Getting car serviced

I am going to get a 10,000km service, so I checked a couple of places in my local area (Outer East) for a quote...

Kamikaze: I went there when looking for an FTO last year, they were friendly and seemed honest and proffessional...
They quoted me $165 plus parts.

Racing Zone: Their quote was $400 including parts, and they said they use Motul oil, whioch has been recommended on the forums previously.

I have chosen to go with Kamikaze, I'll let you all know how it goes.

kamikaze in ringwood?
the guy there is nice enough, but the couple of FTOs i drove there were pretty rank. Very rattley and that put me off.

Did you call hypertech in vermont?

whatever u do get firm quotes before any work is done, dont make my mistake!

hey,
yeh he called me 8am the next day - which i admit impressed me.
He went through everything and I guess at the end of the day he had an answer for everything, and was apologetic for any confusion but if i use them again i will definaltey get quote written down as FINAL.
My car is running well though which is some consolation and i got cheap insurance that week which saved some $$
