Tunehouse 50k Service Cost Opinion

[TD]

That does seem expensive. The 50000km service is one of the little ones if you've been keeping up with the maintenance as per the book, I'll go through my records later today and post what my cost was from Brisbane's most exoensive Mazda service place if you want a comparison.

Yes the plugs are an expensive item, you are typically looking at about $100 for a set, why were they replaced, did you request it, modern plugs will usually see 80-100k before they need to be replaced.
Also, assuming you still have your stock intercooler on, you need to factor the additional labour in for removing and replacing in order to gain access to the plugs.
Oil isn't typically included in your base service price either, as different types if cars require different grades and quantities of oil.

As mentioned give them a call on Monday and ask for a more detailed cost breakdown.

Yeh, as per MattMPS3's comment.

I guess i didn't take the intercooler into consideration when i say a 15 min job. I only did it on my old sp23.

Best get a breakdown, maybe that will shed some light on the matter. But then who knows, maybe they accidentally over-charged you even......

As above, found my receipt from my 50000km service. Cost was $237.30 including a new set of wiper blades.

Plugs are good for 150,000kms in these cars I believe.
$220 is right for labour. $110 per hour. 2 hours is a bit long, but a fair charge.
Genuine plugs are worth about $60 each.

TMIC + Spark plug change = pain in the ass.

I see. Well, they showed me the old plugs and they looked pretty worn, so they made the call to change it (not that I'm experienced at looking at what a worn spark plug looks like). I didn't know it was a "big" job. They mentioned the new plugs will last 100,000km's if I don't do any mods to the car.

My car is stock. I'll get a breakdown of the cost.

I also notice on the invoice, the oil they use is 10w-40?

I think I read somewhere that Mazda specified different oils for Gen I and Gen II's.

Not sure which is which tho.
