Is that just Falcons, or other models as well?
My mum's Laser is due for a service (130K), and it would be fairly easy to just drop it off when in town at TAFE, and let her use my car for the day.

My last service on my ba 45,000km service was 169 bucks. No replacement of the air filter. This was due to my air filter in mint condition

You will find it is $129 plus.
They lure you in with the cost, get your car on the hoist and you leave after paying $500...

They hardly ever replace the things if they dont have to. Why? cos who ever checks their air filter after a service...

Would imagine, oil + filter + safety check & LABOR.
Best way to find out is ring them or check out a dealers website. Jarvis in Adelaide offer a $29 service. Very basic & done very quickly. |
