Kylie, might be time for some tears, a shorter skirt, a bigger smile or a combination of all three.. I'm sure they must have a spare car of some sort! Tell them you have to get to work and anything will do!

Forget the 7,500k malarkey, unless the car is being used under extreme conditions servicing is only required every 12 months or 15,000k...which ever comes first.Therefore, if the last service was at 12,000, the next service isn't due until 27,000k.....

If I am working, the car gets driven about fifty ks each day - 25 there, 25 back. When does a short trip become a long trip?

You are only required to have the car serviced at the time / km intervals specified in the car manual. Any extra servicing is pure profit for them. Don't be fooled. However, you MUST ensure that servicing is performed, as close to the date / km's otherwise you risk loosing your warranty.

I will do the next service in a few weeks and see how it goes then. If I am still not happy I will just take it elsewhere. Not much else I can do.
I am going to have to learn to check the oil. I wonder what would happen if I checked it right before a service, and it was fine, and they changed it again? What color does the oil have to be before its changed, anyway?
