How much do you pay for a service?

[Michael]

I was at John Ratcliffe in Krugersdorp today - Donaldson Agents.
The Filter kit for a D-4D is R301.00.
No filter kit (Air, Oil & Fuel) is over R650.00.

What comes in the R301 kit?

And people think Disco's are expensive.

When we has the D4D, the cost for a service was around R1K more than my D3, disregarding the stuff that I had broken

Dis glad nie sleg nie. Myne het hier rondom 2,8k to 3,4k geloop (laasgenoemde was vir die 90,000km diens)

I think a few things to keep in mind is that most modern vehicles have very little to do servicing it up to 100k km other than oil and filter changes.

After 100k km they are out off plan and warranty. My experience is that dealers push some wear items that needed replacement to the 100k km mark where it is not their responsibility any more.

Getting ripped of for a service is easy. But one need to make sure that everything that is up for replacement at 100k needed to be done. I knew a few brands that suggest wheel bearing, belt, tensioner and guide pulleys, cambelt with tensioners, diff and gearbox oils, suspension bushes. Around 100k km is also time to do cooling hoses and shocks if still equipped with OEM set.

Rather spend money at 100k km and have a proper service than a breakdown somewhere along the line. Think it is critical to not skimp trying to save money.

Example a 2.0l VW tdi engine need to have the water pump replaced with its timing belt replacement. Many skip this and do only the belt, some even skip the tensioners to save money. Then the water pump fails and the R3 or R4000. 00
suddenly becomes small money vs engine replacement.

Dealers gee nie om goed te vervang binne waarborg nie. Dit is goeie geld vir hulle, want hulle bill dit net na die diensplan toe. Die diensplanne word gedek deur bv avis of sulke maatskappye. Selfde met waarborg. N toyota handelaar, vervang die waarbirg part, en bill toyota sa vir part en arbeid.

So ek reken n handelaar hou baie meer daarvan om n waarborg/diensplan voertuig te diens. Hulle weet die part gaan vervang word, en sonder hassle betaal word. Buite diensplan, sty en stel die klient dit heelpad uit, en gaan doen dit dan by n indie nadat die handelaar die probleem ge id het.

My ervaring is dat dealers nie omgee om te vervang onder waarborg nie, maar die hoofhandelaar wat gewoonlik moeilik raak. By Nissan, as ek iets onder waarborg eis, dan is dit gewoonlik "hoofkantoor" wat vol kak raak.

That's not great. Normal oil services are around R1800.00 - R2200.00...
But, for Nissan, it's not bad.

Glad I bought the Isuzu though, may have cost R30 000 more, but, in addition to everything else, the first 6 services are free.
That's R15k back right there...
