First service on a Monaro

[alfienoakes]

Anyone had one yet ? If so who did it ? Did they do a good job ? how much was it ?

My 10,000 is almost up.....

I am very interested in this too. IF anyone has any experience of a service please share.

Yep, had mine done about a month ago, at Picador in Southampton. Basic service just over £180, which included over £80 just for the replacement oil (Mobil 1 0W-40), so overall not too bad. Good service staff too, very enthusiastic about the car.

Had to get 4 new tyres at the same time - down to legal minimum on all of them! Heh heh heh!! Also tracking was way out after I'd clipped a kerb (oops).

Had some warranty work done on the passenger seat electrics (button on seat back didn't work) which required a specialist part, this was couriered overnight and fitted the next day.

All in all, very happy.

Edited to add that those prices are VAT-inclusive.

Incidentally, I recall Stu Harris saying (about a year ago) that Vauxhall were considering having "a minimum of a V6" available as a courtesy car for Monaro owners - presumably this never happened, as I pootled about in a Meriva for two days

Interesting the oil they used on the service (0w-40) did they comment on why they went away from suggesed spec ?

[moosepig]

Nope. What is the suggested spec oil?

[caspy]

suggests mobil 1 10w-40 on my filler cap. I know has been discussed many times on here. I have 0w-40 Mobil one in at the moment,but seems not to be the norm.

Just wondered.
