Sorry, you have no idea what you're talking about. Police fleet (and most other fleet joints) have a vastly discounted labour and parts pricing scheme which makes it no more expensive to service at a dealership as opposed to a cheap **** independent.
I agree. The servicing costs would all be part of purchase/lease deal. In any event, I pay less for holden to service my car at the recommended service interval than my local mechanic. I recently has my 45K service (car had 16.5k on it). I supplied the oil. Cost to me, the price of the oil from Repco on special plus Holden charged me $100.25 which included a brake fluid change. So all up around $210.
The deal when I bought the car was 5 years warranty and 3 years fixed price servicing. Now my dealer wrote to me last week and said I had been now offered lifetime capped pricing. Naturally, this only applies to the 9 months recommended service. My local guy who I use for an oil and filter change at 4.5 months after the Holden service cannot match the Holden price.
