    One Hour service $320

    Just had my car serviced for registration renewal

    Reputable place. Charged me $320
    Took over an hour to service the car, car got well cared for with oil change, filter change, new windscreen wipers, brakes check, the usual service
    Given a 10 point service summary and they washed the windscreen for nothing

    The brothel down the road wants $300+ with no 10 point check receipt afterward

    If you are being charged for your own service as much as for a car service, do you also expect a reasonable body tune up (if you know what I mean) for that amount of money, or do you just care more and pay more for your car to be treated well ?

    I would hate to pay that type of money and get treated less well then my car

    My last service with Mercedes was $1400, so for that type of money I want to at least get a room in a luxury hotel and a private escort

    That's cool. Seriously would you ever consider paying $1400 for a punt?
    If it's good enough for your car, you deserve that too?

    I have never paid $1000+ for a punt, and I would have to write you a 10 point service report about what I would be requesting at that price

    So I took one of my cars to a Merc dealer. Asked the guy at the counter what they did for $1200. All he said was “we check all the nuts n bolts plus change the oil n filter”. Asked again, same answer.

    So I said “I’m basically paying for their stamp in the log book”. Last car that got serviced was another Merc and they didn’t top up the diesel fluid additive even though I told them it was being driven to QLD.

    Hard to find good help nowadays.

    Anyway the Merc dealers lost the court case recently so things will be changing.

    It's not difficult to service your own car. It's also cost effective. More money for punting.

    Yep, been there done that. I can rebuild anything from mechanical to electronics, reverse engineer software, numerous other things. etc. I barely have enough time to punt.

    Can’t waste time on some things.

    Is it cheaper to punt or have a partner?

    Lol, the age old question. My best advise is do not compare them.
    The only thing in common between them is they both bring you pussy. Outside of that, it's chalk and cheese.

    If the car is still under warranty it needs to be serviced by a licenced mechanic, not necessarily a dealer.

    Yes, it would affect the resale value of the car.

    You're "always busy" vincent because you're here 24/7 replying to every inane thread there is, and, sadly big noting yourself on a punting forum. More and more you're coming across as a sad lonely old man.
    Maybe you and sibon should get together, share ideas for your fictional writing.

    Seriously though go out and get a real life, you'll feel better.
    My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity.

    You don’t know my lifestyle, my background, my assets and I seriously doubt you could ever do or have the things I do.

    As regards posting here. I had planned on stopping at 400 posts. It’s small change considering I have over 100,000 elsewhere. Yes and I put them down whilst working…

    I’ll be at Double Bay at lunchtime. If you’re in the area I’ll buy you lunch. Pick any restaurant you like.

    I’m calling you on it.

    Easy very easy.

    Never get your car serviced by Mercedes dealerships, it's marked up.
    I've been going here for years saving an average of $400 to $500 a service. Even the break pads/rotor change was much cheaper than the dealership.

    Hi Vincent nice to be able and doing whatever you have time to do. I’ve learnt a lot here by people like you who post and offer reflections of life experience.

    The dealerships are a rip off been caught out a few times with dubious repairs - I go to Motoserve they do a great job and I trust them.

    I punt to get my nuts and bolts checked out - and that’s value - and I don’t mind paying the price.

    If I get a mate to provide a service I always pay more than his quote - why because the friendship requires respect.
    But I resent businesses who knowingly rip people off - buyer beware.? $1400 guess your paying for Hamilton???

    Whomever I choose.

    Ok if you don’t turn up today for a free meal that’s fine. I’m not fussed either way.

    But since I read you like a loser I have a better idea.

    I’ll pay for a $300 one hour session for you at a brothel of my choice. Now let’s see if you accept that offer, ha!

    The only condition being you must write a review. I presume you know how to do that?

    Fun and games on this site!

    Second call out.

    If you check his activity, he hasn't sign back on since he left the message. I'm sure everyone has better things to do than just being on here every minute all weekend long lol

    So after getting home at 3am and waking at 7am I then booked a two hour private session with a hot blonde 23 year old Asian piece for Tuesday.

    See it pays to be online early! I’ll definitely write a review and if she’s ok with pics I’ll put up one or two.

    Re the antagonist: I think the offer of a free meal or a free punt is a great idea! How nice does one have to be?

    Better things? Yep I’ll be having lunch shortly.
