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.

Just had the 40k service done at Mcarthur (Narellan)
Breakdown was
Parts: $314
Labour: $260
POL: $75
Misc: $13
Tax: $66
TOTAL $730
I supplied my own oil.
Parts consisted of:
Engine Filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Gear Oil, Washer, Screen Wash.
Oddly, they said there were no computer patches/recalls, which I was sure I received a letter several months back for the O'head light wiring.
Reception lady appeared quite pleasant, and a loan car was made available.

Well I carnt complain about my last 40K service as it didnt cost me a cent:)
Jeep went in for another rear transmission seal replacement because of oil leaking out of transmission, not that badly as no oil drips on the ground. But I could not get a roadworthy with this condition as I was selling the Jeep. So the dealer replaced the seal under warranty but also carried out the 40K service as well. When I went too pick it up the service adviser found that they had carried out the service by mistake, so I guess its the new owners gain.
P.S. I have ordered a 2015 SRT from the same dealer, which is sitting in their yard awaiting the Goliath wheels for the past 2 weeks.
one wonders :rolleyes:

It seems the Artarmon Service Centre is now called the Badyear Goodyear Auto Care Artarmon. However it's still in the Sutton's stable of companies as is Scuderia Veloce Motors. Brands that Suttons handles are Subaru, Toyota, Misubishi, Hyundai, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Holden, HSV, Nissan, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Izuzu, Infinity and now it seems Goodyear. No doubt I've missed a few. It's hard to get company details with Suttons still being a private company.

Just got a quote for my 36000km service (5.7L petrol) and was astounded to be told $1061 (my previous service at same dealer was $460)!!! So, I rang another dealer and was quoted $733 for the same service.
I called back the original dealer and told them of the better price and asked why. They claimed that it was a big service and all diff oils, etc had to be changed every 36000klm. However according to Snuke's service schedule spreadsheet these fluids are done at 48000km not 36000km.
Makes me wonder if different dealers are using different schedules, and one does not always get services done at the same dealer, then stuff is going to get missed?!
Shame that some drama always happens at service time :(

My local dealer (Cessnock nsw) quoted me $700+ for my diesel 40,000km service. I called Artarmon and they quoted something over $1,000. When I asked why they said that the service schedule in the booklet is wrong and they use a new schedule from Jeep Australia. It included flushing of the brake fluid. Never heard of this at 40,000km and 18 months before. Maybe they use an especially hygroscopic type! Anyway, I figure it was all bs.

Was the air filter change at 20,000km one of those schedule mistakes, and it should actually only be at 40,000km?

GC is up for the 12m/20K service. I have only done 13K. Is it required to get the service done right on 12 months or can I wait couple of months and get few more K's. Will be calling few dealers to get the quote. Has anyone done this service recently?? how much did it cost?? Appreciate your replies.

Cheers...

You can try to push it out a month or two, but the risk is that if you have a warranty claim in the future Jeep may use this as grounds for not honouring the claim. I will generally just do it in the same month, not necessarily to the exact date.

Moving to Melbourne with the family for work at the end of the year.
Fellow Jeep owners in Melbourne and Geelong, are then any recommendations for Dealerships that has given you good quality service for scheduled maintenance at a competitive price?

Lucky you! I'm happy with Bayford Hawthorn, so far! Being a new Jeep dealership here they have been very accommodating. Time will tell if they drop the ball.

Back in 2000 - 2004, when I had my WJ Grand Cherokee, I took my car to "Poly 4x4" in Huntingdale (Melbourne). They are Jeep specialists.

They were very good; true Jeep lovers :) but I don't hear much about them here on this site. I found out about them from the "Ausjeepoffroad" site. A lot of those members get their Jeeps serviced at Poly 4x4 in Melbourne.

Maybe worth a look :)

Anybody completed there own transmission fluid change yet? I know in some guides its fill for life but looking at a lot of Mercedes Benz forums concerning the 722.6 there is a strong recommendation to do it at 60k. My MY12 manual outlines 50K

These days technology is so good and maintenance so bad that stats are showing most failures occur shortly after maintenance events. Just watch Air Crash Investigations. Most of you would have had cars returned with caps missing, screws missing etc. So if the consensus is to fill for life and you haven't been doing wheelies or a lot of towing, then just leave it alone. Most likely you will have sold the car before the gearbox packs it in anyway. If mine gets done it will be only if I do it.

Bob, I agree with what you say in terms of circumstance of failure.

For me I now have all the parts, for the transmission service and it seems a relatively easy maintenance activity, the only bit of information I am verifying is if the transmission temperature on the instrument cluster is accurate enough to set fluid level.
 
#1,049 ·
I would think it's miles accurate enough. I wasn't aware that temperature was an issue in refilling but I'd guess it's taking account of expansion of the gearbox case.
