Guy's, I know this information is dotted around other threads but I was looking to get an idea of reasonable or unreasonable service cost experience in one place. My CRD's up for a 20K service (oil service message just came up). I've been quoted around $500 at Albion Brisbane and just over $600 at Salters Moorooka. I know we can always do better by supplying our own oil, but as far as the above prices are concerned, anybody have similar quotes/costs? PS, My 10k service was $430 at Albion.

Good idea listing accumulated GMWK2. Saves searching through the thread. :)

So for us (MY14 3.0L CRD)

10 - $350 (Narellan)
20 - $410 (Narellan)
30 - $410 (Narellan)
40 - $850 (Narellan)

Well just had 50k service done by my local dealer on my 2012 diesel for a cost of $490 which was $900 less than three other quotes from other Jeep dealers in the Perth metro area. When I queried the price difference they told me that Jeep released a bulletin saying that the transmission oil does not need replacing on this service, but to replace only if the system is leaking or the oil is contaminated. So I really wonder if the other dealers actually replace the oil if there is nothing wrong with it or leave it and still charge???How can one service dealer receive a service bulletin and not the others

Dasher, not that it might not be the going rate, but the 50K service only the oil and filter are changed for the Diesel. So according to this spreadsheet the actual price (not discount) would be $410.95.

I'm coming up to that but out of warranty (>36 months) and supplying the parts so will be interesting to see what I'm quoted which would only be labour from a non Jeep service centre. Really just paying for the service book stamp.

So it is effectively maintenance free now?

It makes sense. My Commodore had a maintenance free box. There was no way to change the oil even if one wanted to. I guess Chrysler is attempting to keep up with the times. Modern engineering is so good now that often failures are more likely due to poor maintenance than lack of maintenance. Google "maintenance induced failures" if you want to know more.

In regard to servicing of autos, you need to temper the recommendations from the manufacturer with how long you intend to keep the vehicle. Ie, when they say "maintenance free", or "sealed for life", what they really mean is "good till after the warranty has expired". For the latest ZF trannies, oil is probably good for 150k max, or 100k if you are towing. Google and research the trannie manufactures, they often recommend something different than the car manufacturers, who are more interested in reducing life of vehicle costs on paper, rather extending the serviceable life of a component.

My 2c only.

After driving 4-5 hours in campbeltown area (hot day) my AC condenser started leaking and the AC stopped working. My jeep done 45 k and 4 months remaining in warranty. I rang few dealers in Sydney, all had 2 weeks wait time for a booking. I rang Chullora jeep and it was 3 days wait for a booking. I took the jeep to Chullora last Friday, they diagnosed it, ordered parts and my jeep was fixed the following Monday. I found 3 others jeep owners who experience the same problem around the 40k mark. Overall very happy with the result, I was thinking driving around no AC for months but it all worked out.

What was the exact problem with the a/c? Wondering if it is common across all those who had a failure at 45k, and if preventable by some maintenance earliest.

Was just quoted $399 by Osborne Park CJD for the 6 month/12k service on my V6 Petrol. This was their 'best price', but they said they'd beat other Jeep dealer quotes by 10%. Best price, my ass.... Anyone in Perth had this service done cheaper than this? Just wondering whether I should spend the time ringing around


Cheers, Simon

Oh, "V6 Petrol". On my first couple of reads I was reading "V6 Patrol" and was about to suggest you look elsewhere.:slapfight:

It's from Port City Autos', Hervey Bay Qld.

nicjak, what are the contradictions?
 
#940 ·
This is an excellent guide but the costs shouldn't be regarded as in any way official Jeep costs. The costs are what Port City Autos chooses to charge. Their labour costs and pricing strategy are their own. The only common factor is the cost to the dealer of Jeep parts. Also, these prices may well be cost or minimum chargeable prices with markups allowed to be added to suit circumstances (what the punter will pay).

Got Os Park Jeep down from $399 (when I called them last week) to $299 for my v6 petrol 6month service. They cold-called me yesterday advising the service was due and it was now $420, then quickly dropped the price when I mentioned I would go elsewhere to get it done cheaper. It's little more than an oil change ffs..

$420? What are they smokin'?


Cheers, Simon

nicjak, yes your post got me checking, but from what I have seen the intervals are extending hence the price should be reducing for servicing. Not sure that this is the situation and certainly shouldn't be driving the large variations in pricing.

Another discrepancy is

"Change Transfer Case Fluid" current handbook outlines 50K other guide 80K. Anybody got experience if Transfer Case Fluid was changed at 50K?

I'm looking to book at a 'normal' service centre (Jeep out of warranty) and want to ensure the correct fluids are changed.

thanks
