOL... good old italians! always out to make a quick sly $$$
"recoupe" a honda is a BLOODY EXPESIVE car to begin with!!!
-
good old italians! always out to make a quick sly $$$
I wonder what Dazz will think of this.........
-
... a honda is a BLOODY EXPESIVE car to begin with!!!
Yes and no, in the grand scheme of things (compared to other Japanese cars) the Civic was actually a decently priced car, but yeah not Hyundai value level..
I got a bad taste from Honda based on all the fit/finish problems I had with my Thai manufactured Civic. Bubbled paint on the roof, vents falling out, electric windows sticking.. It was all fixed of course and they gave me loan cars each time, but it ruins the fun and with service costs and the poor economy I get on long trips that we do, I have just had enough of Honda.
-
umm... love it?
-
On Tuesday paid 1st service for wife's i20 CRDi, £135.17 plus 17.5% value added tax.
My i30's 1st Service is due next Friday 22nd October, I will post cost.
No faults at all.....so far.
-
1.6 CRDi. £113.42 plus vat = £133.27 including full valetting inside & out.

Both diesels, all charges identical except Labour - additional £25.55. No idea why, did not ask :neutral:

maybe they decided i didn't pay enough. just received letter advising i haven't been in for a service in over 6 months :exclaim: :rolleyes:
-
I asked the local mechanic what he would charge for a 15,000km service on a diesel if I provided the oil and filter. He said $60.

I don't look Italian in the face unlike one of my brothers... but I have been married 3 times and are quick to stand to attention if I see a pretty lady :lol:

Ahh, the Italian Stallion!
I remember seeing that movie years ago.....it featured some unknown actor by the name of Sylvester Stallone....... :lol:

anyone know for the free 1,000km checkup (I won't call it a service) can you take it to any Hyundai dealership (service center) or do you have to take it back where you got it?

you can take it to any hyundai dealer AFAIK...
Which half? :wink:
Bottom half I reckon :wink:

bah your not a true italian until you are tight with money!! so much so that you re-use tea bags :P
i had a rather tight italian boss once, great guy i still respect him to this day, but man... he could be tight over the most silly things and his mate albino WOW... that man was the definition of tight! used to crack me up sometimes!
-
I am really tight (mostly) I didn't know that was an Italian trait :razz:
-
HAHAHAHA!
im tight too... its stupid some times, but meh!
-
anyone know for the free 1,000km checkup (I won't call it a service) can you take it to any Hyundai dealership (service center) or do you have to take it back where you got it?
I don't know about OZ, but here it's a traddition to take it back where we got it.
First 1.000 km checkup is not officially indispensable. That said, another dealer theoretically, would deny the free check-up.
In reality though, no-one denies a potential customer. Don't forget that they live from services, not from selling cars.
-
It's a shame for you guys Hyundai haven't YET gone down the fixed price servicing (like Toyota and Mitsubishi)
I had my 9 month/15,000 service on the Hybrid done the other day (at 11,000 kms) for A$130..including all consumables..I get 3 more at 9 month intervals before my warranty runs out (only 3 years :'()
The invoice showed Oils (durablend?) at A$36.50 + 10% GST, parts A$19.75 + 10% GST (mainly the filter) and Labour of A$132.80 + GST then discounted by around A$70.90 + GST to bring it back to A$130..
They have a really flash waiting lounge with a good size LCD TV comfy leather chairs .. help yourself free coffee machine and a friendly Service Manager..Impressed so far..
Included a wheel rotation and front wheel balance too..

15,000k service on a CRDI
Oil (Fuchs 5l) $60
Service (including filter) $90
For a total of $150 which is exactly $150 less than what the dealer wanted to charge.
Had the wheels rotated too, which the dealer wanted to charge more for.....
-
Gee you guys must have a more pleasant tone or be better looking than me, cause I'm getting my 15 k service done and its costing $350ish plus extra for a wheel balance and front end alignment( went to Qld the road works went for miles, were really rough and full of deep potholes) so I reckon it will be $400-450, not the $250 to $300 you guys and gals are getting.
Maybe it is because things are dearer in SA( where most of the Hyundai dealers are owned by the same Company).Oh well, nothing else for it, but to take in the i30, bend over the desk and take it like a man.
-
Stuff that,
Take it to a mechanic and have the scheduled service done....I saved $150 that way, you'll more likley save more.
While were on dealer rip offs, on of the girls at work took her car in for a 10 k service (not Hyundai). Gets a call from the workshop telling her that she should have the wheels rotated and balanced for just $32 more.
She was busy and said yeah whatever. Was talking to her over lunch. I said, wheel rotation is fine, but they need to remove the wheels to check the brakes so you shouldn't pay more for the mechanics to move wheels between hubs, and if there wasn't a thumping from the wheels there really isn't a need to balance the wheels either and as a guide I've done nearly 20k on mine and I have no intention on balancing them unless a problem develops.
She rang up and it backfired on them badly, not only did they comp the service, but they gave her a discount to boot. I guess they get away with it 95% of the time, so there is no need to argue when they get caught out.

Diesel 1.6 Crdi 1st y £187.98
That's 15% more than my dealer's original quote. In the end I paid £120 when supplying my own oil. Pays to shop around.

oh just remembered plus extra 2.5% VAT!!!
1st is just oil and oil filter
2nd is 1st plus replace brake/clutch fluids and air con filter and air filter

just had my 22000 k service.
i wasn't really paying much attention to be honest, i've had a particularly busy few weeks and had letter come in that said overdue on 6 month service. so i just booked it in.
bought own oil and service cost about $120 something inc filter change.
afterwards the receptionist remarked i could have left it til the 30,000 and it wouldn't have affected the warranty. mmm gee thanks.

Was probably worth doing anyway SC :goodjob: (keep her in good running order)
-
^yup peace of mind and all, was just a very tight fortnight. had every bill under the sun i think. :rolleyes:
at least i requested they look at the 'missing' shift lock bit as was suggested by my handy rattles guy couple months back, and they have ordered me a replacement part.
no indication at this stage that i will have to pay for it, so looks promising
-
Have had a quick browse of the thread but didn't get see anything.
But I just booked myself in for a hyundai i30 diesel 30,000km service and I asked the bloke estimated cost and he came back with a whopping $600!!!!!!!
Is that right? that's an insane amount! :scared: :scared:
Do you guys recommend me going to a non dealer? Will it change my warranty?
-
If you have a good independent service centre or garage nearby get a quote from them (it won't effect your warranty but make sure they stamp and date the service book..Try and find out what they reckon you need it parts for that price. My guess is it includes, Oil, Air & Fuel filters but not a pollen filter which should be o/k.
I left our Fuel filter until 60,000kms and supplied my own Kia one which was about $30 cheaper than the same Hyundai part number ($100 V $130 i think) it is on here somewhere.. The air Filter is about $10 cheaper through our local Kia dealer for the same part too .. If you have the time and inclination you can supply your own oil too (starting with something like Castol Edge Sport 5W30 for around $50...)
Doing this and using an independent could save you a couple of hundred $$$ easily (But still get a quote first)
Good luck... :D
EDIT: Jeepers.. Long time between posts (Nearly 2 years) :eek:.. (one of our original members :goodjob:)

Just got a 30,000km service from south-eastern dealer in Melbourne, cost $605, not happy with that...but to boot, wanted to charge $190 for a pollen filter and $66 for 2 stop light bulbs! :scared: (I assume that they're gold plated, and made by a monk in Tibet, and installed by trained spiders)
I'll be doing the bulbs myself tomorrow - It feels like terrible value ?? any suggestions on a good service center for the diesel around nunawading/vermont area ?
-
Ouch! Who was it?
I was happy with Makin and Luby in Heidelberg. Not close to you (nor me either really) but if you are prepared to wait it's just one return trip.

our hatch and cw are both 2.0 petrol,the hatch is manual and the cw is an automatic. we were quoted three days ago $380 for our 30.000km service on each car. we had a pollen filter changed on each car at 22.500kms and it cost $50.00 for each car. my wife has had a couple of stop light globes changed and it only cost $3.00 each. :goodjob: you have been seen coming in a big way. :disapp: i use Dandenong Hyundai for my services on the cars for two reasons,its were we bought them and they don't rip you off or muck you around. the guys at the counter actually know what your talking about and listen to your observations of the vehicle. the wife and myself have had on a few occasions one of the mechanics come out for a drive with us to find/hear a problem the wife's cw had. it turned out to be the exhaust and was fixed there and then. they have a scheduled service cost board on the wall that tells you the price for each service and in columns for, auto ,manual, diesel and petrol. :goodjob: what you see is what you pay. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
-
it was nunawading hyundai. I went changed the bulb myself today, and vacuumed the pollen filter (it will need replacing anyway)
time to remove filter :5mins + 2mins vacuuming
time to change both stop lights:7min + $3.85
My price per hour now, based on their quote for $270 for these two items is: $1115
I figure they should be able to do it faster than me though, so it's probably higher. Looks time for me to change business'!
-
welcome rowan. :razz: i would just buy a pollen filter and change it myself,especially at that price. :faint:

Here's a link to my 30k service experience. Too late for you now but for reference.

why are crdi owners being charged around $600 for a major service? :confused: i had thought up until now that the difference in a petrol and a crdi service was only around $100 . :rolleyes: that's what the price board states in my dealers service dept. :confused:

I was charged half that so I guess it depends where you go.
Incidently, your dealer was one of the dearest when I did my ring around. I haven't got the figures any more but until I did my telephone research, that's where I was going to have it done as they are closest to me and I also used them for the (quite satisfactory) first service.
-
thanks for the heads up pip. :goodjob: the price i was quoted for our petrol i30's was very reasonable compared to others. i really didn't think the diesel was so up and down in service price, but i don't own one so i have a good excuse for my ignorance. :-[:confused: :-\ :scared:

just had my 15000km
AU$133 inc parts and labour
did buy my own oil though
just had my 22000 k service.
bought own oil and service cost about $120 something inc filter change.
and my 30000k (using own oil again) was $296 ish.
quite a jump from my previous ones and using the same dealer. seems to be on the high side really looking at what others pay.
also they only dropped $54 for the oil wheras in the past they dropped it by approx $80.

Maybe a different Service Manager or Dealer Principal SC ?
-
Some official Hyundai service prices seem rather excessive. Would any of our members care to take a bad example and try to justify their price.
Given that dealers have access to OEM parts and bulk oil purchases are the rest of the costs absorbed by labour charges and a little profit, or are we being regularly fleeced. :whistler:
-
The problem is that like in a lot of retail, sales margins in the car industry have been eroded by competition and the GFC and so dealers look to their other departments to prop things up...
Apart from the fixed price deals offered by some, most brands dealers tend to charge a premium when they can..
I know Peugeot can be really expensive and I've heard horror stories about Subaru Servicing and I'm sure Honda and Mazda wouldn't be cheap (particularly after the warranty expires)
-
However, the landscape is changing.
Many dealers now offer "fixed price servicing" which, from the figures I've seen is extremely reasonable.
-
Maybe a different Service Manager or Dealer Principal SC ?
anything is possible i guess. they moved the saleyard proper to a different location altogether but have the services down at nissan still. so maybe something else changed to.
