I've already asked him that, but he doesn't seem to reply to my question

nunawading engine clinic

to make thing even worse my car now has a f**ked coil pack (it didnt when i bought it in) so its running like absolute shit (worse then when i took it in for the service!!!) it is jittering at idle and power is struggling at low revs, after paying him $1200 he has made me wait a week to take it back and get it fixed.

the last thing i want to do is drive from tullamarine (work) to nunawdaing after a hard days work

STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE!!!@@

the word clinic makes me wanna steer clear altogether. theres a fair few reputable workshops on your side of the city.

My 100k service kit from Kudos arrived today, i'll fit it later this week at my mechanics

Their is a difference between a "service" and "fixing problems".

Best post in the thread.

Totally and UTTERLY depends on what needs fixing, most likely there are more problems than a reglar 100k service would cover.

Exactly...

Just dont let him charge you $1000 for a coil pack

Can anyone recommend any good places that they have had their cars at for the 100k service (in melbourne), mine is just around the corner and I would really like to take it to someone that can do the job quick, but at the same time keep it at a reasonable price and do a good job of it..

RB20DET approx 1000km service. I had water pump, timing belt/tensioner/idler and all front belts reaplaced actually from memory its was around $750. no genuine nissan parts though.

Got my 100,000km service done for just under $1000. Bought the kit from kudo's shopped around for labour costs and all done.

So what did you actually get changed? Some really rough prices are:

Timing belt - $200

Water pump - $150

Brake pads - $200

Fluids - $100

Spark plugs - $120 for platniums or whatever

Fuel/oil/air filters $100

Did you get the brake discs machined or replaced? machining - $100, replacement $500

So thats about a grand at least, without any labour...

It cost me about $500 to get my timing belt changed and new filters/fluids. No water pump, no brakes or anything.

cost me $638 at tillbrooks in adelaide for labour got parts from kudos motorsport $517 got heavy duty kit not the standard kit soall up around $1150
