Capped price service

[Justcomm]

Hey there gents. Can anyone chime in on what they usually pay for a logbook service at the dealership? I’ve been paying over $600 when capped price service guide states it’s $299. Not sure if it’s just me or what’s the go. I drive a vf commodore 16. Thanks gents

That Correct, "CRAPPED" price service

CRAPPED price service should be approx. $280 > $300, being it's an incentive to return,
But make sure they have DONE EVERYTHING !
As I had a CRAPPED price service on my " 1989 VN Update", 1996 VS II Aclaim, and VE S1 Berlina, (all new Cars I had purchased) and Reg Hunt Motors, & Brighton Holden NEVER did everything !

So I set my cars up to see if they did, and caught them out most of the times,
So I challenged them, and they swore black and blue their "TECHNITIONS did all the work,
Well they came unstuck everytime I had set them up, they just didn't get it !

I Didn't mind paying for a Service,
but refuse to GET FCKED over, and pay for stuff that wasnt done !

Have you asked the dealer why you are paying double ?

Thanks gents

There are ladies too
If I recall, our 2017 car was initially something like $279 for the first two or three services, then went up to $329 or something.
I’ve since moved from where the dealership was and now take it to a local guy.

@Justcomm, just google capped price servicing and you’ll get Holden’s web site

Site Maintenance

and within the above web page it links the following price schedule for premium capped price service for vehicles less than 5 years old (while premium service costs are dealer dependant for vehicles > 5 years old)…

From that page the CPS price schedule is listed below

https://www.holden.com.au/content/dam/holden/oc/au/en/index/owning/service-overview/02-pdfs/v2/CPS%20Price%20Guide.pdf

Odd thing is that when I bought my VF it was a CPS qualified vehicle and there was no mention of this 5 year time limit. Seems Holden just unilaterally changed the meaning of lifetime and capped price… but for what it’s worth, I’ve been paying $259 till you service and now $319…

With that in mind and considering that the last of the VF’s would have been sold 2018, this year is probably their last $319 for any qualifying vehicle…

And the google search also came up with the following article (which is just another fcuk you from GM)

Holden axes ‘lifetime’ capped price servicing, 2 million customers affected

US car giant General Motors has quietly dropped Holden’s “lifetime” capped price servicing program for all models dating back to 1948 – despite making the promise to more than 2 million owners across Australia since 2015.

GM are fcuken arseholes as their lifetime capped price servicing ends before my vehicle warranty has even finished…. lifetime my arse

Justcomm, if your car is < 5 years old when those exy $600 services were done, I’d be giving Holden Customer Care a call and confirming that your car qualified for CPS and then I’d be speaking sternly to the dealer principle…

Yeah they also weren’t maintaining it to the standard of the service they claim which is a shame. Brakes and rotors got worn down and they didn’t even say anything plus several other little faults

I asked when they jumped the price but they used there tactics to try to explain that it wasn’t the case.

My apologies, seems it might be the way to go from now. I mean the standard is poor makes me wonder that they are even doing anything all those times. It was good before they moved dealer locations when the price was capped
