30,000km service and $1345 later

[noobie]

Gimme a freaking break (pun intended)

Can't believe i had to replace my front rotors and pads after 30,000k's.

Not to mention I got suckered into "fuel injection" clean for $150 more.

*sigh* If i was paying cash, i would have tolde them to get stuffed.

That's the problem with plastic (motorpass) you just don't think enough about it.

Not to mention my front tyres need replacing as well (although I know why that is):yikes:

And thats why you NEVER, NEVER, EVER go to Holden for a service...

I didn't even need to say "Holden" did I...............................fookers.

[gman]

You didn't need too.. ;)

Holden tear you a new one and then over charge and fit parts that you'll only have to replace in another 30,000km's....

In short, I never use Holden and never buy Holden spares if I can avoid it...

[Keep'emRunning]

..did you get an itemised bill?

[hazrd]

should have asked for the old parts and gone from there....

[ROCCO]

bloody hell...what kind of driving where you doing to have to change your rotors and pads at 30K? I'm at 90K and I havnt had to do that yet.

[gman]

They were probably fine..Some apprentice needed to be shown how to change rotors nd pads and unfortunately your name came out of the lucky dip...

As much as I work in the aftermarket, and would REALLY REALLY like to subscribe to that theory, only yesterday I picked my Cross 6 One Toner AWD up from it's 90,000 service and $739 later at Motorama Holden. But that also included the 105,000 transmission service that I got early cause it's had a hard life towing (and do recce for the ARC, but I failed to mention that part :D)

In my case, if it was a normal Commodore, or even a normal one toner, I would have absolutely not issue going to an ultratune/autoleaders/Midas etc. but after I had a wheel alignment done on the ute a couple of years ago, and asked if they noticed if the front diff was leaking, to which they replied, "um... you're kidding right, you're car doesn't have a front diff!" I decided I just have one of those cars that is best left to Holden to service... :(

Yep, I've got a Cross 6 One Tonner:

Same running gear as an Adventra or Crewman Cross 6 (or HSV Coupe4 :D), but no one knows it was also available in a One Tonner. So I doubt your normal Midas or Ultra Tune are going to know what to do properly with a Commodore with 2 extra diffs... :(
