This point was raised in another thread, and it got me thinking about the costs of servicing cars and what peoples' perceptions are about what it should cost, and what they are actually paying.2. Servicing relative to the cost of cars is expensive now. You can buy a decent reliable car for 5k and run it into the ground over 50k km which is probably cheaper than servicing every 10k km.
So, if you guys wouldn't mind; could you list what is:
a) Your perception of what a car service should cost, and
b) What you are currently paying for your services.
I realise that there are a million different brands, models, minor services and major services etc, and the labour cost can vary from dealerships to backyarders etc.
