Thread: D4 Servicing pricing

The Corporate service plan is for new vehicles only. Even demo cars are excluded.

Cheers,

I'd just buy new and extend your loan

I have had my D4 3.0SE for 3 years and a bit now, and I do around 12,000km/year mainly city driving, and my experience is as follows:

$350 for first service (first year, independent LR specialist)
$1500 for 2nd service (2nd year, at dealer), but this was actually $2000 as it was the 2yr or 48,000km service
$350 for 3rd service (3rd year, independent LR specialist)

Throw in there another $1000-$1500 or so for brake disks and pads.

I am budgeting $2000 for this coming year as it will be a big one again. Independent specialist has standard price of $1200 and dealer has standard price of $1900. Also allowing for some wear and tear items etc

Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your info.

I'd love to go new but the difference in the 60k for second hand and +90 for new will be a squeeze.

Hi Eddomark, who is the independant you use in Sydney?

I just paid 73k for my13....on road 7 seat leather. Difference between second hand 2.7 and a new 3.0 8 speed well worth it in my opinion

Graham Cooper in St Peters (near Newtown).
They have a very good reputation.

If you want some comparative prices, I posted this a while ago in another thread, but note that after I challenged the dealer on the oil price they realised they had put the wrong code in and refunded $120 of the oil price (another long story involving complaint escalation to LR Australia).

Engine Oil - $84.14 (EPLUS0W40)-> $251.94 Castrol 5W/20 Synthetic
Oil Filter (same part #) - $24.07 -> $35.40
Drain Plug (same part #) - $8.46 -> $11.43
Washer Additive - $1.27 -> $8.94 (admittedly I have no idea which brand, but I fill my own one up normally with around $2.00 worth of stuff?)
Workshop Supplies/Consumables - $7.00 -> $24.00
Waste Disposal / Environmental Waste Levy - $1.00 -> $22.00?

I think I'm going to have a quick chat with them about the engine oil price...

Hi guys,

My last service at Ritters was about $815 for the 74k service with front pads on my D4 2.7 - fearing the 86k service will be a bit higher. This said, the Ritters guys do tend to do a good job.

There's my two cents!
