the 2 things you highlights is the batteries for the central locking remotes, and the filter is the air con cabin filter

$66 for engine oil abit pricey ..........

The whole lot is "a bit pricey"!!!!!! Seriously is this what people pay for a job that would cost maybe $150 in parts max?
LOL I voided my warranty and did all this myself, as I aint paying an apprentice to do something that I can do better, and I know what oil is being used, IF the filters etc really are being changed. And if something went wrong with the car then I reckon it'd be cheaper to fix the problem than claim warranty after adding up what all the services have come to over the years. Would be in thousands.

I've just picked up a new SSV (my first one of these things - I love it).

Does anyone have good service experiences in the Inner West of Sydney they'd like to share - 'cos when it comes time to get it serviced, I'd like to be able to take it some place I can trust.

Also, the 1 year (and some large number of km) between recommended services sounds a little extreme to me, but then I don't really know much about anything... comments?

Thanks

At 45,000km it will be the Air Filter, not the Pollen Filter that was replaced.
