Stevegring Neutral Newbie November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 Hi Guys I just had my Swift on 31/8/07 and had clocked abt 7K so far. Alhough my servicing for 3 years are labour cost free, they are charging me $60 for mineral oil + filter and $95 for syntectic oil + filter. So I asked if I could bring my own instead, the person told me that they will charge me $20 for the labour fee. I am puzzled. Wasnt it supposed to be labour fee free? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 (edited) I hate this thing that they're doing. technically this is against the fair trade act. Unfortunately nobody has tried to fight the dealerships. Just get your own oil and pay the $20 as thats still cheaper than going to an outside workshop to get the same thing done if you brought your own oil Edited November 13, 2007 by Elfenstar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilander4650 Neutral Newbie November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 labour free is when u buy the oil from them..if u bring your own oil ofcos they will charge u labour if not they earn wat?? $60 for mineral & $95 for syuntetic oil is consider cheap already..with labour free. if u get some cheapo oil outside plus pay labour $20 come up to be the same amount as the mineral oil package..it is still cheaper considering if the oil u bought outside is syntetic oil like cxxxxxe.

Chucky2007 Turbocharged November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 i agree their action is very irritating.. but my advice is not to be fussed up with such amount.. may be a matter of principle but dun kill yr brain cell thinking how to fight back, help u avoid high blood pressure.. my advice is to focus on how to make more $$ so that alot of rising cost in life can be not taken too seriously.. enjoy life.. its not very long.

Kb27 Supersonic November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 It depends on the distributor. I bring my own oil and filter to Komoco, and they didn't charge anything as the labour is free for the first 3 servicings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddie 3rd Gear November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 Your Swift is from Champion Motors? As far as I know the first 3 services (1K, 10K and 20K) are COMPLETELY free. After that it's not free! The car warranty is for 3 years but you need to pay for servicing like normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_leong 2nd Gear November 13, 2007 Share November 13, 2007 At least they let you bring in your own oil. Mine at M.... Motors don't even let me have this option to bring in my own oil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
