Where do you guys service your car in Sydney?
I'm still contemplating to go to my Toyota dealer or to go to third party and have it looked after more properly.
Anyone knows a great place to have your car serviced? I try to avoid my car being serviced by someone who doesn't care. Thanks |

I get mine serviced by the dealership because it's free.
When i eventually get around to modding then i'll have to find somewhere else as the dealer wont service it then. Last edited by Airswing; 10-20-2014 at 11:45 PM. |

Toyota Chatswood and Canterbury have the best reps in the NSW club. Fergusons and Noble have 86 owners in the service department who will look out for your car.
Non-Toyota options include Garage 88 and VSport out west, Tunehouse down south, and generally any Subaru specialist will be a good place to go. |

I might try garage88. But do you think first service is worth going to third party and paying extra?

I cant see why anyone wouldn't unless they seriously distrust the dealers service department, assuming third party is or can be better is a disaster waiting to happen. Alot of pro's out way the cons of a dealer service. |

My BRZ is now out of warranty. So the "included" servicing at Subaru was finished. Took it to Tunehouse at Marrickville just before it was out of Warranty to see if there when any issues Subaru might have been sweeping under the carpet during their "free" services.
Good new was no issues, they could not find a leak anywhere. So i cannot actually fault Subaru on the service they gave. On the other hand, Tunehouse was not a cheap service, but the level of detail they went to was chalk and cheese compared to the dealer service. |
