    This has just got to be a racket. You get a quote and as you posted, next minute they say you need to do this and that and suddenly the price has gone up 4-5 times what they quoted.

    you guys need to find a mechanic who knows his craft but is not working for the dealerships. My mum has a 3 year old Mini & the prices the BMW dealerships quote are outrageous.

    Often with todays cars replacing of leads hoses and a "reboot" of the system computer is a service.

    Search the net.

    ^ Must be that time of year....

    Two weeks ago I got a bill for $570 for replacement of the radiator (which I'm not paying), 4 days later the same issue presented itself (overheating) and a reconditioning of the engine plus another replacement of the radiator (under warranty...go figure) was required. $1770.

    Originally the second time around he said I was looking at ~$1100. That crept up by $670.

    It's the main Subaru service plave. The only good thing is that they don't charge me when I bring it in for them to look at it and they wash it as well... Im clutching at straws here aren't I lol

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
