I would like to take on board recommendations from you experienced members.
Do's and Don't on the topic.
I'am based in Melbourne inner- western suburb, my VE Berlina is due for its 150,000 major service, what I understand so far is I require a transmission service , I would also like the brake pads to be replaced as I'am hearing a bit of squeaking sometimes when I slow stop.
What else apart from the usual do I need to chat with the service mechanic.
I'am very suspicious of what the charging structure is for this particular service, so if someone could provide me some high level estimates on what I would be looking at paying, that would be nice.
I'am keen not to get my car serviced at a Holden dealership, simply because they are very in-flexible with appointments and don't have much availability most of the time.They usually are also very high priced, does not justify when my car is not worth over $15,000 by market value.
So if you know of any franchise or private repair shop that doesn't charge an arm and leg and yet are genuine with their work, please recommend them.
