45,000 kilometer service

What should I pay? Is there much to do?

I was thinking of forgetting about the extended warranty

At Holden it will be around $100 more than the minor services as they change air filter, remote batteries. May be time for brake fluid too depending on age of car??

You can get it done by any mechanic and it won't void a warranty

[TinSnips]

^^^ most extended warranties stipulate that servicing needs to be carried out by the purchasing dealership/chain. Manufacturer's warranty will remain though, so long as scheduled servicing is maintained and genuine parts used.

Just got my 45k service done yesterday.
Dealer quoted $440, Goodyear $310. It's more expensive than a minor service because you got to change the air filter- apparently a $70 part... bloody genuine parts .
For an extra $60 I got Goodyear to change brake fluid too (must be changed every 2 years).

Just make sure when you get quotes from mechanics you state "LOGBOOK" service... which requires genuine parts = costs more.

Dealer servicing is for shmucks .

P.S. Putting "Australia" in your location prevents people from offering decent mechanics in your local area. Just sayin.
