What does your VW dealer charge for oil Changes?

I live in North York and just got an oil change from the dealership. The cost of the oil change was $88.86. So I was just wondering what other VW people pay when they take it into your dealership. Does the price vary at different locations 'cos I'm looking to pay less for the same job next time. Also, the next time I go in will be my "BIGGER" maintenance 32000km schedule and I think that will cost me an arm and a leg!What does your VW dealer charge for oil Changes?Yes dealership prices vary somewhat. This applies to all dealerships be they Ford, Bentley, GM, etc. Same principle when it comes to house buying or taxes; N.Y. is much higher than N.C.

Oil/filter changes at my dealership is $73 (with synthetic oil; standard oil is only $47). The price per qt. of synthetic oil is $6. At 5 qts. that equals $30. Filter is $15. That leaves $25 for labor. Not bad IMO.

Just out of curiosity I called the local Honda dealership abt. the price of an oil/filter change for Honda; they quoted me $70.

So, I dont know why some complain abt. VW dealers pricing.

Yes, "Jr."s Garage" might save us a couple of $, but is he using hi-quality oil or a genuine VW filter? Remember, you get what you pay for.

Yes you can do your own oil change (keep receipts for warranty proof). I have done so for many yrs. But for just $25 I don t have to crawl around and get oily under my car.

As for my local VW dealer,they are #1 IMO. They treat my wife and I like royalty. They charge a fair price, do it quick, and do it right the 1st time. I trust them implicitly. BTW, we live in Fayetteville,NC.

Your 32K visit will likely cost you $$, but its worth it ( the mechanics check just abt. the entire car and perform vital maintenance). Please have it done, its well worth the cost.

We have a 2005 Jetta and a 2006 GTI that our dealer keeps in top shape. The cars provide us with such a trouble-free and fun-to-drive ownership that paying for their maint. schedule is ,to us a small non-factor.

So there you have it; no dealer-bashing for us. In our experience, the dealer knows best.....

That will probably be a tune up and valve adjustment. You can tell them to leave the oil change because you do it yourself."per se". It is none of their business where you get your oil changed at but they will cry that they can't guarantee this and that.....and you can tell them "ya,ya". You can even do the coolant change yourself. It is all in your owners manual as to what they do on the mileage check...so you can do most of it and tell them to do only this and this because you did the rest.

There is nothing anywhere that says the dealer has to do the work. I let them do the fuel injection timing, and head retorquing(as I drive diesel) and compression checking and injector cleaning and maybe check valve lash clearance. Timing belts, I change myself, air cleaners and oil and coolant I do.(because I can)What does your VW dealer charge for oil Changes?60 bucks here in new hampshire. however that is also for my gti 1.8t.

Prices vary a lot; labour varies from area to area, in the San Francisco Bay Area, labour runs (at the dealership level-from 100.00 USD to 155.00 per Hour), plus parts. Even parts prices vary from dealership to dealership, with the oil (various brands- all synthenic) from 6.50 qt. to 10.50 qt. (for VW approved and sold oil), plus the filter (though it seems the filter only has a dollar or so difference from dealer to dealer).



In this area, the farther away you get from San Francisco, the lower the labour rate is (that's way there is a 50% difference from the lowest rate to the highest) covering the nine Bay Area counties.



The difference between dealerships within a few miles of each other is fairly small; the independent VW specialist shops within the area that I'm at charge between 60 to 85 USD for a oil change on a 2004 Jetta 1.8 t, the dealership is at 75 USD, so its in the ball park (so to speak).



Depending upon where you are, Walmart has Mobil 1 European formula oil changes for earlier turbo and diesel models for $50 or so in this area, which is less than even the independent shops. Just be sure to have them change the oil drain plug washer (you supply it, tape to the steering wheel with a note %26amp; tell the write up person you want it changed and ask for the old washer back to be sure that they changed it).



If you choose to have an oil change type place change the oil; be sure to purchase your own drain plug washers from the dealer as well as the correct coolant and power steering fluid, as they probably won't have the right one on hand for your vehicle. Too many times, I've seen these outfits add the wrong fluid and cause expensive repairs. It's a German car and they require different fluids from the US made vehicles.



Hope this helps, a car nut.
