Hi everybody!
Recently I have passed 45 000 km service on my Astra and I was shocked by the prices at McGrath Sutherland as you probably have seen my calculation in previous posting.
I was amazed by the attitude of the service people there when they did not give me seriously any chance to check what's going on with my pads, etc. Obviously there were more then 50% of life at rear ones at least.
So, my question is, what better to do:
- to keep my Astra till full 3 years factory warranty and trade in before service?
- to make 60 000 km service and trade-in?
- trade-in asap (at least brakes are new, damn)?
- what to do with extension warranty for extra 3 years that I foolishly paid 2 years ago? The contract requires to present Astra every 6 month for service to the same people in McGrath when standard warranty finishes.I am afraid it will be a full robbery!
Thank you for your comments and experience.
