Evening!
I've a question for the Sydney Metro members out there... My car's due for a Full service and it's almost done 180,000kms. I know it will need the following on top of the usual stuff.
- Wheel Alignment
- A/C check & Re-Gas
- Oxygen Sensor Replacement
- Rear Brake Pad Replacement
- Timing Belt
Just wondering if anyone could give me a reasonable figure for the area please? Independent, not dealership!
Another rookie question - but it'll be the first service during my ownership and was I thinking about ordering the Pads, Belt & Sensor from Repco myself. Seems to be a big price difference on compatible parts - particularly the Oxygen Sensors! $150+ diff. Does more expensive, always equal better quality / functionality?
Cheers in advance for the advice

Hi there I can't comment on your location specific question but buying you service parts on line from reputable companies is generally a definitely a good idea and a great way to save so dollars.
Just be aware that some service providers may load their service charge/ labour costs slightly to offset the fact they are not making any margin on the service parts.
